It wasn't entirely clear to me what the limits of their power was. I suppose maybe the tides would have the power to alter reality on such a fundamental level. though I'll confess to not knowing enough about it to say that with much confidence, that is at least the impression I got from playing the game. Some examples would be Vhailor remaining alive because he doesn't realize has has died, or the philosopher you can argue into nothing by convincing him he doesn't exist.Īdahn is another such manifestation: The TNO's persistent lie that a person named Adahn exists simply causes him to exist when enough people believe that he does.īut I don't think anything like that can happen in the numenera setting. At the time, it was the highest-funded Kickstarter game (3.9m), surpassed since by Torment: Tides of Numenera, Bloodstained, and Shenmue 3. He dies if his two bone hearts run out, with no further consequence, and disappears when Isaac leaves the room. The planescape setting is fascinating, at least to me, in that its nature is such that its reality can be shaped by one's perception of it. Spawns The Forgotten as a temporary secondary character, controlled at the same time as Isaac. This is kind of an aside, but that isn't accurate. I thought that this must be the TToN equivalent of telling people that your name is Adahn - and then it turns out that this is literally true. What do you think? Did I miss something here? I wonder if it's actually possible to reclaim those memories and truly become the person the Changing God was, I didn't choose the path for that (and I'm not sure I'd want to, I'm simply curious).")ĮDIT: Anyone know what I did wrong with my spoiler tags? Can't seem to get them to work x_O One might argue that losing your memories so completely actually does make you a new person, but it's still different from the other Castoffs, where one mind left and an entirely new and separate one forms in its stead. The Changing God simply lost his memories, and that is why you start the game under the impressions that you are newly born.īut actually, your new personality is the Changing God in a timeloop: At the start you lose your memories, at the end you travel back and witness that event. Surreal, atonal music billows from these far-future locales, setting an uneasy tone. The Changing God didn't abandon your body, leading to a new consciousness being created to fill the void. Its environments are rich and detailed, packed with strange creatures and wondrous animated effects. This means you're NOT actually a Castoff. As you then run from the Sorrow, it strikes you with a tentacle and erases your memories. At this point, you also have his memories and the Specter. Gather your courage, for this unholy excruciator will stop at nothing to prolong the torment of the undead souls in his charge. You went back in time through the mere and took over his mind and body. doesn't the final mere imply that YOU are actually the Changing God? (#s "So, after the ending, I was wondering.
