That's debatable and you have a strong case. What I'm more concerned about is the person that is V after the resurrection. This is the person I am referring to when I'm talking about A.

You are trying twist definitions to fit your agenda and it shows. Remember, in a written discussion you can't go back on what you write so think through what you're saying carefully. You need to address the point of why my argument falls apart. So what was my argument? And how does it fall...

Try not to say things like "Here is where your argument falls apart" when you want a discussion in "good faith". Now. If you clone A, you have to specify which is the original. A1 or A2? What do you mean by consciousness? How does your definition work when you say "A2 is conscious of A1...

It's too common to equate immortality with duplication nowadays. Refer to the teletransportation paradox.

I think this is an interesting idea although I feel it somewhat complicates the idea of what an individual is. To simplify things, think of the perspective of A1. Do they share their consciousness with A2? I'd say no. Hence, when A1 dies, A1 loses consciousness. In A1 perspective, they die. A1...

Number 1 happens if V chooses to take on Arasaka with the Aldecados. Some of the Aldecados die and they put Panam (assuming you romanced her) in danger. V then removes Johnny with Soulkiller, which essentially kills them. Number 1 happens if V chooses to take on Arasaka with Rogue. Rogue dies...

Same. +1 for an option in the next patch. Pretty please?

You do you. I was just pointing out why some people might have an issue with a copy of V vs the original V. 1609461604 Agreed. It must be exactly the same copy.

So lets say that you are alive and well and one night a perfect clone of you is made with all of your memories. You survive this process and sleep through the night. When you wake up, you have a stroke during breakfast and die as a result. Your clone is made to replace you and life, for...

Pretty much agree with everything you just said but I'd like to add that there are cases where dictators drive a nation to stability and growth. See Singapore and (this is a controversial one) China. However, the proportion of beneficial dictatorships to unsuccessful ones would be close to the...

I like the direction you've taken this. Just a question, do you think continual consciousness is a necessary condition when talking about the nature of consciousness?

I think this is a meta problem in relation to the story. We all know there will be DLC so I guess the 6 months is just setting up unfinished business for the expansions. I agree that it is unsatisfying to see the main story not wrapped up cleanly but a part of me (bigger part, tbh) wants the...

Hey, thanks for the input. We have a huge difference in opinion about betraying Jackie. What did Jackie really want? It was Johnny who wanted to destroyed Arasaka. If a claim is made about betraying Jackie, one would need to analyze what it really would have mean to do right by Jackie. I think...

On my first play through, I chose the Arasaka ending and rejected the contract. After some research about the other endings, let me give you a list of why I think my choice leads to the best ending. 1. Any other choice results in Soulkiller removing Johnny's engram or V dying. Now, I personally...

They clearly ran out of time and used that as an excuse. Needed more set pieces as well. Still, a better game than most.
