Back to Oriath?

I finished Act 4 for the first time on normal yesterday and it got me wondering

But will we every go back to Oriath? I would also like to see Ngamakanui, and Theopolis.

Of course Wraeclast is a giant continent, so maybe there will be more to come.

that's oddly appropriate. And slightly nauseating. Still I'd like to see the Karui Homeland. I didn't find all of the carved monuments detailing what happened, so I'm not entirely sure what happened to Hyrri and the 500 families left behind. I'm guessing they made it.. or got stopped by the "Black Spirit"

I guess the the dialogue every 10 levels echoes what you've already said as my Favorite class put it

Since we kicked Malachai's teeth in, and the thing that was more or less the source of the corruption in Wraeclast is dead (I think).We've effectively saved Wraeclast, and of course it needs to heal.

AFAIK we killed malachai that wanted to get beast power for himself not beast itself, and best is source of the corruption

inb4 act5: malachai wanted to save wraeclast from next cataclysm but stupid exile killed him and now he have to save wraeclast again.

Pro tip: There are TWO Karui lore stones in the Ship Graveyard. That's where the story ends... At least, until you reach A4. =^[.]^=

I'm still 99% sure that this life is an illusion and our exiles will awaken back on the ship where the game becomes a fishing simulator.

In before that's the next top tier supporter pack reward.

Dunno we gone pretty deed into sh$$ in act4. The end was binding of isaac-like. Maybe some unlocks when you complete the game and random artifacts in corrupted zones?

If there will be an act5 I wonder wtf will it be, at4 end was already pretty far, I don't think you can create more "endgame"-ish environnement that would fit the theme of PoE. So A5 by definition would become anti climactic, like A4 has been. To me A4, narration wise is a pile of BS compared to the potency of act3(battle against corruption and evil, with very few "normal" persons still living around) and his epic climax with corpses in tubes, the pretty trapped blond that becomes one of yours and the crazy old scumbag and his crew on the top of the tower + his cryptic final form, then you go through the channel and bam! a random monk douche that trade for toilet paper sheets, a gay dude and his gf and so on... For real.

Tbh this gigantic island/continent and its lore should be modelised through random generation so each map is unique. We have Zana, map devices and everything in the lore to justify it. Ofc with a true ending, PoE would need to expand greatly for that but IMHO if ggg solved desynch, why not. Random generation ISN'T THAT HARD. (tho the game would need some major content buff too) It would solve everything and also make the game look like a true journey through something immense. future of hns anyway! :).

We've already beaten most of Wraeclast's greatest "heroes" We're more of a monster now than the things we've killed. I bet if an exile looked at his reflection he wouldn't recognize himself at all. We killed the closest thing to a god on this continent, what else can stand against us?

Pretty eager to find out in any case.

Piety quite specifically states that the Beast is the source of all thaumaturgy. If you kill the Beast at the end of A4... What's A5 gonna be?

Finding a new skill system? Perhaps based solely on new, gear-socketable jewels? =0[.]o=

If we actually did manage to kill it hypothetically, would the gems, and also the Witch(pre-Wraeclast) lose their powers?

Also I guess that means old bone face might return with "XXX was merely a setback..."
