[SPOILER] Plot Discussion Thread *Spoiler Alert*

If we assume Mandus' great-uncle is Daniel, would that make the normal ending of TDD the official one? The one where Daniel kills Alexander is the only one where he gets to escape Brennenburg unharmed, and his ambiguous monologue would suggest that he hasn't learned anything from his lesson - he continues to be a self-righteous, blameless coward, willing to shift the responsibility for his evil deeds onto someone else.

Didn't Daniel's sister (he had a sister, right?) died like.. in her teens?

She was really sick, but it is never explicitly said she died. In fact, there is a loading screen that says when Daniel went off to Algeria, she had already lived two years longer than expected.

It all depends on how the player 'played the game'. There's either a loading screen that implied Hazel died, or one that says she lived longer than expected and bid Daniel a safe trip to Algeria.
