History Headscratchers / AmnesiaTheDarkDescent

** Probably, but Brute seems to be so aggressive that it might have just accidentally killed the Grunt.

* In the revenge ending, Daniel walks out of the Brennenburg castle, having placated the Shadow by killing Alexander. However, where are the Gatherers that previously infested the castle? Did the Shadow kill them all out of gratitude, or are they in some sort of dormant state due to their master dying?

** Probably, but Brute seems to be so aggressive that it might have just accidently killed the Grunt.

* Why exactly Alexander has six diffrend torture devices? And how he gets Vitae from Strappado and Brazen Bull victims since those devices don't cause bleeding?

* What exactly is the point of the Justine content? What connection does it have with Daniel's story beside his letter and a few mentions of characters from the dark Descent? Also, the fact that Justine turns out to be the player, and is such a cruel bitch who doesn't get Karma bugs the hell out of me.
** Why should it have close connection with Daniel's story? It's an independent short game, more scares for fans of the original game who can't wait for a proper sequel. And do you seriously expect that a horror game like Amnesia would conform to common moral sensibilities to preserve your peace of mind?t
** Yes. Daniel gets his redemption and victory after beating the Big Bad. I would have at least liked a chance for multiple endings, one where the Justine gets Karma'd. Karma Houdinis just bug the hell out of me. It makes me not want to play the game when the person I'm playing as is some cruel, dumb bitch.
*** But you don't know she's a cruel dumb bitch till the end. Plus, due to the lack of save points, you can purposefully let her get Karma'd if you let the Suitors kill her.

*** Daniel is nyctophobe ; he can't stand the idea of being trapped in darkness. That also explains why his Sanity decreases when he's in the dark, whereas Justine's doesn't, since she doesn't share his phobia (her vision does blur and distort, but unless she's looking at a Suitor [[spoiler: or walking in the Crypt]], her Sanity remains crystal clear).

* At some point in the game, you have to [[spoiler:inject yourself with the blood of a corpse to pass into the next level.]] Anyone ever wonder that just maybe [[spoiler:that guy might have a different ''blood type'' than Daniel?]]

* [[spoiler: After knocking all the pillars and interrupting Alexander's ritual, Daniel is spared by the Shadow and backtracks all the way to the Entrance Hall.]] But even assuming the Shadow withdrew its MeatMoss from the whole castle because it had no grudge against anyone anymore, how does Daniel manage it ? The elevator is completely trashed, for starters, and if I recall correctly other parts of the castle collapsed once Daniel had left them the first time. Did the Shadow magically reset the castle to the state it was in before Daniel's arrival ?

* Daniel frequently [[spoiler:hallucinates]] about [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madagascar_hissing_cockroach giant Hissing Cockroaches]], which are indigenous to Madagascar... Despite [[spoiler:his only time spent in Africa, to the knowledge of the player, is in Algeria, on the other side of the African continent.]]

* Does Justine really want to redeem herself, or just act like she is redeeming herself? She's trying to prove she won't take the easy way out by letting the victims die...but she tortured and used her friends and lover to prove that she is a good person and that she wouldn't give into her bad human nature (despite it being a bit too late), instead of doing the more difficult thing (for her) by being nice to them and not torturing them while also not kidnapping innocents to use in her crazy "redemption" experiment. Obviously Justine is an UnreliableNarrator and not a good person though even if she saved the three victims. [[CaptainObvious Justine has some serious problems]]. Or maybe this wasn't for her, since she's way past redemption, but for the player? It may be obvious to others but I was always confused about this whole thing.
