i finished the game and i have questions (major spoilers)

[shtaklef]

i just finished dreamfall chapters and i completed all 3 games. i have some questions:-

1) so brian westhouse went to storytime to get the undreaming and after that he became the prophet in marcuria and he told azadi to build the tower and the engine and he told mother utana to get rid of the magicals. he used the engine to get dream energy in marcuaria and he got dream energy from stark by using chang. he did all that so he can enhance the power of undreaming so he can use the spear to destroy magic so he can reunite both worlds so he can go home to stark. did i get this correctly?

what did brian mean when he said magic will enter stark and millions will die but it is for a good cause?

2) lady saya and vamon were used by the prophet and they thought they were doing the work of the goddess. what about the council of the 6 in sadir? in part 2 of the series they sent kian to marcuria so he can fight the rebels and spread the word of the goddess. were they aware of the tower being built and the prophet?

3) in part 1 lady alvane was telling the story of april ryan to guests. in the end when the guests left old crow came out so that made me think that lady alvane is april ryan when april ryan is an old woman. however when april ryan died in end of part 2 i got confused and thought how can that old woman be april ryan if april ryan died. i became even more confused in part 3 when i found out that saga is april ryan reborn and that old woman is saga when she is old

thus april ryan and crow are actually dead. in that special place between worlds april ryan is alive and she has been reincarnated as saga and crow has also been reincarnated because saga picked up the dead body of crow in marcuria and he became reborn when she took him to the special place between worlds. did i get this correctly?

4) in book 5 in dreamfall chapters zoe met april ryan in storytime and she said that she failed april ryan because she couldnt save her and then april said that zoe didnt fail her and she set her free. what did she mean by that?

5) zoe is a dreamer and she can use dreams to change reality. when zoe was in a coma she dreamed of another zoe which came to life in propast. chang wanted to connect zoe to eingana 2 in jiva so she can reshape the world. correct?

Most of it is most likely correct, yes. And for my interpretation concering number 4 I`d say that April meant her ability to be `reborn`, reincarnated. And Zoe kind of made sure that April could be reborn, as Saga. That made the most sense to me. But thats just one way to interpret the given information. A lot from the TLJ universe remains a mystery, and chapters was fine but it certainly didn`t answer all the questions one might have after playing all three. So let`s hope we`ll see more!

1) My impression is that Brian Westhouse went to Storytime just to explore it. He wasn't evil yet then: maybe just too naive. He was attacked and possessed by the Undreaming. Afterwards; yes, you've got it right.

'Millions will die': partly because uncontrolled magic running wild might cause magical disasters. And people suddenly discovering they have magical talents might use them for crime or revenge. I also get the impression that in a world with magic, the ordinary laws of physics stop working reliably: so you might get aircraft randomly falling out of the sky, city power generators stopping working, etc.

Why does he think it's a good thing? Partly becaue he'll get to go home (so the 'good cause' is entirely selfish) or maybe because he thinks that Stark and Arcadia should not be separated forever.

2) I get the impression the Six do know about the Prophet and know in general terms what he's up to in Sadir. One of the Six does travel to Sadir to meet him, after all. However, I think he's been lying to them about exactly what he's doing and what the results will be. They just think he's "ending magic".

3) I think that's right. After April died her spirit remained between the worlds, and Zoe occasionally heard April speaking to her in her head. (For example at the start of Chapter Five when she's in the fake hospital room). When Crow died too, his spirit and April's set off on their "longest journey". I think that means they were both then reborn, as Saga and as Crow Mark II.

Yes, that would mean April's spirit went back in time to be reborn, so Saga was already an adult by the time April died. "It's magic".

4) Zoe assumed she was supposed to "save" April in the physical sense; rescue her, stop her from dying. She failed to do that. What she actually did was save April in the spiritual sense. April at the start of Game 2 was bitter, disillusioned and cynical, and had lost her ability to Shift. Zoe gave April hope again, gave her a purpose in life, and ultimately allowed her to use her powers again. She succeeded in that, which was more important.

5) Yes. Zoe was one of several babies genetically modified by her mother Helena Chang (including Faith from 'Dreamfall' and Hanna in this game), to have the dreaming powers. Her mother released her from the lab as an infant, at her father's request, because Zoe apparently had no powers.

However, in Dreamfall Zoe was able to fall asleep in Stark and create a new body for herself in Arcadia, which was able to interact with people and affect reality there as if she were actually present. Seeing this, her mother kidnapped her at the end of Dreamfall and put her in a coma.

During the first four parts of Chapters, Zoe is actually still in a coma, but she's dreaming she's awake and moving around Stark, and has actually created a dream-body that can affect reality there. When she travels to Arcadia, she's still dreaming that as well. In chapter five she finally wakes up for real.

Her mother wanted to use Zoe's powers (while keeping Zoe herself in a coma) to change reality, yes.
