The nature of the game means there is only truly one running around - defined by the player's viewpoint. "You" are consistently defined from the beginning to the end as the one that you control. And that's the point of the cult. Wherever your perspective ends up, that is "you" by default. So if you give your perspective only one place to go, it's totally unambiguous. The character himself has a bunch of clones and it gets messy yeah, which is why I think they really messed up at the very end when they switched back from the fantasy view to the underwater view. They made the split timelines explicit there for the first time (other than the NPCs) instead of letting the player figure out the implications of the clones themselves. PerfectChaosZ posted... The idea of an original is pointless and arbitrary That's what I mean when I say you devalue everything with that philosophy. If the concept of "original" is pointless after the split, then it is also pointless before the split. --- _foolmo_ 2 + 2 = 4 <cite>foolm0r0n posted [p:924223350] in San Junipe...
