You've killed us both

[Renegade_]

Lolwhat. I... need? Srsly, man, I don't need to do anything. You started all this rant, if you want some proofs - go find it.

Deus ex machina. Meaning that if your argument needs to rely on incredible or implausible events (such as Daniel's death was not actually death) then it is a sign of poor design. But like I said, whether he died isn't even important, only that The Shadow (a supposedly consistent universal force) inconsistently came for him across different endings.

Yes, this topic is about finding 'proofs' or an explanation to the contradiction. You've made it clear that your argument is of the form "just because", "whatever, deal with it". Fine.

But please allow others with more constructive arguments to comment, and from this point I'll be limiting my responses to those.

So again, the question:

If The Shadow was in pursuit of Daniel's life, then why did it not take it regardless? If it was only in pursuit of The Orb, or an attempt to use it, then why pursue Daniel at all?
