[SPOILERS!] After finishing the game, there are quite some questions left...

[PorcusGrunzus]

If you didn't finish the game and don't want to spoiler yourself, move on.

Wow, what a amazing game with a good story. Somehow there are quite a few questions I have which are either not answered or I missed them.

1. What the hell is with Ruvik? The ending of TEW1 seemed like he was able to escape with Leslies body. There is no note at all about him in the game. Possible TEW3?

2. Is Myra really "dead"? The ending after the credits showed the Stem system abandoned, probably around 3 years later but its suddenly booting up again. First I wonder why the Mobius facility wasn't destroyed, second why does Stem boot again? Was Myra able to restore it? Or maybe someone else? Maybe Ruvik has taken over the facility and continues his research? TEW3?

3. What happened to Sykes? He wasn't shown after finishing the secondary missions for him. Was he able to survive and get out? Even if he was, did he escape Mobius or did he die with the other personel in Kidmans attack? Maybe he did just die. 25% chance to survive...

4. Why did all the Mobius personel die anyway? Did Kidman overload their brain chips or what? Can be that I missed something... Seeing the Administrator just die like that was kind of a "meh" ending for him.

5. Joseph is alive?! It was mentioned by Kidman after collecting all of the photos and she was supposed to explain it after the event is over. Well, we didn't see or hear any of it. TEW3?

6. What is the deal with this black cat? It was already in the DLCs for the first game and usually marked a save haven for the player. But it was also displayed in the office of the Administrator. Is it his cat? Why is it in Stem anyway? Kidmans memories projected it into the DLCs levels I guess but what has Sebastian to do with it? He never saw the cat... HUH?!

7. There was this ghostly woman which hunted Sebastian several times and she takes part in some kind of optional story mission. However, its not clear why she hunted Sebastian or what she was anyway. Maybe she is tied to the events of the first game? Considering she is always in such backflash missions. I personally didn't get the "creature". Maybe it was supposed to be something that haunted Sebastian from back then? Myra? Really no idea. Also there was no real bossfight where the creature gets killed.

Are there answers given to any of those questions? Lets discuss and think about it.
Maybe there will also be DLCs for TEW2? No idea. Maybe TEW3 is supposed to answer many of those open questions.

Oh ♥♥♥♥, you are right. Only now I remember the file of doctors discussing how people keep tlakign like some sort of force is chasing them, and they can not pin it down.

Then you can clip that to the scene where the priest turns into the monster while pleading and scared.

And Sebastian goes through the same transformation process as the priest, if Anima catches him.

Nice catch man

Also, I don't think the sidequests will affect the main plot scenes.

There is a bunch of other files, more subtle, just saying that they heard some woman doing noises, thinking it was stuff from their head, etc. There is even a small memory about it when you first reach that north safehouse at chapther 3. The guy comments that the safe house is 100% secure and then gets baffled and wonder how "that creature" could possibly had entered the safehouse. I'm pretty sure it was her.

Hm. Yeah, dont know how many years have passed since the kidnapping. If its only 2-3 years its reasonable I guess. But generally it doesn't make much sense. Sebastian clearly looks older, just a bit.

It’s been over 3 years that’s for sure because she was kidnapped before evil within 1. she “died” in 2012 idk when evil within 2 takes place. She’s supposed to be way older once out of stem. I still think they’re inside it.

I’m still annoyed they haven’t explained tatianna yet hope we get answers on a dlc or something

I'd assume that Lily was in some sort of stasis chamber, as it would make STEM very pointless for what mobius planned for it, if it only had the lifespan of an average human being, minus 11 years -lily being so special and all with some test scores. Mobius being some global conspiracy with vast resources, complete with scientists and doctors may have access to that technology.

What bothers me more, is that lily is not physically connected to the machine. I read about wireless connection to STEM, from TEW1 and 2, but lily is the host, that connects everyone. Ruvik had his brain scooped out, so you'd expect wires sticking out of lily's head or something.
And if she had a chip in her head, the signal would fry her too. unless it's a special chip or something.

Ruvik had his brain scooped out, because he was not cooperating with Mobius, they lost their trust in him, and basically made it physically impossible for him to ever be removed from the STEM.
The issue as I recall, the 1st prototype was calibrated to only operate on Ruvik's brain waves.

I would suppose the 2nd prototype is not created in such a way. Though it would've been sick, disgusting, and shocking (in an aweseome way), if Sebastian found out that all what is left of his daughter, is just brian inside the machine.

Even more, I am dissapointed that they didn't even add that line of thinkign and dialogue for Sebastion, as it could've been a super likely possibility of happening.

I doubt they will make DLCs, since there seems to be no Season Pass. Honestly, it's like they just wanted to finish the series quickly and get some cash, since game looks really lacking and bland overall comparing to the first one.

A question of my own:

In the post-credits scene, Kidman had a scar on her hand. I don't remember much from the first game, so did she get it there or is it supposed to be some kind of plot twist that I fail to grasp?

The scar is from the Assignment DLC for the first game.

When they pulled Kidman into the STEM, she got stuffed with some wierd ass serum that almost seemed to brainwash her for Mobius, and that was basically manifestation of the Administrator inside her head in STEM. That scar is a wound that appears on her hand after the whole ordeal, and it seems to have healed in this game after they are done with Mobius.

If you didn't play the DLCs, you must. They are very very good.

Have the same feeling, but holding out hope.
The game felt very short.

Despite me just falling in love with the ending, it felt like they wanted to just rush everything down and be done with it. Not even talking about the unanswered questions about Joseph Oda, Ruvik, and just where ♥♥♥♥ all the bodies for Myra, Theodore, Esmeralda are, in addition to thousands of citizens that were pulled into this STEM.

I'd assume that when a citizen turns into a "lost," their physical bodies flatline, and are disposed of. As for Myra, and Esmeralda, it can be assumed that they were plugged into other STEM chambers. These other chambers can be seen in the cutscene when Kidman is locking down Sebastian's chamber. Why no other chambers were investigated though, is odd. probably not even put into the game, as they couldn't tie up the story with a nice bow if they did.

There's reason to believe that either STEM/Ruvik/Mobius marked Kidman during those DLCs. Which may have have some residual effect, or hold over her. Considerably, if I were to guess, that scar would have haunted her through another DLC campaign where she rescues Oda. Which explains why the lingering issue of the scar was resolved by the time of the events of TEW2.

You're also forgetting why is Lily the same age? She should be 11-12. Not 6.

We discussed it in this thread.

Depending on how you look at the ending to TEW, Ruvik failed to properly transfer his brain into/take over Leslie's body, since Leslie's bath has a filled bodybag in it. The Leslie that Sebastian sees walking away after he exits Beacon in the real world disappears as Seb experiences head pain and the same shrieking that seems to be the wireless signal the STEM.

But by that point the machine is definitely off and Sebastian is definitely in the real world.

So I interpret that as Ruvik AND Leslie being as dead as ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

[Samurai]

A pity they didn't build on the Ruvik cliffhanger since the new villains were a joke.

Edit: I also wouldn't count on TEW3 (if it comes out) trying to build on the cliffhanger this time around.

[Dejanir]

Maybe sykes mind are rebooted the STEM machine, she try to leave, but not had success, in the memo on PC is: "The chance to leave of STEM its above 25%, if fail, the person just desapear", meybe your concience stuck in the STEM on separate area, and then try to start STEM with no having a CORE to start it, and she have succes after many Years, she are just only person have that experience to do that... its not ruvik, because sebastian smash your brain with your nike's foot in TEW 1, in the end of game...

[KingofallHeroes]

Sebastian smashed the memory of Ruvik's brain inside STEM. Not Ruvik's actual brain.
By that point, if you played the DLC Ruvik had already merged with Leslie so it didn't matter what Sebastian did to that version of Ruvik.
