It feels like the emails and the actual dialogue for the characters were written at different times and by different people. In fact I wonder if that is true of the mission briefings and dialogue before and after you take story missions. It's as if a set of dialogue was written and put in and in a later pass on the game they added more without realizing that info was already covered? That would explain why some things are repeated so often. Can't remember where exactly, but a couple of times Mama would say something like "I don't know if you know this, but [item A] is used to do [action B]" and I'd think "I do know this- you told it to me not even 2 minutes ago..." Then again when I was tasked with taking that bomb to mountain knot, various NPCs told me like 3 or 4 times "Sam! Don't forget you're carrying a bomb!" to the point that I was rolling my eyes. Then a bit later I was taking a steep hill, stumbled a bit and heard a BEEP BEEP BEEP coming from my backpack and thought "oh yeah, the bomb..." So maybe the redundant instructions are on purpose?

I just thought it was a Japanese thing? Didn't people name themselves after their profession in the not-that-distant past? I know Europeans did farther back- Sam Fisher would have had fisherman ancestors somewhere, Sam Smith, Sam Baker, ect ect...

TASTE THE PAIN!! posted:I just got the official one as a gift and it was sort of disappointing. I assumed the text would be embroidered but it's just printed on and looks pretty cheap. Still love it and all, guess I should have expected it with it being video game merch. I got an unofficial one off Amazon, and the text is embroidered and it looks really great.

Wow, really? Like snow avalanches? I remember seeing rocks tumbling down the hills from time to time but never snow avalanches. I really need to start playing again.

I think your name isn't there because they donated first unfortunately, or donated the most, it's not explained how it works. I feel like translating it more like "I'm Fragile, but I'm not that easily broken" would have been better. I always took it to be referencing her rising above all the bad stuff that's happened to her lately. That city getting nuked, the timefall ect.

Party Boat posted:I like a cover, extra battery and tons of grenade pouches for BT encounters. If I'm heading into new territory I'll generally take a ladder and set of climbing anchors but not more than one of each unless I have good reason. Almost everything else is on a needs basis. The stabiliser does make it impossible to fall over (with some great animations) but it isn't worth the space it takes up for me, keeping your footing is rarely difficult. Wow... exactly the same for me.

Ciaphas posted:- about BBs: so all those elevator flashbacks were Sam's earliest memories, and he was one of the earliest BBs - taken out of the game as a fetus by a bullet, very sad - and was Cliff's target all along. What about BB-28, does that make him(?) a completely separate BB with an unknown (and unexplained) history that just so happened to get to Sam by way of Igor at the start, or is he somehow related to the broader plot? (At first I thought he was Sam too and there was some timey-wimey bullshit afoot) I can answer this one at least- Her, actually. And yes, just a random BB.

Imhotep posted:-"Samantha America Strand, widely known as "Amelie", is the "ka" (soul) of the sixth extinction entity, publicly recognized as the daughter of her counterpart "ha" (body), President Bridget Strand." On point 1 I think that the Bridget / Amelie split happened when she tried to save Sam after shooting him as a BB?

Was a bit frustrating, as I couldn't figure out that you needed to hug Amelie on the beach. I had to google that, and I hate having to do that for story content in games. Overall though, had a great time. I do have a couple questions; the first one isn't really a spoiler, but I'll be extra careful. Second question- Yeah, random BB as far as I know.
