[Spoilers] Nerissa

[a yEti on roids]

Nerissa is Faith...Yes, No, GO!
So at the end Nerissa admits to her sins and it also seems that she was Faith? Is she? Go!

[R ☾]

Yes

[Nemor]

No!

But seriously read though the big thread.

[Darth Invader von Wookiee]

With everything that's happened in the game and various small things, for me it's Faith and hopefully it gets clarified in a new season, I want to know, but I don't want Telltale to make a statement saying it's Nerissa (worst case scenario) since I hate those developments and what they do to the entire story of a game/movie/book, it would lower my final impression of the game to almost abysmal.

[Ja'Crispy]

I'm just gonna copy and past my thoughts I posted somewhere else.

Ok, so I've played through the entire game this weekend, so here's my thoughts in regards to the Faith/Nerissa issue. I think both theories are at least plausible. The Faith dying before episode 1 seems to be the easiest to explain and the easiest one to successfully pull off. But Faith being disguised as Nerissa throughout the whole game would be the better ending in terms of writing/plot twists/etc. And it would tie back to her origin story of her hiding in plain sight to escape.

Faith Dying Before Episode 1:
As I stated before, this is the most plausible/possible ending. The one thing that kinda throws it off for me is how could Nerissa disguised as Faith know that Bigby would go help out Toad? From what I remember, Bigby has a history of issues with Toad, and couple that with his history with the Woodsman. This could be enough of a reason for Nerissa to think this would work to draw Bigby out. And let's say it doesn't, I'm sure she would have just found another way to meet Bigby as Faith and get him interested in her. Hell, he's the sheriff, she could have just found a reason to go to his apartment because she needed the sheriffs help.

Faith Disguised as Nerissa:
I like this ending the best, but it's definitely difficult to pull off without leaving a bunch of plot holes. If Nerissa is really Faith, everything she said in the final scene is probably true, just switch Nerissa and Faiths names. Faith was the one to turn on her friends. And Nerissa and Lilly likely didn't know. So maybe Faith asked Nerissa to cover for her, knowing her life was in danger, and essentially set up Nerissa to be killed in her place. And once that happened, she just assumed Nerissas identity. Which would explain why she couldn't dance like a mermaid when we're introduced to her character.

I'm sure I've missed some points that I meant to make, I typed it in a rush. If I think of them, or if someone points any out I'll add them or respond.

It's the most logical explanation of what happened. Why is that a "worst case scenario"?

[Dean]

No its Bloody Mary, she had the same smile when she talked with the crooked man.

[R ☾]

Bloody Mary liked to work for the Crooked Man, she had no reason to turn the tables over him

If that's the case, then why would Nerrisa disguise herself as Faith? It's Faith's head we stumble upon, not Nerrisa's.

Plz excuse my poor english. I try.

Nerissa could be Faith in episode 1. I dont think Faith is alive. If you see Nerissa the first time you will find stuff on the ground. A note ("Faith, Thanks for covering me tonight... Lily"), some other stuff and you will see Faith little boxes beeing broken. Someone took stuff from Faith to get her glamour. It could be on the ground bc Nerissa was in panic after Faith got killed and she rly tryed to get to Lily fast.

If you talk to Nerissa you can ask her about her Legs beeing real. She will be sad and ask you "No, they are real. Do you like them? They cost me alot."
Nerissa would not have a reason to hide her real identity at the end. Georgie killed Faith and noticed nothing.

Nerissa did not even notice Faith husband at the end. Not even a little.
Nerissa ordered stuff (for the glamour). She was on the list. Faith was not. Just some reasons why i believe it was Nerissa the whole time.

I'm pretty sure I explained why that could have happened in my post. They would cover for each other all the time. So it stands to reason Faith had Nerissa cover for her, so that's why she was glamoured. And when she was killed she was still glamoured, so it looks like we found Faiths head.

[Darth Invader von Wookiee]

Because it would turn this series from great to utter sht, for me. Only the worst writers make a story just to fk it up all in the end with pathetic developments like "oh, btw, the entire game is something else, you didn't play what you think you played".

It's also "not" logical, the only real proof to back this is "the mirror didn't show Lily even if we know she was dead", there are however countless hints towards Faith being the one, with the letter being the most obvious, how "her" head was stuffed with the ribbon and ring as if "look, it's totally her, there's a ring and all that, trust it Bigby, nothing suspicious going on here", etc.

I didn't say that as "I don't want Telltale to make me hate TWAU and prove it's actually Nerissa", I said that as an I don't want to know for either of them, even if there are barely any reasons to even chose Nerissa as the one making all this happen, it allows for everyone to chose the option they want to believe making the season overall enjoyable and mysterious, in case they do not continue this Faith/Nerissa story in another season.

We stumbled upon a head with Faith's image, nothing more nothing less, the game indicates Faith has a plan in motion (for herself, not her "sisters"), it can be her head or it can be a glamour, never at any point did we get actual confirmation for this, in fact it was hidden and never confirmed by Swineheart.

This is going nowhere if we keep posting and reposting the same theories in every thread.
Both theories fit. Both make sense. Both outcomes are possible. IF there is a correct theory, Telltale isn't going to tell us. Goodbye

This. Both are plausible. And people are just going to defend the one they like the best. And unless TTG confirms one way or the other, we get confirmation in a sequel, or we find some information that we missed in the game (I doubt anything was missed) we're not going to have a clear answer.

[Yeagar]

honestly faith being nerissa at the end of the games is the better twist ending, but there are a lot of plot elements that point against it, it would be more believeable that the story nerissa said at the end of the game is in fact true and faith had been dead before episode 1 and when bigby went to check on the woody it was actually nerissa and not faith at this point in the game to introduce bigby to who faith was that way he would personally get invested in the investigation whenever he is shown the head..I think the plotholes like bigbys supposed familiarity with faith at the beginning of the game and the magic mirror were things that got lost in TT's supposed rewrite of the story from episode 1 to 2

[Jan Jansen the Turnip Slayer]

Funny, I believe none make sense xD. I'm unable to create a logical timeline for any hypothesis that explains everything withouth weird plotholes, big assumptions or crazy chain of events. But... perhaps it's just me.

Also I don't understand why at EP1 you see blood on the fence and Bigby believes someone got hurt while carrying the head to your door. I haven't seen anyone with any wound, and we have seen Nerissa almost naked.
