Legit, when I did this storyline, I was like "wow, this is better than almost everything else, if not everything". Single-handedly proves there's hope for AQW. Bless the new lead writer.

To me, this storyline marks the revitalization of the game as I saw several dozen of my old friends from our server starting to play the game again. I haven't touched AQW in 10 years and even I started playing it yesterday. We're so back baby

As a veteran player (since the 10th chaos lord and even played the original AQ during its early eras) i genuinely thank you for the recap/breakdown of one of my favorite storyline by far in AQW next to Shadowflame War, i wish you'd make more of these for other Artix games (or even only in AQW) as some of them is simply entertaining while other is pretty incredible in its writing.

I am subscribing in hopes that I get to watch more videos outlining ALL of the AQW stories. I haven't been able to find a place that goes over each story in detail, and to be able to have it described by someone else really helps to understand all of the lore. Great job, keep it up. I look forward to more videos of this type.

THANK YOU!! i'm ngl, i skipped like, 99.99% of the game's tory and now i'm regretting it, especially for Darkon's sag, the drip was soo good and the art was so different from the regular sagas . I was hoping there was a lore story for this but couldn't find anything about it on YTj, so thank you for finally making this!

The Darkon sotryline is probably the only one that transcends the AQW game and is an actually good piece of literature.
@kaihang46853 ай бұрын
Wow, great analysis to supplement what I thought I already knew about the saga! My favourite bit is realising that each of The Scale represents social groups previously, or still discriminated against by society and being enticed to remake a world without discrimination by force. 23:51 I bet my 15 year-old account that it was Komm Susser Tod that he listened to. What we know of Darkon's thoughts aligns perfectly with its lyrics as well as the instruments and feel of The World's music score.

And now...SMH BRING THE ARCANA INVOKER LORE INTO THIS. Arcana Invoker changed the whole story's eldritch horror to a cosmic tragedy of many sides for me: Darkon & Fa who lost their lover Suki who lost everything including herself for love Ti, Re and La who were divided between those they loved (Darkon, The Scale, and Us) Song, Mi and Fa who lost their loved ones, their family, and are now both wounded and cherished by the Dragon & Arcana who caused it. Drago who cant feel love for anything but himself The Dragon who's too late to find and safe love. Now not the hero, not the man, but always only called "they" unable to escape their divine duty, which puts them at odds with those they love. The Star who's alien to love and being loved, who's fondness is mutating but genuine. Now drowning in loss a primordial can feel, abandoning any future connection it may gain with mortals to ensure this newer happens again, in memory of their dear one. Only to end their desolation through bonding with that which shattered them to begin with. Two true outsiders ensuring that neither Dragon nor Star are ever truly alone.
