It wasn't a bad idea. Legacy of Kain and Diablo 2 did this as well. But Alex turning evil off-screen between games always just felt wrong to me.

@@filipvadas7602 I certainly agree but it all comes down to the ending of the first game, he realizes he was never Alex Mercer and was always "The Thing" and Mercer is just the first set of memories he gets. It makes sense that he would get detatched and go insane after that but I still agree.

People who stayed for whatever reason, whether it be to stay with family who can't leave (like maybe somrone on life support) or simple distrust of Blackwatch? Were they dimple looters/criminals who came in hopes of easy pickings? Treasure Hunters drawn in by the allure of fortunes hiding within the city? We don't know who they are or what they are doing there. We just know they are there, and there are so many possibilities as to why.

Alex mercer that we play as and in this game is the black light virus. He has total control over every single cell of himself. He def did. He walks you through how to win and encourages you to grow.

[@vahlen5281]

@@wesleyward5901 No copium at all. What we perceive as Alex Mercer in P1&2 is just the Blacklight having taken on his appearance, character traits and part of his memories. You're playing a self-aware weaponized virus in P1, not an infected human. And what is the main goal of a virus? Survival and improvment through a host organism. The virus recognized during the story of P2 that Heller is a superior host compared to its current recreated form, which is why it allowed Heller to absorb it after being defeated by him.

I'll never get over how they just up and turned Mercer evil Half the fun of his character was the fact that he danced on that razor's edge between man and monster, while technically being neither And the fact that the people he was up against were x100 worse made it easier to like him by comparison But in this game he just becomes a mustache twirling maniac with a god complex ,off-screen. If they wanted to have Alex go crazy and turn into a villain because he lost hope in humanity, a good way to do it would have been over the course of the game, with Heller being Alex's contingency in the event that he loses it Justifying how dafuq Heller is able to beat him, which never sat right with most fans from what I can tell

[@adrammelechthewroth6511]

Understandable.

[@godzillazfriction]

Mercer having a god complex is fine in the 2nd game especially since in the first game you as a player had a sense of that but what’s intriguing is that mercer himself released the virus and you’re the virus itself elsewell.

The reason was confirmed to be alex allowed it, he’ll regenerate just fine and can take heller over whenever he wants thanks to the virus, heller is merely a carrier, alex is the virus itself
