What happend to Gabe? (Spoiler?)

We never see what happens to him! Actually, I was slightly disappointed in the post-fight sequence in general, (it was mostly Congratulations: You Won The Game..., seeing as how Tales is more storyline-driven then most video games, I was hoping for a more epilogue type ending. But I digress), but my biggest complaint was that, with Gabe being so mysterious, we never get a conclusion. The Voodoo lady I can understand, that was done on purpose. But Gabe...

It's like hanging a gun in act 1, but not firing it in 2 nor 3,
It's like ending on a V cord without resolving to a I

I'm out of analogies.

Great game though, Telltale! I am completely satisfied with my purchase, am and now a Monkey Island fan for life. That's just the one thing that bugs me.

Thoughts?

    I think there's more that meets the eye with "Gabe" and IF S2 happens, we'll learn about it and the voodoo lady's deal (I got today my ToMI buttons and the "What's she hiding?" button is staring at me right now).
    Also the "What do they know?" button can be still be used for S2 (And the "What's his problem?" can be used in any MI game)

    I'm too a bit unhappy with the "happy ending scene". I would have done it like this:
    Same "ending", but instead of watching the boat float away, it should have fade away and have the scene turned into an "inside the crystal ball" scene and then completely fades away (with the Voodoo Lady's hand passing over the ball) while Morgan appears.
    Credits
    Slightly modified Post Credits scene (there is no need to watch Morgan walk-in)

    If by "same perdon" you mean same person, then, yes, it's possible.

    But it's also possible he's Nor Treblig in disguise.

    Honestly, we do know!

    Oh yeah, sorry. I made a typo. Put PERSON where I put PERDON. Sorry!

    Anyway, I was kidding... or not?...

    Since he lives in Purgatory, he's obviously Jesus. He's just chillin' 'til the end of the world comes, yo.

    My bet is on this one;


    Gabel is Elvis Presley. And Tupac. Also.

    There's a whole thread on it that you should check out, but everyone predicts it will take a few months. You'll know by e-mail.

    I kind of just figured Gabe was an episode-specific character and not really all that important other than to help you around the place, so by the end of the episode he's still chillin' in the crossroads. Unless a possible future game wants to follow up on his story, that's what I assume for now.

    You're all wrong: Gabe is really H.T. Marley in disguise

    XD Where did you get the name "Gabe" from? His name is Galeb.
    And he's probably still wandering the afterlife, looking for his dog that we disintigrated. Poor Franklin.

    I don't know why, his name is a little hard to remember when you first beat the game. I wrote down his name "Caleb" in my first post after beating the game and still too lazy to edit it.

    Ah, that's where Gabel's name comes from! It's an anagram of Legba!

    Yeah, I knew that one. It's funny to think that they might be indecisive about the name being "Galeb" or "Gabel" or something else, but in the end they did put all those names somewhere in the game, somehow.

    I am now satisfied. Still, it would have been nice if there was a point in the game where he came out and said "I AM GELEB, KEEPER OF THE CROSSROADS" instead of an ending where we're going, "heh?"

    Gabebl and Guybrush are the same person. Evidence? No-one can get either of their names right!
