![]() ![]() On top of that, we have quotes from Ragnar himself saying Cortez plays a major part in the Dreamer cycle. ![]() If he wasn't going to show up in the game, they should never have added that clip to the end of Dreamfall with him helping Westhouse. The lack of Cortez really really bothers me. I can't imagine how Ragnar must feel about that, knowing his story may never be fully told the way he hoped it would. Cortez' involvement, where April and Crow went off to in that space between seen in Book 5, where Brian, Helena, and the Undreaming vanished to (though it does seem like the First Dreamer (that child Zoe was supposed to save) and the Undreaming are two sides of the same coin, now existing in some kind of acceptable union, just like the Balance itself implies). When it comes to the Dragons, and the overall affect that April is supposed to have on these worlds, there's simply far too much left open and untouched. she aids Zoe and Kian much in the same way that Cortez aids Brian.Īs a final note for Cortez, I find it absolutely insane that Red Thread/Ragnar decided NOT to include something about him here, especially considering they seem to believe there will likely NOT be a Longest Journey Home title (even though they STRONGLY hinted at it during the events of Book 5). She knows what is written, she knows time is somehow cyclical. Considering Cortez is one of the only, if not the only, characters to mention that time is a circle of sorts (something we see strongly with Saga, who is somehow born within the House Between Worlds, aging over who knows how many decades, helping Zoe and Kian well after April Ryan has died, yet still returning to the house in order to help April during the events of The Longest Journey), it's possible that Cortez is familiar with or connected to the knowledge that Saga gains between Books 4 and 5. Ragnar Tornquist has stated before that Cortez/The Red Dragon is important to the entirety of The Longest Journey, and specifically the Dreamer arc as well (note the red dragon visuals in parts of WATIcorp HQ, I believe in the original Dreamfall). given the status of the rest of Arcadia thanks to the Azadi occupation, there's no telling how much their influence could have spread to the ocean itself. As for the Blue, he seems to still be asleep on the ocean floor. I still recall being somewhat confused as to exactly what happened as they fought. Or, ran off to fight in some other location. Or, at least, injured each other enough to put themselves to sleep. As casualsailor pointed out, it's likely that Cortez/McAllen killed one another at the end of The Longest Journey.
