You've killed us both

One of the notes written by Alexander speak of him wanting to return to the other side. Agrippa had never made it through the portal. Only Weyer and apparently Alexander. It's possible(maybe implied by the portrait of cthulhu Alexander) that Alexander originates from the other side of the portal in the first place. He talks of being banished from there.

I failed to see how it's related to the quote you were answering to.

My point was that Alexander may know more about the orbs than Agrippa, and if he does originate from the other side of the portal, then he probably is pretty proficient with them. Maybe that's why he hasn't unleashed a shadow himself.

Yeah. Most of the stuff in amnesia is like that, these are all just possibilities after all. Though I find it fun to try and dissect the small information that we have to figure out what some of the less solid clues could be referring to.

My theory about Merlin sounds more awesum btw
Let's stick with this one.

I do like the Merlin theory, Agrippa said that Weyer should be "the greatest man in history". Perhaps his exploits are so unbelievable that he was passed off as a myth or the legend of Merlin(And possibly many other magical/spiritual figures)?

Based on my earlier assertion of the Shadows behaviour being related to Daniels sense of guilt. The above behaviour would make sense.

Mm.. no?
Guardian was chasing Daniel since the excavation place. His intentions was to destroy Daniel. Sorry, your theory makes no sense at all, because at that moment Daniel had no guilt.

Some of the loading screens seemed to imply that daniel had a lot to feel guilty for in his life, even before he found the orb. Leaving a loved one behind, attacking a friend when they were children. He even seemed impartial to Henry murdering one of his friends in order to get the map in the first place.

Which is what made me think it was related to guilt in the first place. Since the loading screens specifically imply that Daniel has done some bad things in his past.
