I don't think FG would center the story around an ''everyman'' protagonist. They are, quite clearly, fans of Lovecraft and all their characters so far have been really Lovecrafty (educated, proper, etc.). Philip was a physics professor and Daniel was an archaeologist.

This doesn't guarantee anything, but just that they're more likely to do these sorts of protagonists.

But they're going to need an incredible reason as to why there aren't any weapons in the game haha.

The protagonists are more among the 'frail intellectual/bourgeois' type. :p This isn't Half-Life, where even a supposedly nerdy scientist is trained in using firearms.

Cuyir, how do you know that the trailer was set in a 'mothership'? I suppose we don't know whether the machines are of human or otherworldly origin, but the impression I got from the scene where that guy gets his brain probed was that we were in some sort of virtual reality.

P.S. Perhaps one enemy will be people with cybernetic brains - the equivalent of Amnesia's Gatherers and Penumbra's zombies.
