minespatch Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Something confuses me about the Pinnacle. People seem to overlook this. What is the origin of the house and why haven't we learned much about the BFG's nest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terra_Zina Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I believe this island is meant to take place on a mountaintop, or summit, due to its barren landscape, small size and the fact that you have to go down to get to the normal Hamlet world. Whoever lived here where probably a loner. A nomad or an outcast. Perhaps searching for gems for the queen, or living alone on his on terms, due to a dislike of society. Maybe he lived in the slanty shanty before he moved out, hence it's abandonment and rotten state. Whoever lived here doen't live here anymore, due to the bird coming in and making it its home.

pe5e Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I dont really think there is a story behind the house in its nest. From the looks of it, it seems that the BFB simply collected things from the islands to built his nest on the pinacle hence all the branches and sticks. But it also looks like the BFB acts similar too a magpie or crow and collects shiny objects too which is why we see all those metal objects like the broken lampost and the gemstones. She most likely collected the house and lamp post from a nearby pig city. Who lived in the house (most likely just a regular pig citizen) or if it was a slanty shanter that was abonded cant really be known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunkShark Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 God i wish we could get some expanding on the roc.. that thing is so interesting, for the fact it has eyes in its feet, and 3 types of heads inside its own head. I want to know more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owlrust Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I think BFB kidnapped all the pig children and that's why we don't see them in the villages, and were meant to be fed to her babies; after awhile of this happening, the townsfolk no longer wanted the burden of grief and refused to have any more children. After her babies hatched, leaving behind egg shells filled with gems, the last pig child (I have a theory on this too) was stranded on the Island, trying to make a crude-makeshift town house that is uninhabitable. The last child was perhaps Wilba's sibling, having taken the scepter from their mother only to be punished as a sacrifice to BFB and her own children; otherwise perhaps merely getting captured by the bird, only to starve in the end. Would explain how the scepter got there, but I suppose the BFB taking the scepter as accident for mistaking it as a branch to build a nest with makes sense too.

Reminds me of Fallout 1 and hidden children sprites to not let players see them and kill them (yes, children were just invisible and unaimable, but with blast damage they still could be killed).
