Atrus and his relations keep wrecking these Ages, while the Stranger cleans up his mess each time.
The music when Saavedro gets to rejoin the people of Narayan is awesome. There is simply no other word for it.
GalaxyJazzGirl "more better"? Are you serious? And are you stupid, too? This is a family-friendly game. Cursing would NOT have made it better. At all.
An interesting note for those that may not know: Saavedro was not only in Lord od the Rings as Grima Wormtongue and many other movies but he is also very famous for playing "Billy Babbit" in the iconic film "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" which won him an Academy Award nomination. Also in that film were Jack Nicolson, Danny Davito, Christopher Lloyd and the giant and awesome Indigenous actor Will Sampson.
Who better for this role?😊
Thanks for completing the entire Myst series, Sven! The background knowledge and commentary you bring in to these let's plays really enhance my own experience playing them. I wouldn't even think of unsubscribing from this guild!
The bad endings are already available via annotations on this video. I will be adding them to the playlist later.
Thanks for finally letting Saavedro find some solace Sven +_+
I hope that eventually Atrus was able to tell Saavedro the whole story (specifically about Sirrus and Achenar) and that his friendship with the people of Narayan was restored. Also I truly hope his family survived and that he found peace and happiness. I think this was my favorite Myst game so far. I miss your let's plays Sven, I hope you return one day.
im sure they died. he thought they all died but they foudn aa way to stop civil war and save the tree while he was gone :)
I also like how (when the subtitles are off) that a flute plays once the Releeshahn book shows up in the inventory.
Thank you so, so much for this. I picked up the game after many years away from it, and I absolutely could not follow its logic. Looking up online walkthroughs would have ruined the fun -- I really did want to understand how I was supposed to be thinking things through. Very helpful to see someone else do it.
I thought the puzzles were much harder than you did, and it didn't bother me at all that the designers gave themselves a very clever excuse in the idea of the game ages. And then, the story with Saavedro made the whole thing both dramatic and dark. I thought it was pretty brilliant. Riven is still my favorite in the series -- like everyone else, I think. But I think I give Myst III higher marks overall than you do.
I agree completely. I don't think any game comes close to matching Riven aside from Uru personally, but I do think Myst III and Myst IV are excellent as well. It is a shame what happened to Myst V however.
Pay no attention to that plot hole! Also, I believe that's Releeshahn's Descriptive Book. If it is destroyed, no Book will /ever/ link to Releeshahn, including currently existing Linking Books. People would be able to get out, but there would be no way to get in or even send a message to the inhabitants to let them know that their Age was now permanently inaccessible.
I've never played any of the Myst games before, but I had older cousins when I was young that were obsessed with them. Now i understand why. At the time I was a little too young to really grasp the story or the puzzles. I've watched your LPs of Myst and Riven, and now this one. So far Exile has been my favorite, mostly just on the performance of Saavedro as the antagonist. Very compelling.
Sven, you're doing it as great as usually! Thank you so much, I've enjoyed this LP a lot! And the lines "but we'll do that in the next video" and "what the hell??" became a part of my life :D
Thank you Sven!
You forgot one thing Sven: Myst III has an absolutely AMAZING theme. ;)
Sven...you're simply THE BEST!! I just found your walkthroughs this week and am so glad that I could do one after the other instead of having to wait for each episode and then having to wait until you gave us another game. I really hope you had as much fun walking us through as we had traveling with you. I hope you did because it was just pure fun!! Now...on to Revelation!!
Thanks for doing these games. I appreciate the effort you put into making these games come to life.
That is so awesome Sven! Thanks for all your hard work on this.
Maybe there was another way around that overgrown doorway back then? It could be that the small shield was only to block off the passage downstairs, not to block access to the glide ship.
Thanks for the pleasant and informative guidance!!! I played Myst III for the first time...and after finishing Myst VR and Riven, I must say: this is my favourite Myst experience so far. Loved Brad Dourif, the visuals and the amazing music in this one.
Looking forward to hear you again, when I start playing Myst IV...
Love the use of annotations to link to the different endings. Awesome job on the series!
Excellent LP. Man I'm going to miss the myst games. thank you!
Thank you for all the Myst Let's Plays, Sven. I enjoyed every single video and your commentary, and look forward to whatever you decide to do in the future.
Just watched all the bad endings. Dude seriously, the thought and effort you put into your Let's Plays can't be matched!
Big thanks to you!
And another wonderful let's play wraps up, this time marking the end of a series for this channel. Though it makes me kinda sad I'm happily looking forward to your next project. I can't thank you enough for covering the Myst games the way you did. It shows that you really love them, like many of us do. Rambling off.
Riven was my first LP because it's my favourite game (I had no notion I'd keep going this long back then). Then I did Uru because Shady was doing Myst 3 and Nora requested Uru. Then Myst V because it follows Uru. Then Myst IV because it was the only one left that Shady hadn't done. :)
I think you did an excellent job of guiding us through the game(s), without egregiously giving anything away. The fact that you were thinking aloud and asking yourself good questions models for all gamers what you need to do to be effective problem/puzzle solvers.
Very clever way to show all the endings. Thanks for another fantastic let's play.
I agree on the "Free pass" the lesson ages serves the writers - but for what they have, they do it well.
Thanks Sven! You are the best Lets player for me. Never watched Uru but all the other Myst Let´s plays. Love the ending in Myst 3. I am sad this is the last Myst LP I will watch. But hey, you got me through pneumonia, all the coughing, pain and high fever with Myst 3 Exile. Made me forget about it for awhile with your patient exploration of these fantastic ages. So I will also take that which is good from the past and hopefully move on to build a brighter future. Wish you all the best.
+Valikyrie we still may have obduction
you may have shown all possible bad endings, however, there is one other bad ending that you missed. it's a little tricky to do, but as long as you don't set your sights on Saavedro's grieving and focus on changing the levers, then head back up to the power switch, you activate another bad ending. so all your bad endings "have not yet been written."
benaniman1 what?
Basically, you do everything to get the good ending, except you don't get Raleeshan back from Saavedro.
AWESOME Let's Play Sven....really well done! I'm gonna have to rewatch this video to check out the links you placed in the video. Its great to final have the series complete!
Well done. Really enjoyed your narration.
Ultimate Like!!! This was excellent, both this final episode and all the episodes of the series. Very entertaining, informative and awesome. Looking forward to whatever other puzzle games (or just games in general) you decide to play. (If I may make a suggestion, the game called Neverhood seems like it would be quite fitting considering what you have done so far). So yes, great job, very cool!
Thanks for the LP! I liked how you gave reasoning for how to choose what to do to get that ending.
Thank you Sven for finally finishing the Myst series. Nothing against Shadys LP, I enjoyed it thoroughly, but it's great to be able to go from Myst to End of Ages with one consistent style. Even though I've played all the Myst games multiple times watching your LPs has always been fun. Keep up the good work.
Duuuude I'm so happy that Saavedro didn't have to stay locked up like that.
Another Great LP Sven.
I would love to see the leisure suit larry series ;-) maybe u thought about it too :D
16:45 I always wondered if Dourif gets paid by the "No!". 🙂
I had to rewind to watch Saavedro's "No, no, no"-part several times. It sent such magnificent shivers of despair down my spine.
I always wonder how both Sirius and Achenar got to Narayan, since the shield puzzle in its current state requires two people...with one remaining behind...to solve.
Maybe Atreus added that in as a protection after S and A nearly destroyed Narayan?
Sven, the plot suggestion at 7:10 doesn't hold. Saavedro thought we were Atrus, remember. And Atrus obviously knew both the phrases and the Narayan language/symbols. It's either a plot hole in the story development or Saavedro just forgot he left it down there. He certainly didn't seem to think through the many possibilities of the shield. No doubt if you showed him that you picked up the Tomahna book, he would have cursed himself "idiot!" yet again.
Yeah, that would be nice. Oh man, that was the biggest game obsession I had as a kid.
Excellent LP as always, Sven, thank you! And thank you also for the way you included the bad endings. That was a lot of fun! (Though I still feel that the good ending is bittersweet at best. With how crazy Saavedro has become, I can't really see that going very well. Best of all the options, though.)
I agree with your opinions at the end, of course...nothing is better than Riven, but Exile was pretty great.
Like your play through so much. Though I remember there are varies bad or mediocre endings, it would be lovely if you show all the different endings.
You should make one long mega amazing video with all 5 myst 'lets plays' back to back :)
Thanks for doing all of these. Myst is a series that I played growing up, I've still managed to hold onto some of them though sadly I no longer own Exile which is one I have fond memories of. Thankfully I picked up Myst Masterpiece recently and still have all but one of the Riven discs. No longer playable but I have it for sentimental value which is something that game holds all kinds of, for me. I loved watching you play through it again, even if Voltaic was a really crap age in my opinion.
:P
I'm guessing Saavedro wouldn't be much of a fan of Uru Live, huh?
When I first played, I thought turning off the shields was wrong. Then I turned them back on, realized THAT was the mistake, and then I ran out of the room screaming "I'm a bad player!" and I didn't even see Saavedro's hammer part. It took me years to try again. (I was young at the time)
This performance used to make me insane. That fuckin boy soprano track too
how sad that this is the last Myst-series Let's Play, but you're going out on a high, Sven, this is very clever. I had to try out all the options; but maybe naming the embedded videos as "bad endings" was a bit of a spoiler for those who didn't know what was going to happen?
Thank you for your Myst LP's Sven. They were the main reason why I initially subscribed to your channel a couple of years ago. Of course I will remain subscribed now that your Myst LP's are over because I like your other LP's as well.
Any idea what your next let's play will be about?
What I don't get is why Atrus had the descriptive book under that glass instead of in a more secure location, and only a linking book for general use. Because changing a descriptive book after linking to it is bad form, so you might as well put it in a very secure location. A little fuzzy thinking on Atrus's part there.
Remember what Saavedro said at the top of the building? Links are doors that do NOT close behind you. He also hinted that if you leave without helping him, he will kill you. He placed the book here knowing you can get it. After all, he did have access to this area as he had already solved the access to the inner shield.
Though, if you use the linking book without freeing him and the inner shield active, he can't actually kill you. Though, that is a bit of a dick move.
When I played this-back in 2003, I think-it first occurred to restore both shields. However, as would likely happen had it been real, I feared he would angrily pursue me if he saw me ascend the stairs. Hence, I instead chose to trust him, making the aforesaid my second choice.
There no more Myst games, no more Mass Effect games... But we still can rewach them (or wach uru). Thank you, Sven.
Any thoughts about doing the Submachine series by Mateusz Skutnik?
Still waiting, Sven :)
Hey Sven have you even considered doing Lighthouse: The Dark Being for a lets play? Its a decently old game done by Sierra and I always found it super fun.
Was it intentional that you said "New Tree" at 14:25? Knowing that that's what D'Ni means?
I already did Myst IV long ago.
I really enjoyed the Choose Your Own Adventure style you did here with the bad endings. As I'm sure you know you missed a few miscellaneous ones, but nailed everything important.
Question though: How did Sirrus and Achenar both make it to the Tree, assuming that one would have to stay behind to drop the outer shield?
crazy twist on that bad ending nice link lol
Shivers please? would really like your input... are you scared Sven?
Really love this one, the acting from Savvedro is just brilliant in my opinion. Now that this series is done what do you have planned next? :) Also do you think there will ever be a new myst game?
Will you be adding the bad endings like you did for Riven?
Who needs sequential order releases when you've got a voice like Sven? It speaks for itself *rimshot*
27:01 Perhaps the ending has not yet been written...
I wonder whose decision it was to add Yeesha to the game, did Presto studios do that themselves, or did cyan tell them to do it? I mean, Myst III is before any cyan myst/uru game with her in it so presto might of done it themselves and cyan and ubisoft used her quite significantly in their games. However, cyan might of made them do it as they had already planned it so wanted to make the story line flow better as she was to become more significant in later games. Just curious as all.
Brilliant LP Sven, but the question is... Where will you take us next?
Having grown up with Myst and Riven, but not so much the rest of the series, I have to say this one does actually impress me and hold up quite well. That uncertain-navigation-clicking thing is a big problem, but I do really like the story. It's true the ages are a bit arbitrary, so if verisimilitude is your deal then Riven is definitely stronger on that front, and I can respect that. And I am quite fond of Riven, too.
But, thinking back to the first Myst, which wasn't nearly as realistic and was often full of random, almost cartoonish things (...probably since the developers were coming off of works like "The Manhole"), I think this game is more like the first, and I don't really mind that. And to Myst III's credit it is full of memorable visuals in it's training worlds, and cute creatures, so while they are not believable worlds, they do have memorable fantastical qualities, so I think that helps it.
All three of the first Myst games have been excellent up to this point. Now to find out what the others are like. I hope this isn't a "You've had the best, now try the rest" moment for me... Ah, well, your commentaries have been so good that they'll probably enrich the other games whether they're good or not. (I'm also curious to try some of your non-Myst LPs, as it's been five years since any of these.)
Re: how both Sirrus and Achenar could get past the barrier into Narayan:
I think originally, that wood door was closed and locked from the outside. When the boys came, they solved the first 3 patterns, turned off the small shield, then got the clues to finish the 4th pattern. On their way back in they unlocked and opened the door. Then they flipped the switch to open the large barrier, went thru the door and left. The door stayed open and vines grew and blocked the doorway.
-Or so I think ;)
Does anyone know what happened to shady?
Why would I unsubscribe? Now I have to watch them all again. I love Myst, even if they get a bit convoluted with all the changes they made to the properties of the books.
05:55 A linking book to Romania! ;o
Are you going to do the bad endings to the game?
Do you still play URU live?
I think this is my favorite Myst game if only for the background music and the fact that the guy playing Saavedro is a REALLY good actor, I mean I've seen this actor do a terrible job in the past but he did well in this game. And the background music, it really sets the tone extremely well. Just my opinion, doesn't really matter I guess. :)
What's next Sven?
+1wngdngl I think the game assume the Stranger, if using the Tomahna book, wouldn't have had that foresight. Either way, Rehleeshahn hasn't been rescued, so it's still a bad ending. And even if Rehleeshahn had a Tomahna book, Atrus would lose all his hard work on the age.
Hmm, that's strange. I had no success trying to capture Myst III: Exile with Fraps. I ended up using the latest development version of Taksi, which worked but is also quite glitchy due to the fact it was left unfinished and untested, and presumably will not have a stable release because it was last modified in 2006.
I am really sad that you didn't look around the part of Narayan you could reach after opening the outer shield again. And also you didn't point out that the whole age turned red afterwards. Except of that, your LP was fantastic. Could you comment the bad endings too?
Hmm....It seems that if the stranger didn't want Saavedro to follow them to Tomahna, then they could link through while holding the book over the edge of the platform, so Saavedro couldn't get at it.
I also wonder why losing the Rehleeshahn book means that Atrus can never go there again. Didn't he leave any Tomahna books in Rehleeshahn when he was last there? Won't one of the D'ni come looking to Tomahna looking for him, eventually?
I think the multiple endings to this game are very satisfying
*** oops meant to say Brad Dourif who plays Saavedro :o)
Whats really mind blown is how did Saavedro make that really large deep hole in the J'nanin-Amateria Link Out point
Now that your journeys into Myst are complete, will I unsubscribe?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, No.
Thanks Sven. I eagerly await the next adventure....
Excuse me, Saavedro, but may I ask you a question? Sven said he won't be doing any more Myst let's-plays - should I unsubscribe? What are your thoughts?
"No! NO NO NO NO NO! NOOOOOO!"
...thank you - I will certainly take your input into consideration.
Wow, this is my second least favourite myst game and I didn't really know why this is the case, but you've just explained that to me, thanks :D
Now with Myst series over I might have to finish watching your Mass Effect series off. I watched Farfromsubtles playthroughs of those before this and maybe after that finish watching your Space Quest LPs
He set us all up?? I'll agree with that. And I wouldn't want to discover his family. I would think they as just as messed up as he is. But not discovering the final age is disappointing anyway.
Thanks for the annotation links. It's an elegant way of doing the bad endings.
But unsubscribe? From Your channel, Sven? I put these two things in separate sentences because they would make no sense together in one sentence.
There is no disc 5 in Myst 3. There's only 4 discs.
Hey how about the 7th Guest
Ooh, ooh, Planescape Torment!
I'm missing disc 5. I'm willing to bet that time wasn't kind to at least one other though, it's a bit old at this point needless to say.
Voltaic looks kinda nice and the concept is interesting but they just never really did anything with it. Really a shame, when you stack it up side-by-side with Amateria.
Thank you for this. Played this game back in the day when it was new. I must admit I had to cheat at the end with the tapestries.
And he bashed my head in a couple of times :) before I did the end you did.
14:00. Cue the Emperor
I'd wished they made more myst games ;(
He's got a big hammer... :P
Saavedro:Do it!
*Aphrodite's Child starts playing.*
