I always perfered Nial. His path is slightly more challanging since he doesnt have any techs. =]

Lol I never liked Ayn, his bright hair really bugged me. His hair didn't match his face.
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.

People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....

I prefer Ayn's because 1/2 of Nial's quest is in Sean's/Crys' quest. Going the Nial route you miss out on a lot of the game.

Y'know...going back and reading my old post, I can think of more to say now. :lol: Overall, I just prefer Nial's storyline -- even if you miss out on what happens in Ayn's timeline (Ayn's path is just depressing, really).

Especially Sean's tanget. Wow, that was just a total downer from the beginning.

But I would have liked Nial's adventure to be more unique. It really does feel repetitive, especially right after doing one of Ayn's kids, you know?

I think from a storytelling standpoint Sean's is the most interesting 3rd generation. His situation starts off so desperate, stranded in a desert with no help in sight. His first stop is Landen where he receives a chilly reception ("If Ayn had married Sari we might have won"). It's the solo hero vs. impossible odds theme. Yeah it's by far the saddest opening in the game but it also gives Sean a more compelling reason to defeat Dark Force than the other story lines.

That's true. The others are all "Ooo, terror! Leave with friends and go check it out!" Sean's tangent did at least break from that mold and give him some history and stronger personal purpose. I expected another Siren fight after that opening.

I thought crashing in the desert was kind of silly (how did they even get the ship into the desert? :? ), but it was better than another start at Landen.

This kind of made sense to me, since there's a wide open space for them to do a crash landing. Seeing as Aquatica, Terminus, and Draconia were the closest domes to Azura, the next best option was Aridia since each of those wouldn't be suited for a landing with the exception of Techna in Draconia...dunno why they simply didn't go back there, though perhaps they didn't have the time. That, and that was probably a good move on the programmers' part since you weren't supposed to return to Azura anyways, with it being destroyed and all.
