CROSS-CONTENT DISCUSSION: Brain Removal

Post by **Carter** » Thu Dec 18, 2014 6:02 pm

I started OWB first and did not have a brain. then i did point lookout and they said they took a piece of my brain which I did not have at the time. I just wanted to point that out.

There are discrepancies in things, a bit unavoidable.

Well I would like to fix that...

Anyone have ideas...

Never even thought about this. Possibility though I suppose.

Easy way: disable PL main story if you haven't got your brain back in OWB yet

Hard way: alter PL dialogue and events if and only if you did PL without a brain (i.e. they don't mention taking a piece of your brain, you don't get a piece of your brain in a jar at the end or whatever)

Maybe Tobar teleported to The Sink via Mothership Zeta and stole a piece of your brain from the Think Tank. Tobar is secretly a precog but not a very good one and could see that you were coming but not that you'd kill him for taking your brain.

I was thinking of blocking pl unless you have your brain, anyway i just wanted to point that out since I could not find it on the bug page.

Just make Tobar not be able to remove anything from the player's head if there is no brain, but he still had to open up the player's head to find out he was brainless so it all falls in (except that there will be no brain lump in a jar and probably some editing in some dialogues) .

just scream "where's your brain!" for 30 seconds and slap that into the dialogue. don't even bother with lipsynch or subs

I'd like to point out that there's the possibility of never getting your brain back in OWB.

We can't disable PL if you don't have your brain. Well... we could, but that'd be something I'd do to be an ass and so probably not a good fit for TTW.

Well shit, so basically we HAVE to do something with PL to account for no brain. And Tobar is unique voiced so it will be hard to splice new lines...
