Oswald killed the professor and skinned him. RE: Plot Discussion Thread *Spoiler Alert* - Corbent - 09-16-2013 Hmmmm... Manpigs were not the technical limits of the reanimation process. It was a form chosen on purpose. It is stated in a note that he could even reanimate a head without a body. Spoiler below!
So yeah. There is nothing stopping him from reanimating humans intact. But don't forget he considered humans unreliable and hard to work with. He wanted "a new creature for our chattels: loyal, clever, strong, easily sated." So he made a hybrid with those qualities. Pigs alone wouldn't have been useful. This also means that as long as he still had his children heads he could reanimate them. He could even sew some orphan bodies for them in a process similar to the manpig creation.

Well, assuming Manpigs couldn't breed...

That was pretty rude. Disguised cleverly as a polite comment, but still rude. RE: Plot Discussion Thread *Spoiler Alert* - pikmintaro - 09-16-2013 I mentioned this before, when people were grumbling about the Manpigs being humanized too early, but did anybody notice the Pig driving the truck? this is pretty close to the start of the game, I saw this truck drive by, and didn't see the driver at first, so I restarted my save file, and found this. It's probably the earliest place you can see the big Pigs, and it really surprised me to see that, when I was first playing through, I mean seeing the one sleeping on the bed in Mandus's house at the start humanized them quite a bit to me, but seeing one just driving a truck down the street really shocked me for a little while, and also showed their intelligence too. Anyways I love reading all the theories here, but I still am not sure which ones might be correct, I'm hoping that the entire game isn't just in Mandus's head, but if it is then so be it. RE: Plot Discussion Thread *Spoiler Alert* - silentmumbler - 09-16-2013 So am I the only one who thinks the orb isn't inherently evil? I think it revels in chaos, but that's about it. Even the Shadow from TDD didn't really seem all that evil to me. Its mindless indiscriminate killing seemed more like a safety mechanic, like an otherworldly trap rather than an actual entity. Hell, perhaps the Shadow was put in place by an earlier civilization so that nobody would have to face the consequences of using the orb. And yes, I really those two ideas are rather conflicting, but I don't really care. I'm just speculating, and while the idea about the Shadow makes more sense, I feel the orb idea is more true. RE: Plot Discussion Thread *Spoiler Alert* - Kreekakon - 09-16-2013 The shadow is definitely very self-aware, and quite sadistic. In certain areas of TDD, the shadow if it has Daniel cornered it will slow its advance almost as if mocking him. RE: Plot Discussion Thread *Spoiler Alert* - silentmumbler - 09-16-2013 Huh, maybe I should replay TDD and tease the shadow at random.

I doubt that he could reanimate those, considering there is no brain in it. RE: Plot Discussion Thread *Spoiler Alert* - Ghieri - 09-16-2013 Wait a gosh-darn minute.... How is Mandus not marked by the shadow if he touched the orb?(And to some extent, abusing it's power?) Also, how much do we know about the engineer? I can only remember one reference to him, and that's a conversation between the professor and Mandus, where the Engineer is fully on-board and "has seen the evils of society" to heavily paraphrase? I'm assuming he's the guy who designed the machine? |
