** Maerwald doesn't actually claim the Raider was the father of the Soldier. His speech is confusing, but it's clear that the irony lies more in the fact that the Glanfathan woman that commanded one of her fellow raiders to rape a Dyrwoodan woman would then reincarnate as the child borne from the assault.

** The game does note that they're similar, however a Watcher peers into and assumes the soul's viewpoint directly in first person, while Ciphers read more about a soul's interactions with its sorroundings (which sometimes doesn't even register to Watcher's first person view). You can see the difference by interacting with Grieving Mother; not only does her PerceptionFilter technique not even work on you, you can also access her memory with *no* resistance. However, in Eder's quest, you can't peer into a dead object, so you bring it to a cipher to make sense of the soul connection and then you watch the soul's history from there.

* The [[Doylist WatsonianVersusDoylist]] answer is that the writers didn't actually know the difference. Grieving Mother, for example, had unexplained superpowers that don't match the abilities of ciphers ''or'' Watchers. Neither group is capable of anything resembling permanently brainwashing a village or maintaining an always-on omnidirectional perception filter.

* I always get confused by this bit in Caed Nua. The raider memory-spirit outside Maerwald's chamber seems to be speaking to a woman, and with the way these conversations are structured, it's always [[spoiler: Maerwald's past life]] who's the silent speaker. So why, when Maerwald tells his story, does the Marauder suddenly become male? I understand that the goal was to reveal that [[spoiler: the Marauder reincarnated as the very child he conceived through rape (as unlikely as this, conception isn't that fast!)]] but then what's with the raider's little speech? Unless Obsidian thought of the Marauder as a trans woman which, uh, I highly doubt.
