Let's Play: Myst V - part 37 - End of Ages

We give the tablet to the Bahro, and free them of their enslavement.

And thus ends the saga of Myst. But fear not, although Myst V is the last Myst game, it won't be my last Myst LP. My next Myst-related Let's Play will be Myst IV, but that won't be until after the new year. Please be patient. :-)

The total length of this Let's Play is 6 hours, 34 minutes and 21 seconds.

I promised in the beginning I'd share my reasons for believing Dr. Watson is this game's protagonist. Although Cyan deliberately left the protagonist for Myst V vague upon its release, during the revival of Myst Online Uru Live a chat session on September 11th 2007 revealed Dr. Watson to be the protagonist. In this chat session, Dr. Watson says that he gave the tablet back to the Bahro.

This forum post on MOUL's forum quotes the relevant lines of that chat session: http://mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=205526

has anyone realised how old the "stranger" must be by now? its been like 50 yrs since the first myst game...

[Dilandau3000]

@PhantomTimeLord This game is set 200 years after the first Myst game, and the main character in this game isn't the same stranger as in the first four games. According to Cyan, the main character in Myst V is Dr. Watson from the DRC.

ok MAJOR plothole here : why didn't Yeesha simply tell the stranger to drop the tablet???

[Dilandau3000]

@schwarzfalk Because, even though she knows better, she still wants to have the tablet.

"I needed iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! Duck knee needed mEEEEeeeeeee!"

What a whiner XD

Any idea what would happen if you dropped the tablet right next to the Myst book and linked there before a bahro came to pick it up?

not my faviorate ending , too cliche

[WhisperDeeply]

Thank you for these playthroughs! These games are amazing. I'm now reading the novels.

why do storytellers have to be so magical LOL! i can tell it probably took you months to get these games together but it is worth it they work

[Mrgahoolefan]

@schwarzfalk DUH! That would be way too easy.

Another brilliant performance by Dilandau3000! Now to go back and watch the Uru expansions which I purposely missed because I thought the original Uru was the hole i needed to fill...

I must say bravo to you good sir, I have always loved the Myst series and it's one of the single best series ever made. I found your Let's play for Myst 1 and have followed your entire series to this point, though I wish you had done Myst 3 I watched shadyparadox's version. All in all your Let's Plays were amazingly well done, well narrated, and a true joy to watch. Once again bravo to you and thanks.

Did you say a "clean slate"?
