*** But if that's so, why would she want to bring another kid into this kind of world? If she laments what happened to her other kids (which weren't really hers, they were engineered) and wanted a child to be happy, why bring another into such a sad, bleak, unhappy world? How does she know if Paxton/Point Man are going to care about its happiness? (idk about PM, but Paxton clearly does not.) She supposedly wants it so *it* can love *her*, not so *she* can love *it*, because she "wants the love she never got from her father", or so I've read; like I said that is senseless. Also out of curiosity why did she specifically want her sperm donor to be Becket? What was wrong with Keegan, or some other man? If she's doesn't have any ill intentions for the world, why would she go and commit such brutal sexual assault and psychological abuse on someone she supposedly cares about?

*** Why does she want a superubermechapowerful child if she doesn't have evil intentions for it and "just wants it to be happy"? Didn't tell me about why she thinks PM/Paxton would care about its welfare, or how it could really be overly happy in such a dark world. And still, why sexually assault him so if she cares for him? You don't get someone to return your affections by inflicting such abuse on them. Surely a person with any knowledge of what sex is would know how that goes? (though I'm quite clueless as to how and 8 year old who spent her life in suspended animation inside a tube would know anything about that, but that's beside my point...).

(though I have no clue why she would even think anything of this man, wth)? On a side note, how is it physically possible for a woman to force sex on a man? He needs to have an erection in order to copulate, which generally does not happen when he is not sexually aroused. (which he certainly was not, being stuck in a mind trap.)

*** But... why, just why would she want to bring another kid into the world? So it can have a good experience in life is not a valid reason; if she truly laments what happened to her other kids (which weren't really hers, by the way, they were engineered) and wanted a kid to be happy she wouldn't freaking have another one, bringing it into such a sad, bleak, miserable world. She wants it so *it* can love *her*, not so *she* can love *it*. That is so ludicrously mad and selfish and senseless. That strongly reminds me of that vile woman who shot her own children, and then fed some poor bloke pot and got pregnant again so she could play it as a defense in court (Diane Downs). And why did she specifically want her sperm donor to be Becket? Seriously, if she's not really motivated toward destroying the universe why would she go and commit such brutal sexual assault and psychological abuse on someone she supposedly cares about (though I have no clue why she would even think anything of this guy, wth)? Absolute rubbish. Sexual assault and abuse has absolutely nothing to do with "love" or personal feelings or whatever, it's about power and control. People do not commit such acts against people they truly care for purely because of such emotions. On a side note, how is it physically possible for a woman to force sex on a man, anyway? He needs to have an erection in order to copulate, which generally does not happen when he is not sexually aroused. (which that guy certainly was not, being stuck in some twisted hallucination mind trap.)

*** Eh, crazy stuff. But one last thing, why would an insanely angry pissed little dead girl who for some reason doesn't want to just move onto the afterlife or whatever, who hates everything and everyone and wants to explode the world into a big fiery ball in space, who is mentally retarded and has the mindset of a five year old (her reasons for wanting a brat are ludicrously imbecilic and selfish, that's extremely saddening), know anything about sex, or even be at all interested in such things? It was her father who caused it all, and she already killed him, why doesn't this little nutter just go away already? (>>is immensely glad to be gay<<). Hmm, maybe I should start playing TS3 more...

Really, it might be easier to not think of Alma as a "ghost." She appears to transcend the concept of a spirit or ghost, instead being a sort of supernatural psychic manifestation that can take on physical form. Less ghost, more demigod or EldtritchAbomination.

*** Ghosts in FEAR can apparently do exactly that. Alma's psychic abilities basically allow her to give silly things like death, biology, and the laws of physics the finger.

*** Welcome to FEAR, where ghosts of sufficient power seem to have that ability.

*** But she's still dead... how can a dead chick reproduce? With a non-dead, noarmal dude no less? Much less reproduce a normal human child.

The devs obviously have some very bizarre fetishes, why would an angry pissy little dead girl who for some reason doesn't want to just leave and move onto the afterlife or whatever, who hates everything and everyone and wants to destroy the world, who is mentally retarded and has the mind of a five year old (her reasons for wanting a spit bubbling little babe are ludicrously retarded and selfish), even know how to have sex, or even be at all interested in such things? More than enough to turn me strictly homosexual.

** It's not quite as strange as it seems. In fact, the presence of a MegaCorp with those kinds of resources is scarily plausible, if a MegaCorp wanted to field a major military force. Armacham is probably like many of the corps in DeusEx or other CyberPunk settings (some currently-existing corporations have incomes that outpower entire countries' tax budgets) though each game does seem to expand on their available resources and manpower. But yeah, ATC is big. That fits the genre.

*** No. Again, you're making the fundamental mistake of applying the rules of other settings regarding ghosts to a setting where the rules do not work that way (this is like complaining that magic in ''TheDresdenFiles'' does not follow the rules of magic from ''FinalFantasy'' or ''DungeonsAndDragons''). Don't assume that because ghosts are incorporeal in other fictional media that they are in this setting, because the rules are not established beyond observable abilities. FEAR ghosts, particularly Alma, can manifest physical bodies that act exactly like human bodies. Fettel can do the same thing.

*** But Alma does not have a body that be interacted with... she's a ghost. She is dead. Her actual, physical body was destroyed back in the first game; she doesn't physically exist. She is completely without any somatic cells. And how in hay can she get physically preggo when she doesn't physically exist? She has no place for teh physical penis or semen to physcially go. And a ghost producing a totally live, flesh and blood kid when she does not physically possess the necessary, '''living''' reproductive organs to create a '''living''' thing? Gametic cells are not viable after the death of an organism (even the rich cytoplasm of oocytes would not sustain them for very long). Even if I just take biology and logic and toss them in the rubbish bin, I still can't think of a way to make sense of this.

** I'm still missing something. Exactly how the hail can a '''freaking non-corporeal ghost''' have sexual intercourse with a living man, much less get knocked up and have a '''living''' child? That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. You can't pork ghosts, their genitalia (and reproductive organs) are nothing but thin air. I don't get it at all. Also, how come the devs said sparing or destroying her and the abomination kid would be an option in the third game, but rather in both endings she is killed and it gets spared whether you like it or not? Forced reproduction and abomination fetuses are a popular trend in video games these days...

* My brain is frying like a burned egg. I'm still missing something. Exactly how the hell can a '''freaking non-corporeal ghost''' have sexual intercourse with a living man, much less get knocked up and have a living child? Holy crap. You can't pork ghosts, their genitalia are nothing but thin air... this is ridiculous and exceedingly perverted. I don't get it at all. Also, how come the devs said destroying the abomination kid would be an option in the third game, but instead it gets spared whether you like it or not?
