Sorry for reviving a semi-dead topic, but I couldn't find a thread better suited for discussion of the last game in the Yahzee series.

I played the entire four games in a brief haze that was last afternoon and most of today. It left me with a few questions that shoot off in all directions and don't really go anyplace.


SPOILER alert!!!!! !!!!!! !!!






1.Yahtzee, and please feel free to ignore, belittle, and otherwise express your disdain for this question if you like, but are you by any chance an H.P. Lovecraft fan? The games have a lot of Lovecraft hallmarks. Weird godlike beings from other dimensions with unpronouncable names, odd cults devoted to said beings engaging in self destructive behavior to bring being into our world, an occult explanation for events that can at first glance be explained rationally and then later not. I half expected to see a copy of the Necronomicon in 6 days a sacrifice.

2.In 6 days a sacrifice, Acolyte Gariott, (you know, the guy who chucks you down the elevator shaft) is the name supposed to be a reference of some sort to Richard Gariott, the real life name of Lord British and the major drive behind the Ultima series of CRPGs?

3. Actually, I don't understand what Czho was up to in the last game. I thought, right up until Red Robe says otherwise, that the point of destroying the house was to make a bridge that he can cross over on. And then he pulls DaCabe into his universe to be the New Prince. (By the way, is DaCabe supposed to become DeFoe somehow? The names sound similar, and at the end, you have the machete, mask, and leather apron getup that is associated with John DeFoe.) why him, why then, why replace the Tall Man? I know he is also the Arrogant one, the gallic druid guy (Can you believe it? I finished Trilby's notes *TODAY* and I already forgot his real name) and royally pissed of Czho by summoning him, but he seemed to be doing a pretty good job of being Czho's avatar for the past 2000 years. Why get rid of him?

There might be a few more of these when my brain digests everything I've played through about now.
