In Response To: Re: Timelines (Godot)

I think a lot of that stuff was actually why I liked it. Coupled with the dream terminals, and the metaphors in levels like Eat the Path, the entire story line felt like an epic poem on the nature of fate and reality.

And now that I'm more familiar with the plot, it makes sense to me that reality itself had fractured, perhaps because of the Wrkncaknter's release (wrong spelling, I'm sure), and the player may or may not have the ability to navigate these branching timelines.

In fact, thinking about it now, the star goes nova at the end of M2, right? But there is supposedly no evidence of the Wrkncacknter. Perhaps that's because of the events of Infinity occurring within the affected space of the L'howon system, in which the chaos is released, splintering time in such a way that it leads to its own containment using the Jjaro station. And the end of M2 follows from the end of Infinity. This has probably all been covered before.

I guess I'm just saying that the lack of sense in Infinity makes sense, from a certain perspective. And is probably what inspired me to take such interest in the story page all those years ago.

: All of the above made it more difficult to understand what was actually
: happen during gameplay and turned a lot of people off Infinity. :(
