Quote: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.
Poor design. Well, ya'now... I never thought that Amnesia is a plot-oriented game. It mostly gameplay + some light background story for the atmosphere.
So, yes, that could be an explanation.
Also, don't use too much "deus ex" expression, especially when it does not fit in the context
Quote:Yes, this topic is about finding 'proofs' or an explanation to the contradiction.
There is No contradiction. The only contradiction in your head. You really want one and - voila! - there is. But just for you.
Quote:You've made it clear that your argument is of the form "just because", "whatever, deal with it". Fine.
When and where? Did I miss sumtin?
Quote:But please allow others with more constructive arguments to comment, and from this point I'll be limiting my responses to those.
It is not like I'm a moderator and about to close the thread, huh.

Quote:- When Agrippa manages to escape, both Alexander and Daniel stay. The Shadow takes them both and goes after the orb (and Agrippa).
Wrong. First, we don't know who dies in 2nd ending. Second, Shadow CAN'T follow to the other side. Third, Shadow has nothing to do with Agrippa, because he -- just liek Weyer -- was mentally strong enough to be an Orb wielder. Only the weakling became a victims of the Guardian.
Quote:- When Daniel foils Alexander's plan, the Shadow gets the orb and leaves.
SENSE. LOGIC. Add some please. You just said it follow the Agrippa to other side but now it suddenly leaves it's target in 3rd ending. LOL.
================
Also, you all missed the fact that Daniel assembles another Orb (to access Orb Chamber). That means another Guardian should follow him.
