Have fun!

Geralt of Rivia being sent to clean up the Kain's castle that popped up somewhere on the border between Cyrodiil, Morrowind and Skyrim with the aid of a weird flask that refills at even weirder bonfires. It would explain all of the magic, monsters, and vampires with a bit of a circular logic that would keep infinitely creating and filling plot holes like a fractal. It seems like games with poor world building and small-scope small-impact plot would be easier to seamlessly frankenstein into a patchwork, since they would have less details to conflict. But if putting all the games on 2 maps proves to be too difficult, just use Aperture Science as a subcontractor and let them outsource the problem by introducing multiverses.

2024-06-10 02:33:29 +0000 UTCI'd imagine Yahtzee knows, but Albion is the old Latin name for England/Britain, the name coming from the white cliffs that are seen when sailing to it from the south.

2024-06-09 13:25:34 +0000 UTCYou’re pretty much right about Noah’s Ark, there’s strong geological evidence that the Black Sea’s water level raised significantly around 8000 years ago causing some flooding. It also explains why the only religions from the time that have stories involving catastrophic floods are Mesopotamian, such as Judaism, Zoroastrianism, and the epic of Gilgamesh

2024-06-06 21:47:50 +0000 UTCI would love to see one of Nico Bellic’s elaborate heists get broken up when Spider-Man swings in.

2024-06-06 20:11:42 +0000 UTCHow would Mario Odyssey square with both being a world tour of fantastic realms while featuring a relatively normal contemporary city level?

2024-06-06 19:02:20 +0000 UTCIf the characters in Horace, Dishonored, and We Happy Few are all descended from the citizens in Molyneux’s Albion that may explain some of their decision making processes

2024-06-06 15:50:31 +0000 UTCThere's a more elegant solution to the "Niak" problem: 1. Replace the literary "Dracula" in the first game with "Alucard", who is now the canonical game vampire. 2. Now the hero of Symphony of the Night is "Alucard" backwards, which happens to be "Dracula". Done.
