Unreal (Video Game)/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Some of the translator logs.
    • One particularly poignant example is the story of some of the ISV Kran survivors that unfolds over several levels. In the Sunspire, you find a dead team who were looking for a captured crewmate, Kira Argmanov. One of the dead crewmen appears to be her boyfriend ("I love you Kira, I swear I'll find you."). Later, at Bluff Eversmoking, you find another dead search party (also looking for Kira), which includes Medical Officer Tatiana Zimna (who left you several messages on the ISV Kran). From Krall jailer logs lying about the monastary, you discover that Kira was being held there but the Nali helped her to escape, but in the end you find Kira dead in the bell tower. This makes the story of the Kran's crew something of a Shoot the Shaggy Dog. Oh, and the way the Krall spoke about her in the logs makes you wish every Skaarj, Krall and races alike were dead for real.
    • This is later referenced in the bio of one of Unreal Tournament′s warriors, Luthienne:

"Having survived the Wreck of the ISV-Kran, Luthienne was forced to watch all her friends and crewmates die at the hands of the Skaarj until she and 3 others were rescued two years later. Irreparably scarred by her experience, she has entered the Tournament to confront her inner demons and ultimately to silence them through her own death."
