In a hypothetical sequel...

[MadarFoxfire]

I kinda think that even if

Spoiler:

Loren hooks up with Elenor or Saren hooks up with Draco or Chambara or whoever or dies, she'd still do her Amazonian duty and have a baby-makin' session with one of the dudes in her harem. Or even if she's dissolved the harem in the name of equality, Amazons culturally have no problem with hooking up with guys they're not in love with for the sake of STRONG BABIES. I can see her being all, "Elenor my dearest, I want an heir, would you go out and look for a dude with good genetics who's okay with a one-night stand with the Queen?" And then the Prince has two mommies. Or just one mommy and a gravestone. Or one mommy and a badass war hero who stops by now and then with her boyfriend the grumpy elf to teach him how to use healing magic.

I'm assuming the Prince'd get healing magic from the same place Saren did. They had a lot of the same genetic stock after all. Heck, if Elenor's the PC, maybe Saren's the babydaddy anyhow. Or if Saren's the PC and just didn't hook up with Loren, maybe she asked him to donate his excellent heroic heritage for old time's sake. Even if they're bucking tradition in one area, there's no reason Amazons would suddenly swap over to what we'd consider a typical nuclear family structure.

tl;dr: Worldbuilding can be pretty darned flexible, and not going with Saren/Loren isn't necessarily a reason not to have a Prince about.

...On the other hand, a Loren with a lover/BFF who offed themselves in her place saving the world would presumably have a much different outlook than one who's a happy badass queen with her honeymuffin at her side.

faerirose: yes I was inspired to do a steampunk game and it could be easily set in Loren's world but I think would have little in common, I mean with so many in-game years passed wouldn't even be fair to call it the "sequel of Loren Amazon Princess", if Loren herself was buried 100 years ago from the starting point of the game! so perhaps would be a different title, with same gameplay and same world but different age.
About Jul, I love grey characters, not necessarily "true good" or "true evil" ones. And yes I should explain how is possible that demons are "accepted" and not shoot-on-sight

MadarFoxfire: yes finding a solution wouldn't be too hard, I get what you mean

Maybe will do a sort of spin-off about Jul which takes place shortly after Loren's storyline ends, and then a steampunk game (or still a fantasy one, depends) based on the world but after some time has passed.

Hum... A prequel seems perfect.

But if was a sequel, perhaps in the beggining of the game, a character X talk to the player and ask a couple of questions. Let's pretend that the character X is a monk, and the monk is giving some history lessons to the player and he says:
"Very well, young Lad/Lady(players choice), lets see if you learned this week lessons. Tell me, who followed Loren in her quest?"
The player chooses between Elenor or Saren
"Well, now tell me, who is the Queen of the Amazons?"
The player chooses between Loren or Karen
"Is the Queen in a relationship?"
The player chooses between Elenor, Saren or say she's single

Spoiler:

"In the battle against the evil forces of Fost, we lost many, but one of them saved us all, tell me who?"
The player chooses between Elenor, Saren, Karen or Loren.

And so and so...
If the player tried something like "Huho! Lets see what happpens if I choose Saren as the character and say

Spoiler:

that Elenor died"

, the monk could say this: "Foolish child, do not waste my time. Try again from the beggining" and the player wouldn't be able to choose both.
In the end, he would ask if the player was sure of his/her answers and the monk would say: "It seems you have learned. Now lets continue the work" (or whatever, this character could not even be the player character, but could be a NPC you meet later).

Now, it would be AMAZING if the monk was Sauzer and "you"(Again, this character could be anyone, not really you, after all, it would be better at least to me to play as Elenor/Saren again) were one of his disciples of truth, at least to know what truth is about...

Jul shippers. Next question?

[Jim1958]

A sequel gets complicated because of Spirited Heart. I didn't realize that they were the same universe so the back stories should match.

Spoiler:

I think the next story should concentrate on uniting the demons (Jul) with the humans and elves. In spirited heart we have the three races co-existing under the rule of a king so somehow demons have to become OK and a monarchy has to be instituted. Assume that after Loren, the Amazons , the Humans and Elves become united and open up cultural and trade relations. They become much stronger but notice that the dwarves have been left out. This relates to my question in the Codex about the genetics involved between the groups. Jul is trying to form her army of demons but is being thwarted by the Goblins (remember Grog) and the Goblins basically reproduce like rabbits. The Goblins are also related genetically to the dwarves, and the dwarves have become jealous of the wealth being created by the Amazon alliance, therefore the Dwarves end up being allied with the Goblins. The Orcs also end up as Goblin allies.

The elves/humans are besieged by the Goblins/Orcs and a dark witch has a vision about a powerful weapon that will save them. The problem is the weapon is in Everburn. Our intrepid heroes travel through enemy territory to arrive in Everburn where Jul is battling the Goblins. In return for helping her she agrees to take them underground in everburn (with the intention of betraying them and taking the weapon). Underground they come upon the spirit of Polos daughter and a huge battle ensues between Polos daughter's spirit and Jul. The end result is that Polo's Daughter's spirit is fused with Jul and the two of them become a new being. Of course the new Jul is the weapon the witch was talking about. Big battles ensue afterwards with the result that the Demons become part of the empire and the Orcs/Goblins/Dwarves are defeated. There are some dwarves who did not go to the darkside however and their story is for the third saga.

Just a thought

Best Regards

Yes that could be a way to do the sequel, so the player decides the starting conditions (without need of keeping savegames).
Jim: that's a good storyline indeed But there might be another explanation as how Jul becomes "good" in the expansion...

If you do a sequel where we become Jul's minion put Breza in it so I can romance her! Also some of those hot vampires! And that studly cyclops from the teaser. I have every ulterior motive!

[jack1974]

Romancing Breza sounds good to me

[jack1974]

So far people seems to prefer a sequel not far away in time, interesting. It would be good for me since I could reuse most art, and maybe add some "bonus" stuff like a sexy version of Rei (less covered armor) and different armor sets / hairstyles for other characters. Also the customization of Saren/Elenor aspect which some people requested.

[Aleema]

(hot goblin of course for maximum player enjoyment

This made my niiiiight.

Spoiler:

Heck, if Elenor's the PC, maybe Saren's the babydaddy anyhow.

I hadn't realized I've considered them mutually exclusive until you said that. If we do a sequel where they're still alive, they have to meet each other.

Now, it would be AMAZING if the monk was Sauzer and "you"(Again, this character could be anyone, not really you, after all, it would be better at least to me to play as Elenor/Saren again) were one of his disciples of truth, at least to know what truth is about...

While I was reading these, I was wonder who the protagonist would be, since it shouldn't be an Amazon slave again for several reasons, but I like your idea. Too bad the Disciples are celibate!

@Jim1958: I love your nickname for Apolimesho so much better than mine. I am stealing it!

@Jack: Ooh. New Rei art? He doesn't need to be half-naked, just FYI. He only needs some skin showing, like his arms or a shirt that's slightly open and then he'll be too hot to handle. It's that easy!

I love the posts here. If there's a sequel, I think it should revolve around the demons being accepted into society. But I adore the prequel idea so much. The thought of Apolimesho being romanceable does break a few things in my brain though, in a 'Back To The Future' kind of way: "Grandpa noooo!"
