I love the idea that the mythological hero Ahti Saarelainen one day retires from seafaring adventure and spends his days cleaning up in an eldritch location.
Who knows. Maybe he became Eldritch himself? Ahti (at least in Control) is really not explored much. A great character but shrouded in constant shadow and mystery. So it very well might be. Who the fuck knows. When he talks about wanting to go on vacation he does talk about a beach and how he likes the sounds of the sea...
I specifically want Remedy to not expose his past. Mystery is what keeps the lore interesting. On a tangential note, this is why I will never forgive Chris fucking Chibnall for retconning The Doctor's origins in Doctor Who's later seasons.
I don't care about retconning as long as its done well. Chibnall proceeded to go to Doctor Who and make a mess and a mockery of everything, turning the Doctor into a joke as well as their past, squandering the only female Doctor we've had and giving her endlessly shit material for her to waste her talent on.
Fuck him.
Fuck the people who hired him. Chibnall was a known quantity.
Ahti shows up in Alan Wake 2, too.
Might want to add a spoiler tag to that, dude.
Hows that a spoiler?
What happens to Ahti and where he might go are pretty damn spoilery given his discussions in Control and things said in the other game in question.
Thought that was kind of obvious.
And none of that was spoilered. Stating that a character is in a movie or a game is not a spoiler. Dumbledore being a part of a harry potter movie is not a spoiler.
Your comparison doesn't work. Harry Potter movies are all called Harry Potter movies. The game mentioned in question has a completely different name and is not categorically stated to be in the same world on its own. Having the character in both is a spoiler.
You're just arguing in bad faith. I'm going to block you now and go back to not knowing you exist, a state of being that is far more enjoyable. Goodbye.
You would expect him to be in Harry Potter, you wouldn't expect him to be in an entirely different franchise.
"DO YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FUCK A STRANGER IN THE ASS?" Dumbledore asked calmly.
Control and alan wake are the same universe?!?! Has nobody played the game?
A game's universe and franchise are 2 different things. Just because a character in one game exists in the same universe as a different game that doesn't mean they'll automatically appear in the story of that other game. Technically Leverage is in the same universe as Stargate SG1, but I would still be pretty shocked to see Tealc show up in an episode of Leverage and would consider telling people about it happening to be a spoiler.
Control literally has an alan wake dlc... Are y'all delusional?
A spoiler would be me telling people that the baby dies at the end.
But me telling people "oh yeah ahti is also in alan wake 2" with no context whatsoever is not a spoiler.
And if you'd gone around telling people that Alan Wake is in Control before they played it back when the dlc first came out that would have been a spoiler too. It's debatable now because of the age of the game/dlc, but atm Alan Wake 2 is still new and lots of people haven't played it yet. This isn't rocket science my guy idk why it's so hard for you to understand. Ahti showing up in Alan wake isn't a given just because they exist in the same universe, because he's originally from a different story and didn't even interact with the Alan Wake stuff from the Control dlc. Since you wouldn't automatically expect him to be in the AW2 story he wasn't originally a part of, saying he's in the game is in fact a spoiler. Not a big spoiler sure, but still a spoiler, and some people want to avoid even small spoilers, so tagging for them is good manners.
Oh wow I love Control and had no idea about this mythology. Didn't even think to look more into him. Just figured he was the wise old janitor that knew more and was more important than he let on
Unfortunately much of Finnish mythology comes from a single source, the Kalevala by Elias Lönnrot, which was written long after christian missionaries polluted the folklore. It's an interesting mythology, and very distinct from the surrounding Germanic faiths.
The Canine Kalevela is a fun way to read it to kids. Really fun illustrations.
My headcanon is that he's the owner bound to the Oldest House.
I wonder if the Astral Plane charges property tax?
