Second Son: Plot/Story Speculation (New poll!)

[Power of pie]

IMO it would be really cheap if they just say "O NO IT DIDN'T REALLY KILLED ALL CONDUITS LIKE WE SAID! PIDDLY DOO!"

[teenbat]

They said themselves it's a new origin story and that previous characters won't be returning. I don't see how the endings fit into that.

Whatever. We'll see who's right.

You don't understand what an "origin story" is, do you?

They never said it killed them all in the first place.

So uh... Do you think we will get a perk thing going on like in inFAMOUS 2? (Based on trophies of course (Will our trophies even carry over to ps4?))

Perks?

I hope that trophies and accounts carry over.

1. Yes I do. I don't see what it has to do with anything, though.

2. Yes they did. VERY clearly.

[Bioman]

I mean at the first, when you got an extra battery core, xp and a karma boost, based on your trophy data from inFAMOUS. You could start as Good or Evil

Really? Please, show me. I remember Zeke saying that conduits died, but not that all conduits died. Do you really think a tiny device like that can cover the ENTIRE Earth and kill every single person with an altered bit of DNA?

It's a game where people can shoot lightning from their hands, teleport, fly, make oil come out and grab you, use ice to make you float in the air, and jump off of high buildings and not only be completely fine, but completely destroy everything aound them. I think the RFI makes enough sense.

I didn't say it wiped out the Conduit gene forever. I said most, probably all of the Conduits died. But you know what? By saying that Conduits lived, you're basically proving my point that the game can branch off either ending.

you know what would be cool, if deslin has to go outside of the city for something, like theres a destroyed part of the city or its a mini city level, and its were the DUP has driven the conduits out to...like its an internment reservation...surrounded by heavily armed border patrols, but beyond that conduits make the rules

So does the idea that some conduits didn't die from it.

Yes, I am adding credence to your idea, but I never said that they may never announce that it is neither ending. I am saying that anything is possible. It's like the answer to this question.

"Which answer is right?
A) 1
B) 1
C) 1"

You are saying that the answer is A) without any extra info, while I am saying that it could be A) B) or C), and we won't know for quite a while.

[Bioman]

It makes sense that if the conduit gene is not hereditary, rather a random mutation, then new conduits will be born every day. However, seeing as Delsin is 24 and inFAMOUS 2 happened 7 years before, we can conclude the RFI did not in fact kill every conduit.

I doubt we will ever know. I really don't think SP will ever feel the need to tell us, and I honestly don't feel the need to know. But I guess, if they wanted, it could branch off a specific ending. Like I said before, though, I really doubt it.

There you go. You said it. They could decide to branch off of a specific ending. Just as long as you see that there isn't one right answer right now, I'm fine.

[Jcw7199]

Both of you can be right

1.) they never said all conduits died, zeke said "of the thousands that died, millions were saved." He didnt say all conduits died. There is no official statement to conclude that.

2.) in the evil ending, scientist could have developed a cure for the pluage, as well as a way to make conduits human(like in x-men). They could have used this against cole and developed the D.U.P as a threat to any remaining conduits(once your human, you're human, you're vulnerable).

3.)again, scientist could have experimented with the conduit gene to create their own superhumans(like the indian guy from heroes)

SPP probably wont talk about the endings anyway
