ok, so i just finished the game and this is MY understanding of what happened. What paul saw, wasnt the end of time in 2016, but a SECOND fracture event that will happen in the future. This is why he was confused about why the stutters were escalating faster than he had SEEN it happen. Hatch, which we know is a shifter (and thus, when he "died", we only saw 'one possible version' of him die, and not ALL of him), has now taken over control of monarch, and he still intends to bring about this future fracture and end time so that his kind can find peace.

Jack is at monarch essentially doing a briefing likely at monarchs request, to help them gather intelligence on what happened. Jack is there willingly, even if monarch forceably brought him in for questioning, because he has an ulterior motive which ill mention in a moment. Hatch knows that jack is changing into a shifter so would like to keep him close AND thinks can help him in his plan (which is why he offers him a job), Jack does not know (until he SEES hatch at the end) that hatch is the shifter that he saw killing all the monarch soldiers. The reason jack is there, is because he wants access to the time machine that monarch still possesses because he intends to go back and save beth (we saw in a flashback he promised to come back for her. Jack still believes that the past is not set in stone and can be changed, despite what hes constantly been told).

Whats interesting is that Hatch wants to bring jack around to his side since jack will become a shifter eventually... Hatch left him a note in serenes office (jack does not know that hatch is the one who wrote the note, though perhaps he will figure it out) explaining who/what hatch is and where he came from, so that one day jack will hopefully understand the situation for when the time comes where hatch will give jack a 'choice' (which he does at the end of the game, when asking him if he'll join monarch - jack even gains pauls powers of seeing two alternate paths to choices, which is the final thing we see happening)

I believe that IF we see another game (quantum break was clearly intended to be a franchise), it will feature jacks attempts to save beth, the creation of a new fracture, and jack eventually becoming a shifter which will tie in to pauls dream (the one with the two of them burning in fire, a metaphor for the suffering shifters feel when experiencing time and motion and all the infinite possibilities of their lives)

I dont think he'll be able to save beth. I believe paul was right all along and the end is inevitable, and everything he saw will come to pass. I do think that when Hatch was talking about old friends also being shifters, hes talking about beth, who also likely became one when she was subjected to the chronon burst that gave paul his sickness.


But thats only my understanding... I feel like everything made sense to me though.

I know this is an old thread but I just have to point out that saving Beth is impossible. Will explains this clearly, you can't change past events that you have seen, thats why Will and Jack travel forward in time to use the countermeasure.

That was just a silly scene that they should have left out of a great game.

I agree, but I think that the introduction of "junctions" make it somewhat amibigious, since they obviously represent different timelines where even major events - like who lives or dies - happen differently. It seems to contradict the theory of one unchangeable timeline.

Will said that the past is set not the future. The junctions are future events, a crossroad where an individual who is chronon active can see to some extent the outcome of their actions. Paul was far more advanced compared to Jack as he had far more exposure.

However shifters are an unknown quantity, who knows what Hatch is able to do? Maybe he knows a way of altering the past as well its not very clear how powerful the shifters are.

I'd like to think that because the time-traveling is done by coridor (both figuratively and literally) and you can only travel between the same time-machine-core, so does this work for changing the future (a 'junction'). You can never change the past. You are stuck on a timeline and you can't change, because that's your "time-lane", but your future is not set, so you can change your future. And when you travel to the future, you see the future of the 'lane' you are currently in, but you can always decide to change lanes.

I believe the Junctions are a one-time choice. In the story, you cannot go back and change the choice Paul made. If you reload to a Junction, you are essentially starting the game again from that point. The time travel remains consitent throughout that game. The past can not be changed, and any attempt to do so, will just make it happen.
