Talk:Plot Cuts in Ultima VIII

Stratos's hissy fit
Did Stratos really yank the power of the Theurgists? I always thought it was a matter of the power being lost directly caused by the Avatar stealing the artifact. If that's true, then much of that paragraph will have to be removed, since Lithos will not have been alone in his inaction. AngusM 18:11, May 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * And even if that's ok, Pyros and Hydros are described as "punishing" Pagan for being freed. Who punishes anyone for being given freedom? So exactly what caused these punishments? Was it the theft of the artifacts, or the freedom of the Titans (which I don't think could apply to Lithos)? AngusM 18:51, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've always seen it the same way you did, isn't that how Stellos describes it anyway? --Warder Dragon 19:53, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * I see the banner's been removed, although the paragraph has experience minimal change. I'm going to change that paragraph to reflect the fact that neither Lithos nor Stratos moved again the Pagans. AngusM 19:34, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

Elerion
This seems an awfully big stretch, even if it is labelled as speculation. It sounds like one editor's opinion, unless there's more information available than what the section states. If that's the case, it should be included. AngusM 18:43, May 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * The haunted grove was most likely cut, but I doubt that it had anything to do with Elerion. This is pure speculation. --Warder Dragon 19:55, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

The Skull of Quakes
I feel much the same way about this as Elerion. It seems a big deal is being made of these letters, and Skull of Quakes describes the Recall Pad as being more important than this article describes. I haven't seen the letters, however, and I don't know what these features of the Skull are that require trial and error to discover. AngusM 18:47, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
