Deponia rufus5/7/2023 from the Lower Ascension Station into a stack of needles in the last part of the first game).Īnother major plot hole is Donna's hair colour. As a matter of fact, Rufus also falls several times from extremely high places without hurting himself (e.g. By the way, Argus does the very same thing just a few minutes earlier, when you have him fall down the elevator shaft only for him to come back unscathed. he might have just grabbed onto something which Argus didn't see. How Cletus got back on the ship is another unexplained thing, but it's not so far-fetched. which is silly, because it's the whole basis of "you need to choose just one of us". The instant Rufus jumped, the rotor should have started spinning again, killing the other two. The most blatant one is, like you mentioned, the stuck rotor thing. Regarding all the other things you mentioned: there are definitely several plot holes in the story. leaving things unresolved is still better than giving them an unsatisfying resolution after all, and possibly leaves the gates open for another sequel. The unresolved issues were left there on purpose for the player to imagine or, at least, I read somewhere that Poki said that, but I didn't bother to research and check. In short, having a classical happy ending might have been a worse choice (and Daedalic isn't famous for doing happy endings either). whatever he might say to the contrary, Rufus definitely belongs on Deponia, and I can't imagine him living in Elysium with his personality. And, like Kayeka said, it keeps you thinking about it, which is a good thing.Īlso, I'm not sure that finally landing Rufus on Elysium would have actually worked. It's "different", no doubt, and definitely defies expectations, and it may also be a bit underwhelming but those are not necessarily bad things, at all. But after thinking about it for a few minutes I realised that I actually liked it very much. I had your same reaction at first (though maybe a bit less forceful XD) I wanted more from the ending. It makes me almost want to take back my positive review of the game. yet we never even get to go there, even for the final bits of the game. Yet, after the entire series, we keep getting told about Elysium blah blah blah and Utopia blah blah blah. What complete BS.Īnother thing is that you'd expect to be able to go to Elysium for at least part of the final game, or maybe even go to Utopia, because these two places play an important part in the game. and then after we do all that in the very end we jump from a spaceship and commit suicide. First, we meet this guy and convince him to kill himself (multiple times), then we get a pedophile and have to touch his genitals and make a print of it, then we have to separate a couple and sell a black woman into slavery (the said woman is then called a monkey), then we have to get hung on a skyscraper, and then we have to feed children to a monster. It's almost like the writer of the game went full emo for the final part of the trilogy. but when Rufus jumps down somehow Cletus is still saved, and we don't know what happened to Argus. They said that if one guy leaves the rotor then the other two will die. Not to mention it doesn't even follow its own logic. In addition, how did Cletus end up back on the ship after he already jumped off? To me, it just seems like a deus ex machina, except one that brings you to a bad ending. Cletus is still alive (and maybe Argus as well) and it appears that Elysium still has to either destroy Deponia or land back down. I just finished the game, and what the frick? You just jump off and die?! I mean, I get the idea that the developers wanted to show that Rufus has changed and that he isn't selfish anymore, but what a f*cking trash ending! After 30 hours and 3 games, all you end up doing is jumping down from space and dying? And we don't even know what happens to Elysium and Deponia.
