	In Response To: Re: It's 3, 3 mints in one! (Godot) : I was just trying to explain : why DA put an Electric Sheep terminal on Ne Cede Malis. They don't : normally appear at the very end on a failed timeline. Without it, however, : the next level would have been a lot more confusing. Man, now I'm imagining how awful it would have been, had they actually given it the full failed-timeline treatment. If NCM had been followed by a small room where nothing happens, and then nonsensical architecture with shadowy enemies, plenty of people would have given up before even reaching Rise Robot Rise. It's fun to think up story-internal reasons for why they did this, but gameplay-wise it's definitely the right choice. Writing-wise, it's a wonderfully concise way to mess with our heads, and get us in that appropriately "shamanistic" mood. Those concerns trump story consistency any day.
