Myst (series)/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Player Punch]] - The final part of Sirrus' memory sequence on spire. We begin seeing Sirrus raging against his imprisonment, then deciding to escape and discovering he can't get down to where the linking book must be, and deciding maybe if he can get to another of the structures he can see, he might be able to climb down from there. We see Sirrus' working on a way to get across and beginning to wish so much he could show his father what he was achieving. We see him beginning to miss his family, and grow closer, and closer and closer to repentance, making images to remind him of happy times in his youth or thinking about what his family might be thinking or doing. {{spoiler|Then we see him complete his efforts, get below the cloud layer, and discover nothingness below. ...And then we see him snap.}}

** The show of missing his family was an act to ingratiate himself to his mother, since it's all built within the survey of the viewer. His own journal entry reveals his motive.

 

** There's also the moment in Riven where you read one of Gehn's journals. He's crying about his deceased wife, Keta, and unlike the neat and ordered previous pages, the pages on this one are stained with tears. {{spoiler|The worst part is is that you have to trap him before you can learn about this.}}
