User blog:Toby Aitchison/My Theory: Linking the Fire.

so, as the first game shows, the aim is to kindle the first flame. so why are we doing it again in the second? my theory is that, as each of the old ones in the first took a flame for themselves, it makes sense that they'd find different places for them to keep their flame safe. this would explain why we need to go to a different land to do the same thing as in the first.

evidence to back up my theory can be seen by the fact that the player goes to "a land far to the west" while the first game was set in a "land far to the north". the difference in location  supports my theory that the flame was split.

more evidence can be seen by the change in termanology, in the first, the act was known as "kindleing the first flame" while in the second it's called "linking". this leads me to beleive that not only was the flame split, but it was weakened by the act. hence why the player must "link" the flame. this supports my theory.

all the evidence points to the eventual release of, perhaps, two more games. one in the south and one in the east; that would mean that there was one for each old one and my bet is that the first (north) was gwyn's flame, that explains why he went to re-kindle "his" flame.

to conclude, the player must link the fires to boost their strength as to break the curse. the circle must be compleated and so, there will proberbly be two more games released.
