Okay, so maybe this has been discussed already, but I definately wasn’t around for it.
So why does Lagi croak at the end of PDO? He’s no longer associated with the Heresey program, so he should live past the point of completing his task. Right?
Granted, there’s the baby dragon afterwards… I really wish they explained where that came from. I mean, did it just claw it’s way out of Lagi’s chest, all Aliens-style?
EXTRA BONUS SIDE NOTE:
I was practically freakin’ sobbing during the credits to PDO, until the epilogue. Smilebit just /had/ to kill Lagi off, didn’t they? -_-
Eh, dunno about that one… Lagi looked to be in pretty good shape. If he lived through the dragonmare self-destructing and the fall afterward, I don’t see why he wouldn’t have lived through the Abbad encounter.
It really just seemed more like he was fine… then boom, deactivated.
Perhaps when a dragon completes it’s task, it deactivates and reforms in an infant state, perhaps so that it can evolve in whatever way it’s next mission requires? There’s a thought.
Oh, and I know about the image… Can’t fix it while I’m at work though.
That quote was said by the gold dragon in Sestren. Lagi was pretty old, his appearance was much more like an animal. I doubt normal coolias would live that long so it’s suprising he lasted as long as he did.
Lagi had completed his task at the end of Saga, separating from the Heresy Dragon he became mortal.
Helping Orta was not his task, it was his will, and yes he died from exhaustion and old age propably, not just because of the battle with Abadd but because of the whole journey (including the battles you mentioned he survived)
I wonder how the baby is going to look/morph and if we will ever see the Solo Wing and other loved Dragon forms in future games(without cheats that is)
That reminds me about something I was going to post… What if the heresy dragon is able to somehow ‘download’ data to the baby dragon? eg it could download dragon morphs. data from Lagi perhaps? a couple of the mine games in PDO gave me this idea. I’d have to play them again to ‘re-understand’ what I’m talking about.
He is deactivated at the end of Saga (if I’m not mistaken) because, as he says, the will of the ancients is now with him so perhaps if he wasn’t deactivated he could turn into a new sestren?
Whether that’s the case or not, he was still deactivated tho…
We English speaking fans were bemused when PDO was announced because we all thought Lagi had destroyed himself. Imagine our confusion when we discovered Lagi and the black weren’t the same entity, and that neither were destroyed.
Lord Craymen at the old boards confirmed that “destroyed” was a mistranslation for “deactivated”. It didn’t matter at the time PDS was released anyway, since the trilogy was always meant to end there.
I can only speculate that the black dragon took control of Sestren and shut down all the Towers, then shut down itself. That explains the change in colour to gold.
