Dreamfall: The Longest Journey: Difference between revisions

Line 9:

* [[108]]: Only one copy of {{spoiler|Roper Klack's}} book remains because when the reader reaches page 108 ''they explode''. The last remaining copy has been de-enchanted though, and is safe to read.

* {{spoiler|[[The Bad Guys Win]]: While Zoë is able to stop Faith from inadvertantly destroying Stark, she fails to stop the launch of the Dreamer console. Back in Arcadia, the resistance suffers a crushing blow, leaving no one able to stop the Azadi's mysterious plans}}.

* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: In [[Real Life]] Morocco, just over 99 percent of the population is Arab-Berber, about 90 percent speak Moroccan Arabic and/or a Berber language, and nearly everyone is Muslim. Zoe Castillo is from Casablanca but has a European surname and speaks with a British accent (and drinks wine, has premarital sex, and celebrates Christmas). There are a few people walking around in normal Moroccan/Muslim outfits but they're set dressing, you mostly can't even talk to them. Also, for some reason most important people in the Japanese corporation you visit are white. You could argue that it has something to do with it being set in the future, [[Least Common Skin Tone|but why does the future have to be increasingly more white?]]

* [[Call Back]]: ''Dreamfall'' is full of these.

* [[Cliff Hanger]]: The ending.

⚫

* [[In the Future We Still Have Roombas]]: One level has Zoe sneaking into a corporate headquarters by following cleaning bots through passages that open for them.

* [[Its Pronounced Tropay|It's Pronounced Tro-PAY]]: The deity of the Azadi Empire is the God''ess'', emphasis on the second syllable.

⚫

* [[Knight Templar]]: The Azadi, who seek to {{spoiler|destroy the world in order to "cleanse it".}}

* [[Mega Corp]]: Lots of them in Stark, e.g. WATIcorp.

Line 51:

* [[Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo]]

⚫

* [[108]]: Only one copy of {{spoiler|Roper Klack's}} book remains because when the reader reaches page 108 ''they explode''. The last remaining copy has been de-enchanted though, and is safe to read.
