Hm... That's pretty interesting because a couple of months ago Ragnar has posted some tidbits about the game on his own blog, and was apparently asked to remove them by Dreamfall PR people.

And forgot to add in the previous posts: great preview!

Why do you think I declared a "gamer's blackout"?

Haha, oh the irony. If it was a couple months ago it may have been that the PR people were trying to schedule information release as a ramp up to the game's ship date.

Yeah, they were Ragnar's christmas/new year treats. Taken down in next to no time, and then the PR people used that very same info on the Dreamfall website several weeks later.

Those were mainly back stories to the world, and general infomation, not spoilers in regards to Dreamfall.

Hm, that was an interesting preview. I admit that I haven't been reading much on Dreamfall as I'm trying not to spoil the story, I'm glad that preview didn't. In fact, it was an intriguing read. One thing that surprises me though is that I'd seen Stark referred to as post-collapse. And yet, it appears there are still three realms. After ...

Spoiler:
Gram'ma April stated at the end of the Longest Journey that the Balance would collapse, I had this feeling that the dream realm would be the first to go down the proverbial poop chute.

It intrigues me that the latter mentioned realm isn't actually mentioned in the preview, only Stark, Arcadia and Winter. I admit, this leaves me confused. Considering the title of the game (Dreamfall), one would think that ...

Spoiler:
The Balance would finally fall, resulting in the glorious chaos as Stark and Arcadia merge back together into one entity, leaving one realm that's a strange combination of both, including perhaps broken aspects of the dream realm.

However, reading the preview I'm worried that that might not happen and if said realm doesn't suffer the aforementioned fate, I will wave a fist angrily at Ragnar before weeping openly, I will!

Though I suspect that it will.

Damn, I hope it will.

No need to spoil the story of the upcoming game but a simple, "Oh, that'll happen." might set my mind at ease. :p
