7 Unsolved Mysteries That Keep You Awake at Night: Commenter Edition

After we pondered some unsolved gaming mysteries () we asked for the ones keeping you up at night. Several commenters won't rest until they know the true identity of Red Dead Redemption's Strange Man or Half-Life's G-Man, it turns out, while others can't fathom the survival of Resident Evil 2's Ada Wong. Discover more mysteries in the video above and subscribe for weekly videos like these from Outside Xbox: www.tinyurl.com/SubToOxbox
The survival of Ada Wong at the end of Resident Evil 2 is far from least explicable event in Resident Evil canon, but still: how does survive being shot by a baddie, pummelled by a monster or dropped off a lethally high catwalk, depending on how you played? And how does it leave her with no more than an improbable eye bandage in Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles? You tell us how, Resident Evil.

[@XGames-94]

Ada survived because she fell on a very comfy cushion of plot convenience.

[@babserella2778]

Yeah, those suckers are EVERYWHERE.

[@CoopRaccoon]

I'd call it more marketability. It's kind of like Shadow the Hedgehog. Dies in the first game, but is brought back to life by his popularity.

[@sneke989]

It's been a long time since I watched wesker's report (last I knew was cannon) but if I remember correctly Wesker stated he was there during the incident in the lab during RE2 and watched from the shadows. When Ada was shot and fell, he leaped in and grabbed her from falling to her death. Again, it's been years and I'm not sure if Wesker's report was still considered true to the story.

[@DJGodaryD86]

Wesker's report is true to the story, it was made to fill the gaps in the already known story line.

[@DJGodaryD86]

***** Because the hook was given to her after the events of Raccoon City incident. Also even if she had a hook where did she hid it all along in her ass? So as why didn't she used it earlier.

Actually it's because of Elder Scrolls' crazy metaphysics. Time moves slower in dungeons, and so much has been collected in order to keep the Draugr alive that the torches have ACTUALLY ONLY JUST BEEN LIT. At least, relatively.

[@redshirt49]

The dungeons in Skyrim are indeed lit by the undead draugr who are the remnants of the cultists who lived there and as part of their whole immortality deal are tasked with keeping the tomb/crypt/underground city/temple clean, accessible and well-lit until their master returns.

[@nomduclavier]

KamikazeeGecko ... Leon? Are you in denial?

[@KamikazeeGecko]

I'm afraid I don't understand the question.

[@reaperreaper9593]

Pretty sure he knew she was alive. I mean, he does say "So, it is true" Ada: "True?! About what?" Leon: "You, working with Wesker". Maybe he wasn't sure about her being alive, but it's no doubt it wasn't a complete surprise for him. I think he was more surprised about her showing up there.

[@Shft-T4b]

He must have been somewhat informed when he became a government agent

[@TimedRevolver]

Um...Ada saves Leon after falling into that pit. She's the shadowy figure who throws him the rocket launcher. So he knew she was alive, or at least suspected.

[@yorhaunit9s923]

I have an answer for the dungeon torches. There's a book in the game titled "among the draugr" that say the draugr don't just guard the ruins, they maintain them which could include keeping candles and torches lit

[@ArockTheDemonic13]

The thing with skyrim - it says in the lore that the undead awaken every now and then to clean up with tomb and basically be kinda maids in it - maids for who evers tomb it is xD So, some of them awaken and light candles and clean up as well as possible.

John says "Damn you!" to the strange man who responds "Many have." A common phrase in the West at least is "God damnit!" I thought he was God anyway but I think this is his way of alluding to it more directly.

Ian Grice if he was John's father, why didn't John recognize him. I always believed he was maybe the grim reaper (hence his black clothing and hat), or he was god, as he put John through trials of morality to see where his faith lies, just like god did in the Scriptures of Job (Book of Job).

[@GIMMETHELOOT94]

in skyrim it's the draugr who light the dungeons torches. I read a note about it back in one of my previous playthroughs. something about them serving their master after death.

[@wesscoates5676]

also res 2: the canon play through is claire a leon b. or the one where ada gets got by the tyrant. how she survives, I used to think she injected herself with the g virus she had on her, as she throws leon a rocket launcher in the end, but as she's completely human in res 4, now I'm not so sure...

[@Dopeypoke]

What confuses the issue is that in Wesker's Report, an official series history video released by Capcom alongside Code Veronica (I forget how exactly), it uses footage from Leon A, including Ada falling to her supposed death. Wesker just says he sent people to retrieve Ada, if I remember right.

[@anonymoususer3112]

+Wess Coates in res 6 isn't it revealed that she was born a hybrid and has genes of the monsters as well. So a kind of clone. But I haven't played it in a couple years so I'm not too sure.

Whatever happened to Bella Goth in the sims 2? Why did she disappear? Also in Life is strange, If Max's powers created the storm, couldn't we sacrifice ourselves and stop the storm, since we wouldn't be around to screw around with time anymore? Also why can Max hear the future [albeit in reverse] when she rewinds? Okay so in Pokemon the only animals that exist are Pokemon. So what do humans and Pokemon eat? Think about it. Also, what's with the abandoned school in Gta Iv? There are no kids in the game, why is it there? Also in Heavy Rain, what is Triptocaine, and how did Norman get addicted to it? What was the bite of 87 in Five nights at freddy's? In the wolf among us, who are Faith and Nerissa? Did we ever actually talk to Faith, or was "Faith" Nerissa in a glamour?

[@pepsiipep7842]

Well there's probably kids in GTA universe. They probably didn't put them in so that you can't kill them.

[@paramnesiagirl6980]

*cracks fingers* oh here we go (I'll only answer those I know tho) 2) you can't. well not really. the max you play as is one time line, so killing yourself won't stop whatever happens in another time line. it's like how you can kiss chole in one time line but won't ever in another. I could explain this further but the best reference I have for this is dragon ball when cell comes to kill them 3) like I said, more time lines, thus whatever is happening technically already happened so when she bends time and the veil of space time continuum grows thin, time sorta leaks through and let's you hear the future, but it's distorted because I mean, did you really think time would be that convient? 4) humans and pokemon eat other pokemon. in the animated series it was stated that Ash was hungry for magikarp (I think) and in the pokedex feebas is apparently delicious 5) Actually, the school isn't really abandoned because there, surprise surprise, are kids in the game. you just never see them. I think I heard from somewhere that they couldnt add kids because well let's face it, those poor guys would be murdered over and over again so even though it's never stated, there are kids, and thus the school is actually in use but you just never see it being used. Think of it as you playing through a weekend forever 7) the bite of 87 was when a kid got his front head bitten off by one of the springtrap animatronics at a freddy's establishment during a party and that's all I can remember about these games (except the wolf among us I can't really remember the plot but I remember Faith was a glamour I think?)

He is john marstons dad, look at the marston family photos in his home during multiplayer

[@Shashank7170]

+Ian Grice it's not his dad

[@Animechargeblog]

He is God, he wants to see if John really was in a redemption path (making you do choices, good or bad ones). The evidence that he is God, and not Death or Devil is when he John says: "Damn you", and the man awnser "Yes, many have"; this could allude to a number of colloquial blasphemous profanities involving the damnation of deities throughout numerous religions. Also, he says he have many names (wich God have). Marston fires three shots at the Strange Man, and the fourth bullet jams in the chamber, causing it not to fire. This could be interpreted as the demise of the Marston family, a bullet for Uncle, Abigail, and finally, John, but Jack is spared, wich is interesting to note. The number and locations of the meetings with the Strange Man draws parallels to the Temptations of Christ in the Bible: -The first temptation of Christ by the Devil happens in a rocky desert setting. The first meeting with the Strange Man takes place looking out over a rocky desert area. -The second temptation of Christ by the Devil happens in a place referred to as the "The Holy City" (Jerusalem.) The second meeting with the Strange Man takes place in Nuevo Paraiso, which translates to "New Paradise." Also, the Strange Man is accompanied by a donkey. The donkey is symbolic of Jesus because Scripture tells that Jesus rode into The Holy City on a donkey. -The third temptation of Christ by the Devil happens in a "high place", where "all the kingdoms of the world can be seen." The third meeting with the Strange Man takes place atop a hill in Beecher's Hope, overlooking all of John's "kingdom."

In skyrim the draugrs actually light the fires. They are ancient nord servants to their kings and the dragon priests, who they keep alive by giving up their life force and maintain the tunnels and lights.

[@ForestX77]

Number 2. It is the Draugr and yes some times the skeletons that light the torches and candles in the tombs along with maintaining them so they don't fully collapse. Every so often the ancient magic placed on the tombs reanimate the Draugr (you know when your not raiding the tomb) forcing them to basically be maids as a form of punishment for being part of the dragon cult.

Ada surviving is a mystery? She was slammed so hard into the controls it shattered. Leaving her a bruised almost broken mess. She fainted, which Leon mistakens for Death and due to the self destruction of the Lab didn't have the time to double check. Ada then awakens, helps him kill the Tyrant, then escapes the lab where Wesker helps her escape Raccoon City. How is this a mystery? Any RE fan can piece this together...

[@PHANTOMCOWGIRL]

I think she basically pulled a Wesker, if to a slightly lesser level of infection.

[@AnthonySforza]

Yea... I was kind of wondering about that one as well. Like "Really...?"

[@IronBoy-hf2lp]

Wrong death. This is the fall.

[@ZayIvory7]

Caleb Waters Well that can easily be explained with saying that's non-canon. Perhaps the silliness of her survival is why it was rendered non-canon to begin with. It especially doesn't make sense since they're using the clip of injured Ada which only happened after she was slammed into the Lab controls, not falling.

[@PHANTOMCOWGIRL]

***** Yeah, I'm not entirely sure if it's true or not, but I think the way she survived the control-slam-and-related-possible-injuries, is that she is infected, much like Wesker is, if to a lesser extent.

In the Fallout games, not just 4, but in all of them, there is one thing that still perplexes people. "Who in the hell keeps refilling the nuka-cola machines?" - there was, in one of the games (I forget which one) a character who did JUST that but he was only in ONE area and it was in one of the earlier games so it'd be several decades before the actions of 3 and 4. So again. Who in the hell keeps refilling the Nuka Cola Machines?

Playing off of Skyrim, I can believe maybe enchanted torches that turn on when someone enters a room. That's the express purpose of glyphs. I want to know who designed the mechanism that makes it so you can open a secret back door to the dungeon, so you don't have to back track through the whole damn dungeon again.

[@soul613]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in Skyrim there's a book written by someone who went to study the draugr. Once he managed to somehow make peace with them, he observed them. According to him, they actually take relatively good care of the dungeons they live in and they're the ones who keep relighting the candles and torches. They also clean the tombs and do other stuff.

[@Hagashager]

yet another reason Morrowind is one of my favorite RPGs, there're perfectly logical reasons for torches and light sources being lit in dungeons. If, by chance there isn't a clearly good reason, then yeah, that dungeon actually will be dark. Caves: if they have bandit hideouts, there'll be torches lit, if not then it'll br dark with the occassional glowing mushroom. Dwemer Ruins: The Dwemer were a technologically advanced race with artificial neon lighting that is still operational like the rest of the ruin. Sixth House Bases: These are currently occupied sanctuaries of the big-bad's henchmen, so yes, there will be lit torches. Deadric Temples: see 6th House Bases Anscenstral Tombs: the Dunmer frequently visit their deceased, as such they do maintain said tombs. if you find a tomb that hasn't been visited in a long time, chances are it won't actually be lit. Kwama Mines: The Dunmer have a symbiotic relationship with the Kwama colonies. Because of this relationship, the Dunmer miners do maintain lighting fixtures to allow them to harvest unwanted eggs from the queen's brood.

How about halo with how johnson survived the halo ring

[@StryderK]

Real Steel Playz the book "First Strike" explained it. Pretty flimsy mind you though!

[@steelion5701]

I dont read much of the books. Only really read 2

[@StryderK]

Ok, just to let you know, the book "First STrike" explained that long before Halo, during an assault from the Covenant, the human survivors, led by Johnson, captured a cache of Covenant plasma grenades and used it profusely. Unfortunately, humans are not cut out to handle long exposure to plasma explosions and Johnson himself wasted a WHOLE LOT of those plasma grenades and exposed himself to the radiation to the point that his nervous system started to "unscramble". This mean that actually, even if he didn't got killed on the Ark/Halo replacement by 343 Guilty Spark, he would've died several years later as his nervous system fully became "unscrambled" to the point that even his DNA started to break down. By the time he got captured by the Flood, the Flood infection form tried to jab and tap into his central nervous system in order to scramble his DNA and resequence it to Flood Combat Form. Unfortunately for the Flood, and fortunately for Johnson, by this time, his nervous system was unscrambled enough that the Flood couldn't make heads and tail of what is what and thought Johnson was dead and left him. Johnson then woke up, fought his way out and join another group of human survivors who blasted off Halo just in time before Master Chief/Spartan 107 overheated Pillar's nuclear reactors and blew the Halo to bits. He then joined MC, captured a Covenant flag ship which came to investigate and made it back to earth....I know, pretty flimsy is it?

[@Mythraen]

"I know, pretty flimsy is it?" Yes. "Johnson himself wasted a WHOLE LOT of those plasma grenades" - what? Was he playing with them? "exposed himself to the radiation to the point that his nervous system started to 'unscramble'." That raises all sorts of questions that are likely unanswerable because it's a hand-wave and not something you could ever convince a physicist of. "'unscrambled' to the point that even his DNA started to break down." Oh hey, there's some more questions.

[@SgtKOnyx]

Mythraen The actual story for how he survived the Flood as I understand it is the same reason Chief also can't be consumed. Johnson is a Spartan-I. The attempts before the Spartan-II's of which Chief is chief. As for how he survived the legendary ending? No idea.

my question about skyrim that bothers me "why does everyone got shot in the knee? is there a serial knee-shooting archer that preys on adventurers?"

[@TheChabowski]

The jarls hire the Dark Brotherhood to kneecap adventurers because nobody in their right mind wants to be a guard.

[@michaelmacvittie6977]

"arrow to the knee" is a manly way of saying "I got married"

[@HellYeahCorp]

Knee shots get surgeons more money, because -according to old codices (law documents)- a doctor got paid for the number of pieces of bone he extracted from a wound. Shots in the knee tend to shatter the kneecap, thus creating lots of little fragments.

[@DrakeAurum]

It's the only way to keep the towns stocked with guards after the dragons keep eating them.

[@martinsriber7760]

***** Irrelevant.

[@Corthmic]

One simple encounter disproves the indoctrination theory. When the prothean VI Vendetta meets you he's willing to speak to you, but when Kai Leng shows up he says "Indoctrinated presence detected" and shuts down. If you were indoctrinated, Vendetta would know.

[@Aska2468]

The theory explained it by that Vendetta is 50 milllennia old and has flaws. He was able to detect indoctrination in its advanced stage but Shepard was still strongly fighting the Reapers' influence back on Thessia and Vendetta later had to be cracked to reveal the truth about the Catalyst to Cerberus, so it couldn't detect indocrination in Shep at that point as well. The theory claims the Reapers' indoctrination in its full power started during the charge to the beacon in the final mission. I, however, do not believe the intoctrination theory to be 100% correct, some statements are too farfetched, but I think the dreams and the Citadel part before opening the Citadel arms are Reaper-induced illusions. The whispers in the dreams are actually disturbing, some are Shepard's will trying to fight back, some are Harbinger. The Citadel part makes no sense whatsoever if it's supposed to be happening outisde of Shepard's mind. If it's inside him mind though, then Anderson represents the part of him that's still fighting while the Illusive Man represents the indoctrinated part and Anderson's shown slowly starting to give in. Furthermore, Shepard survives the destroy ending with EMS level of either over 5000(the outcome of the confrontation with TIM doesn't matter) or between 4000 and 5000 but only on the condition that Anderson is alive for that "I'm proud of you" speech.

How did the Guide survive everything before the game starts even though he's very likely to die if you don't build a house before the first night? Why is there a giant Wall of Flesh with a weird face in hell? Why is the old man in the dungeon not dead yet? Why does the Corruption even exist and how was it created? Why does the Crimson even exist and how was it created? Why does the Hallow only exist after the Wall of Flesh has been defeated? Why would the Lizhardians build a temple in the underground cave of the jungle? Why is there a giant underground cave in the jungle? Why is it connected to hell? Why is there a giant dungeon near the beach? How do the Goblins, Pirates and Snowmen suddenly get to the island? Why do zombies suddenly get the ability to break doors on a blood moon? Why does the moon sometimes have rings like Saturn? Why is there the Eye of Cthulhu, but not Cthulhu itself? Why does the moon lord look so similar to Cthulhu? Are they related? Why do the souls of good and bad or whatever only get released after the Wall of Flesh is defeated? How do the NPCs know what items you have in your inventory before actually moving to your place? How do the NPCs get to the island? Why did the old man throw the Mechanic into the dungeon? How did you get your copper tools in the beginning of the game? And the most important question of them all... WHERE DID ALL MY INVENTORY SPACE GO?!

The Canon route of re2 is actually Clair a/Leon b, where she is smacked into the console. The drop of supposed death never officially happened. Even if we considered it "real"(as she would need to toss Claire a rocket launcher in Claire b ending) she is a professional spy for umbrella, and may have actually planned that drop to fake her death, seeing as she had waited for Leon at that point to bluff the virus away from him in the first place, and she fakes her death again in resident evil 6 (considering her line of work, being mistaken for dead by a member of law enforcement is pretty conveniant). Annette was an unforseen inconveniance, but helped her story hold weight anyway (albeit with more injuries).
