PerfectChaosZ 07/04/19 12:14:50 AM #75:	Its tragic because its senseless. When the cult kills themselves it is completely needless because its not going to change the outcome of what the clone does or experiences in the least. So its just a needless loss. You would consider the version of the protagonist you play for the first half of the game as equal to the version you play for the second half, and both would be equal to the version in the ARK, all three with the possibility of running around at once. I dont see why there has to be an inherent life or death struggle over the identity. Its not like one must kill the other to claim it, and its not like only the original can delete the copy. By the same token anyone could just come and delete the copy just as well. The two selves will diverge within minutes so of course each one is free to be the version of them they are going forward. The idea of an original is pointless and arbitrary. I like the idea, although SOMA only barely touched on it, of which one do you consider more human and worthy of saving? The original human who is probably horribly mutated, mad, barely alive by the wow or the brain scan. I doubt youd say the original would have precedence in this case even though they are literally the only human in the equation. <cite>PerfectChaosZ posted [p:924221036] in San Junipe...
