Unanswered Questions *MAJOR SPOILERS*
So after finishing the game 100%, I have a few questions that still remained unanswered.

#1: How the heck is Delta Q and Q is Sean. I understand that it is the robot made to look like the brother he lost (Left???). But since everyone knew he was Sean...that means there were 10 people in the entire game. So everwhere Q team went Delta was to Follow? They never really explained the whole "Q is actually Delta" thing correctly in my opintion.

#2: D-END 2 shows Luna giving names to her babies and sending them in 1904. However, how did they spend 3 years together. In VLR We find out that Sigma loved Diana and was trapped with her inside the mars mission test site. The transporter runs every 10 months..they just sent their babies away using the transporter and have to wait another 10 months...but they have no food. So...where does the 3 years come in? I am lost on that one

#3: Ok so Delta made the Decision Game for a variety of reasons, to spread Radical 6, To make sure he and Phi were born and to strengthen the resolve of the participants in prevented the spread of the virus from an unknown terrorist. Ok..but what about the ORIGINAL TIMELINE. How was Delta ORIGINALLY created? Assuming that Diana and Sigma where kept in the underground bunk shelter...who was the ORIGINAL ZERO that made Diana and Sigma so stressed to give birth to Delta and Phi1? It cannot be Delta becuase #1 He cannot SHIFT and #2 He was not born then. So...I don't understand that.

If anyone can answer these, I thank you.

1:Q is not Sean, Sean is just Sean, the game makes you believe that Sean is Q, but Q is Delta, and he is always with Q team. You can see his shadow in lots of Q team scenes. Also, one of the reasons that Eric suspects Sean is because he isn't in the X-Passes board. C and D team, when they think about Q, they are thinking about Delta, not Sean, because is Delta who they met in Mars Mission Test Site.
2:They died in that timeline
3:It is just a stable time loop, the same as 999. How can be Akane alive since she died on the incinerator?

The 3 years... alternate histories. Remember that Sigma's conciousness is old man Siggy that Shifted back to 2028, he comes from the history where Diana drags both he and Phi out of the Shelter. Choices you made sent him down alternate branches of history... like getting stuck in the shelter with Diana.

To start off make sure you ask these type of questions in the "Story Discussion (SPOILERS!)" section of this forum next time


  1. You're misunderstanding something. Sean was never referred to as "Q", you can go back and check. Also the only team who knows that Sean is in the game is Q-Team. The other teams did see him at the coin toss but their memories were erased from that time. Everyone in the Decicion game knows that Q refers to the old wheelchair bound man whose real identity was Delta. And yes Q was carted around to wherever Q-Team went as well, because whenever we're with Q-Team we're seeing what takes place through Q's eyes. The perspective for the other teams is attributed to the glasses he's wearing. Notice how they look oddly familiar to another pair of glasses that can transmit remote video information to the wearer that C-Team finds in one of their puzzle rooms. Also Sean is not Left. The Mymidions are clones of Left but Sean is just a robot. Sean is based off the boy in Zero's story that died because the surgeon who was going to operate on him was killed in a car accident.
  2. D-End:2 is not in the same timeline as the VLR ending where Diana meets the young Sigma once again on the moon for three years. In D-End:2 you can safely assume they all starved to death.
  3. This is the Bootstrap Paradox. We will never know the origin since they made themselves into a casual loop.

    1. Sean was NEVER based after Left. He was based after a young boy that Delta met at the hospital. And yes, everywhere Q-Team was, Delta was. Q was ALWAYS Delta. None of the characters actually CALL him Q. They ALWAYS refer to him as Sean.
    2. That was Diana, not Luna. And, in that timeline, they die of stravation. The three years was in the VLR timeline.
    3. It's a stable time loop. You NEVER question stable time loops. They will never make sense.

    #2: Three years are in VLR timeline, not in twins timeline. They spend 3 years living on the Moon after ZTD in case of Radical-6 outbreak. Then Diana died because of gravitation problem and it's at this time epilogue take place. I'm more interested in twins end as how can they thought 1904 Germany will be a good idea? With First World War playing around and all...

    #1: Actually they shouldn't know Sean's name at the beginning as he haven't remembered it at first, but they know what Q is "that guy in chair". C and D team haven't known about Sean until meeting with him in some of endings. You can note they call him "pure child" or "Zero even killed a child" in timelines C and D teams find a corpse, but they don't use name or assume he's Q.

    This should be moved to Story Discussions, because of unmarked spoilers.

        [/quote]Then what about Delta's bracelet....wouldn't he count too..and what about Sean's bracelet..their braclets should have been the most suspicous since the beginning of the game
    Mr. Manual Jul 4, 2016 @ 2:03pm 
    what about Delta's and Sean's bracelets? Sean already said his is for show, and you can asume Delta's is too.

    I get their braclet issue.

    My other concern is the Bootstrap Paradox but nvm.

    IDK..The whole Sean is not Q thing feel really pushed..

    I found this off of reddit, i agree

    ", the fact that everyone never calls him 'Sean', the suspicious camera angles which somehow manage to always not show the fourth member... During the entire POD scene where everyone is coming out, where is Q? Is Q in the pod? Why does no one remark on his absence?"

    you can see his shadow in most of the Q-team bits, it's just hidden enough to not be picked up for someone not looking for it
