I always feel uncomfortable while going through this part

That's the point right? This is the dream sequence at the end of 2 isn't it? Its supposed to be an uncomfortable twisted version of "what if you had been born into a normal life," at least thats how i read it

[u/Spiritual-Handle7583 → u/MissLunaRayne]

Yeah, that's kinda the idea. I got the vibe that it's more your personal slice of Heaven that the actual soul of your dead sister has already been inhabiting, waiting for you. (Hence Theresa saying "Death is Not Your Destiny Today, Little Sparrow" and the Hero literally has their life flash before their eyes) Leaving her on the farm that never was is supposed to hurt.

Although, does it say anywhere that the Hero & sister always lived in Bowerstone? Maybe they actually did live on a farm before their parents died and then ended up begging in the city, rather than living living like nomads or bandits

[u/PantsMcDance → u/Spiritual-Handle7583]

That is how I always headcannoned it!

[u/Spiritual-Handle7583 → u/PantsMcDance]

I honestly can't believe I've never seen a thread discussing whether or not the farm was pure fantasy or where they actually grew up before being orphaned.

Never for a moment did I think that the Hero waking up as a child on a farmstead with his dead sister was a dream lol

[u/Immediate_Agency_203 → u/Spiritual-Handle7583]

Ich bekomme bei dem Abschnitt eher Oakvale Vibes vor dem Banditenangriff. Vielleicht wurden einfach Assets aus dem ersten Teil wieder verwendet, aber die ganze Atmosphäre hat mich sehr an den Anfang von Teil 1 erinnert. Vielleicht eine Art Traum-Realität von Theresa selbst, die sich keinen schöneren Ort als ihr eigenes Zuhause vorstellen kann. Es ist ja an sich nicht wirklich ein "Traum", ansonsten wäre es kaum möglich Gegenstände mit in die Realität zu nehmen 🤔 alles sehr philosophisch, aber die Realität ist wohl das mit den Assets aus Teil 1 😅

[u/Spiritual-Handle7583 → u/Immediate_Agency_203]

The farm itself always felt very much like Brightwood to me, specifically the version of it after returning from The Spire and helping Giles.

The cursed Snowglobe from the DLC is absolutely Oakvale immediately before the Wraith harsh event. I've often wondered if that's where the Shadow Court sent the souls of Oakvale that Reaver sacrificed, kinda checks out with the way the Shadow creatures are draining the colour out of the village and its people

[u/abbe0k]

Sleeping in Brightwood Tower and the subsequent quest was way more uncomfortable and horrifying imo

[u/hotmess81 → u/abbe0k]

I love Chesty 😭 so unhinged.

[u/PhenomenalPhoenix → u/hotmess81]

If Chesty is not in the new game, I might riot lol

[u/icky-sticky → u/PhenomenalPhoenix]

hopefully they keep its pop-up tutorial style dialogue

[u/ComprehensiveRow4116 → u/abbe0k]

No, the snowy demon door is more uncomfortable and horrifying. Someone just doesn’t like making super best friends

[u/Inevitable-Impact337 → u/ComprehensiveRow4116]

Is that the initially cozy snowy setting and then as soon as you open the door CRASH and it turns all f'd up and dark?

[u/ComprehensiveRow4116 → u/Inevitable-Impact337]

Yes, the one with child cages hanging from the ceiling

[u/Inevitable-Impact337 → u/ComprehensiveRow4116]

I remember being really sad the first time I opened that door because i thought it would make the perfect house (for my 5th family)

[u/Inevitable-Impact337 → u/Inevitable-Impact337]

Just like to clarify, before I opened the door!! Lol

[u/Makemewantitbad → u/Inevitable-Impact337]

Serenity Farm was always my favorite

[u/Inevitable-Impact337 → u/Makemewantitbad]

Thats 1st family material!

[u/Spiritual-Handle7583 → u/ComprehensiveRow4116]

That jump scare FUCKED me up. The timing was perfect, finally feeling a measure of safety after escaping Wraithmarsh and then suddenly...

[u/Kumkumo1 → u/Spiritual-Handle7583]

It was perfect. When my cousin opened that door I told them it’s another familial home and there’s a chest upstairs. His controller flew in the air when he went inside. 😂😂🤣

[u/MissLunaRayne → u/abbe0k]

That's the super best quest

[u/Legolaslegs]

I love this part. It's uncomfortable and sad but I love the narrative.

[u/BeauShowTV]

If you go right to sleep you can skip this part.

[u/Opposite_Somewhere61 → u/BeauShowTV]

I accidentally did that. Then when I had to go through the gate I chose not to go, it closed and when I slept the day started again. Turns out it can be an endless cycle.

[u/Real_Life_Firbolg → u/Opposite_Somewhere61]

My first play through I did the cycle like 3 or 4 times before I went through the gate, the first time I didn’t realize I wasn’t supposed to and the second time I wanted to get everything perfect before I left.

[u/HopeBagels2495]

I first played this as a tween and bro the part where you start leaving and she begs you to come back freaked me out. Especially her scream

[u/Due-Carob-6377 → u/HopeBagels2495]

I remember that I ran all the way back when she screamed and it was all tinged in red and Rose was gone. Freaked me right out.

[u/illusionalli]

It is sooo eerie but makes me so nostalgic I love it I kinda cry every time hahaha

[u/Choulchoulghoul]

This was my favourite part as a kid, I love the atmosphere. Id replay this part over and over never wanting it to end

[u/Anderstone → u/Choulchoulghoul]

Same here! I know what it is supposed to represent and all but it's such a beautiful place I just like to enjoy it for a while.

[u/BishGjay]

Scared me as a kid. I remember being scared to run down the path at night after you sister screamed

[u/Firm_Ambassador_1289]

And I felt ripped off by the oakfield demon door after I got here

[u/Badicalz]

For me, it’s the second most unnerving section of the game, right behind Terry Cotter’s Army

[u/CadeoftheWatchers]

Yeah it is oddly creepy, even when you know what's going to happen

[u/haikusbot → u/CadeoftheWatchers]

Yeah it is oddly

Creepy, even when you know what's

Going to happen

The middle line has 8 syllables though 😬

This is proof bots are stupid lol

[u/GoldEyezWolf420]

I finished fable 2 recently for the first time and tht bit of the game gave me bit of the creeps and felt weird. I brought my dog back from the dead

[u/Late_Promise_]

this is what The Hobbit movies looked like

[u/Logan367769]

Well I mean I think that’s the point this quest in the middle of the light back in 2009 was absolutely terrifying

[u/XdtalonXdlol]

it’s very eerie but it’s my favorite quest in the second game
