RE: Daniel and Phillip

I would say that Daniel goes through the greater Journey. For starter's, Phillip has no real purpose to be in greenland, apart from his own curiosity, while Daniel had a set purpose going to brenenburg. I feel Phillip isn't as connected to the world as Daniel.

Daniel has to go through finding out he's a murderer, and has been an evil man. Phillip isn't tortured emotionally like this. Sure, he accidently kills Amabel, but he's able to blame it on Clarance.

I feel things like the glowstick also make things easier for Phillip. Even if his torch run's out, he still has his trusty glowstick to fall back on. Daniel, on the other hand, is in serious trouble if his lantern runs out.

While phillip's imidiate threads were more Dangerous then Daniels (The spiders were real bastards), you have to remember that Daniel has the shadow to deal with, and if he move's to slowly, the shadow will kill him.

I would also argue that Brenenburg is the scarier place. Sure, there is horrible monsters around, and dark cave, I can't recall anything truly horrifying, such as the morgue. Maybe it's just me, but I found the computers and the modern enviroment reasurring.

I will say that Phillip's ending was more important for humanity as a whole, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, I wish it had a final confrontation with your enemy, like in Amnesia.

I loved Penumbra, don't get me wrong, but I feel that amnesia was the scarier and more epic of the games.
