The last fmv after you have made your decision against The Transcendent One. "What can change the nature of a man"?

I'm impressed by how satisfying and powerful this ending is, considering that this cutscene is really short and *literally* shows the protagonist stuck in hell for eternity. In the end, the Nameless One has the answers he wanted and finally broke the infernal loop of his immortality. He knows he is done harming people, and accepts his punishment with dignity. For the first time in millennia, he's at peace.
@mareksicinski449
@mareksicinski449 Рік тому
Is it reslly for eternity? Punishment? Hard to call this justly satisfying, I don't think I want anyone to suffer for eternity, or to suffer needlessly. He is clearly going to be harming people on the same plane in the blood war However there is some trope. I don't think the trope of 'accepting punishment' as 'punishment' even eternal damnation is a good thing Especially bad is the director's exegesis of the green knight ending, so if you take this ending to the game as seriously as the director of the green knight took his especially if you take it seriously It would be no hope

it makes some sense reaction-wise, but it isn't necessariy a correct way of looking at things. I don't agree that this is the way we should look at people in real life, or how people shoud look at each other. forgiveness etc isnt rivial, and deifnitely eternal suffeiing isn't a wish or solution; i noticed the breaking bad directors excpressed the horrific idea tha thtye're fine with no heaven but want a hell: now that is reflection of an attitude that is relfected in different times and places quite widely in human history but that is fundamentally wrong. The impulse to want people to just 'suffer' is ultimately a failure of human psychology in connection to ethics It is fundamentally linked to the incorrect identification of several things, mainly some kind of fundamental phenomenon of 'recognition' with 'measuring out' or dealing out/experiencing a suffering It is ironic that arch-conservative dostoevsky pointed out through the mouth of ivan karamazov that he doesn't want a hell, he doesn't want people to suffer and that it wouldn't 'justify' or repay the suffering in the world in any way you could arhube about the going gently but imnot sure

@@halberdsturgeon8775 Especially Considering that spelling mistakes aside, The Nameless one is the most powerful being in the universe really (The Authors Admit that TNO by virtue of his immortality, if he remembers all his past incarnations is MAX LVL IN EVERY CLASS) so it might just be a blitz of a victory for him, *and the moral ramifications of harming people in the blood war are zilch as they are all damned beings same as him.* Not to mention that it is far better then an eternity of Endless death until both you and your discarded mortality are crippled beings who will plead for Damnation, rather then the eternity of constant suffering inflicted on themselves and the universe. Really, this fellow is trying to just come off as being enlightened, but instead comes off as someone who's trying to go "Well I coulda wrote it better." No hope, pffwfft there is always hope, if there were no hope the many mythos of our world would not have messages of hope in them.

I know all the endings aren't happy, but The Nameless One absorbs his mortality and regains all the memories and skills of previous lives, and The Transcendent One states that The Nameless One's lifespan is tallied in thousands of years. He can bring the dead back to life, which is something only a god can do, and if The Transcendent One wasn't just boasting, The Nameless One can now form planes of existence through sheer willpower. I don't think The Blood War could ever end him, especially now.

It's been a while, but a manly tear was shed when I completed the game all those years back. Partially because an extraordinary experience was over and also because, even though the piper *had* to be paid and the loss of innocent lives halted, I still hoped for a gentler ending for TNO. Hell of a ride, anyways. Here's hoping Torment: Tides of Numenera can satisfy us.

Regarding whether he stuck fighting the Blood War (in whatever location this was) eternally, that may or may not be true. If the story has taught me anything, it's that *anything* is possible, hell, even through belief. It's my belief that his companions will stop at nothing to rescue him, and perhaps he was rescued and will spend the rest of his life with Annah, and Morte as a kickball when he gets bored.

Whether regret, or love, or revenge or fear - whatever you believe can change the nature of a man, can. "...I've seen belief move cities, make men stave off death, and turn an evil’s hag heart half-circle... Once, it made a man seek immortality and achieve it."

If you get the best ending, I feel sorry for literally anything that gets in NMO's way in the Blood War. That confident stride towards the endless battlefield? Literally thousands of lives worth of experience with every possible weapon, including magic, and that's not even mentioning the vast amounts of knowledge he possesses and the intellect to use it. In all honesty I wouldn't be surprised if he escaped hell after he felt like he did his time, because _there would be nothing almost anything could do to stop him_

@@mareksicinski449 Im not sure to be honest. Nameless one didnt die and go to hell as lemure or other lesser creature. He was kinda transported there instantly. It looks like he is as he was during fight with mortality. So that means he has his entire arsenal of powers of thousands lifes. I cant see anyone other than Lord Asmodeus and supreme deities like Moradi or Corellon capable of stopping him. At the end of the game NMO is basically epic level character with access to spells like celestial host, abbyssal fury etc. Then you add knowledge and experienc of your other 1000 lifetimes. He was basically Greater Deity himself and his multi-class levels would probably look like Fighter40/Wizard30/Thief30 if not higher.

People made clamouring about the Nameless One potentially escaping the Blood War with Fall-from-Grace or getting a reference of his existence from Karlach in BG3, but honestly I prefer that he becomes just one of the nameless masses fighting in that eternal war. It's sad that he has to leave behind his companions, but it's the best ending for his character: for a man who has committed countless atrocities and acts over his several thousands of years of reincarnating, it's only fitting that he becomes one of the millions of unnamed, damned soldiers condemned to fight in a never-ending demon war, and clearly it's the place where he's happiest and most content with himself; accepting his eternal punishment for his sin.

I think he has already accepted everything that he is and has done. Two things remain, then: reparations and, eventually, self forgiveness. Because he's going to need the latter if he intends to fulfill the former correctly, because he'll need to work from places OTHER than the Gray Wastes to do that. All the same, a few millennia in hell might still provide some much needed voluntary soul cleansing first. Hm... but he did say that time works differently in hell, so maybe he'll get to meet his companions in the meanwhile. Well, the ones who would both still be alive, or "alive", and WANT to make the trip for him anyway. Considering what the Wastes of Hades do to people, especially long-term visitors who came alone, he's going to need them.

Yes! This is *the* game that I refer to whenever a "are games art?" discussion comes up. Along with PST, I would only count King of Dragon Pass and Pathologic games that are truly art. All of them, sadly, very unknown... But, alas, it is games like this that will be remembered, while those games which get all the big GOTY awards (shallow stuff like Oblivion that impresses only with graphics) will be forgotten a few years after release.

In a nutshell, TNO was an evil, evil man, and he made a deal with Ravel for immortality so he could spend lifetimes working off the black mark on his soul. Thousands ended up dying in his place and some incarnations were absolute evil. Once the game is at the end, TNO realizes this and accepts his fate - damnation and and conscription into the Blood War. There are hints, though, that eventually - thousands of years from now - he may earn redemption.

Yes, but what may be the cause of him loosing memory might be regret : Won't you want to forget something and try something new when you regret what you have done ? Wasn't the first incarnation regret so strong that it dissocied its mortality from him at the ritual that made him immortal ? Finally, isn't regret the source of his memory to disappear only because the first incarnation *believes* so, and as belief can make the plane, it can make him that way ?

Desperate for answers, but the wrong answers, Ravel left me asking more questions. Then she asked me, *that* question, a question I'd thought obvious, a question I'd longed to be asked. My answer was, indeed, my own. "Nothing", I'd replied. I left the maze with only a name, and plunged into an unfamiliar and unwelcoming labyrinth of portals and planes. After the turmoil of the fortress, and the pain and joy of seeing my companions, I look across at my past in its chaos, and my answer's changed.

Ah, best story ever for a vid game. You probably won't see a game like this again - too unusual for the masses, but you were lucky if you got to play it !

Yeah I've played Baldur's gate I and II and loved them, never tried Arcanum though. I'll check it out. I guess the first one you try always sticks with you though - sort of like you're first MMO.

@Influx27 But since they made the game and came up with the story and characters doesn't that mean what they think a character's personality is, is canon?

(2) that spirit is a corporal entity (the theory of "memory imprinted in flesh" comes to mind). Flashbacks are coming to the Nameless One, although he may be innocent, as the scrap-of-spirit within himself is pure, withiut memory, is deprived of evil. Thus, the body is important as it summons the other scraps of his spirit, diminishing his efforts to transcend his nature.

When someone talks about a tragic story (like Macbeth), this story is what I think of. It surpasses so many others, not only because of its mood and theme, but because of its scale. Even though we play only a small part of it, the story stretches so much further back. And it isnt just the tragic story of The Nameless One, but of all who bear the mark of Torment. In the end, there is no redemption, no release, and no victory, only sacrifice. THAT is the definition of tragedy.

Only Good characters you say? That means Neutral's also can't use it. Not arguing that he's evil. In fact, Neutral Evil probably fits him best alignment-wise, because even if he took no pleasure in it, everything he's ever done is still fundamentally WRONG in every sense of the word. You can't trick a love-sick girl into becoming a Ghost trapped in a void and still be called neutral.

@Maciejka0111 - I belive there is no room for something more... The story of Namless One is ended: you're the unity again as a very powerfull being probably with all your memories, yet you can`t leave the hells - the punishment is unevitable. Such a hero can't be controlled by the player.. If so, I would see a prequel than a sequel.

The answer to the question is either experience or nothing, as the Transcendent One claims. It depends from which point do you look at the question. Experience is the most logical answer. From what you experience during your life, you run into things that can change you. People especially change other people. Nothing is the answer if you go with the claim that if you changed, it means that it was already in your nature to change, thus, nothing can change the nature of a man. PS T is awesome.

Well, regardless of what you've done during your last incarnation, at every turn of the game you learn of one horrific action you commited. You enslaved allies, used your lover as a pawn, eviscerated a companion just in order to hide something in his belly, made of a man a living torch, betrayed everybody, killed, manipulated without remorse. And that presumably for centuries or milleniums. Not even counting your original unspeakable crime. So, the ending was perfectly fitting for me.

Possibly best RPG ever ever created! The plot was so breathtaking, like a real book, i played this game several times over past years and i dont feel like spending time on something useless, it hurts me to say this, but im afraid there wont be anything like PT or BG ever again...

Hey...now thinking about it... TNO, if he merged with TTO, wouldn't that make him an untouchable solider for the blood war?
