History YMMV / ReturnOfTheObraDinn

** Are the terrible beasts as evil and monstrous as they seem or the aggrieved party trying to get their property and imprisoned companions back? In addition, how smart is the Kraken? It acts much more cunning than your average animal: Stealthily killing Spratt, taking the time to knock the rowboat with Duncan, Nathan, and Alexander into the sea, and it's smart enough to knock over the rigging and the cannons. Is this an intelligent move, or is it merely being directed by the mermaids?

** Lars Linde tried to join Alexander Booth, Nathan Peters, and Duncan [=McKay=] as they tried to abandon ship, but in his death scene he's holding a knife in his left hand, raising many questions about his character. Did he intend to use it to threaten the other escapees, or did he pull it out in self-defense when Nathan attacked him? Whatever the case, it raises the possibility that Linde might not be a good guy. On a related note, was the death of Samuel Peters really an accident, as Linde and Booth insist, or did Linde [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident sabotage the ropes and make the cargo fall on Samuel]], meaning that Nathan was telling the truth all along? And if it was intentional, then what could his motivation for doing so have been?

** Figuring out George Shirley's fate tends to throw people for a loop, as he [[KilledOffscreen doesn't even appear in the scene]] [[NeverFoundTheBody he supposedly dies in]]. Instead, the player must pay attention the scene afterwards, which shows that Shirley was attempting to free Christian Wolff from the grip of the kraken, and was promptly shot by the loose cannon and knocked overboard.
