One thing that really strikes me is the ending monologs. Even if AM is destroyed, it implies that this is the end result of all technology. That it will just happen again, because humans and technology cannot be separated. At least, that's what AM believes, I interpret.
Exactly one of the best warnings is this: "How can mankind learn from its atrocities if man cannot learn from history mistakes and left uneducated, Thus man faces another problem one man's ideals of peace and world harmony as utopia/heaven is another man's/woman's hell leading man to infighting, Infighting leads to corruption via power hunger individuals willing to manipulate the paranoias and naivete of good men and women, While they're good men and women sometimes good men and women attempts to do good in their own ideals again differ said individuals may become corrupted unintentionally from their beliefs that they're doing good leading man to indirectly fight amongst themselves or for those who are selfish to use the infighting to consolidate power, Finally the points made are meant to be neutral to the benevolent and malevolent side of man's nature and how their is no permanent solution for utopia as utopia can become dystopia and the main ideal of utopia is dystopia as a utopia is supposed to emulate world peace and harmony but again said interpretation of utopia/world harmony or peace can be be viewed as dictatorship or how to achieve knowing violence and other factors such as corruption or disillusionment will be the downfall of utopia and why utopia is most commonly dystopia in I was once blind and ignorant set in believing that everything has always been perfect until one day a interaction with a individual called Mr Nukes who had a angry wolf icon engaged me in casual conversation and you can say it left a profound impression that I considered life changing as I myself had realized I knew so little I knew this individual never tried to influence or push his or her views onto me they simply answered questions and I discussed many things with them about life itself and I remembered what Mr Nukes told me that our brains are not the limit the only thing is the belief that us humans cannot think for ourselves and need some charismatic person to lead us on thinking they have our opinions and safety in mind when we know nothing about said person just because they promise everything we want to hear Mr Nukes also told me to think for myself and not be codependent on going with whatever sounds smart and promising and that they're words are not instructions of any kind or advice but merely what human beings do simply living our lives defining our own views on what gives us said meaning we choose what we make of it". "So this is my warning if life seems like hell try to look bright side of life because when alls said and done we don't truly know what death has in store for us so let's do what makes us happy and be tolerant and open minded to our fellow man and woman while remembering the reason why we have disagreements and free will is what allows to be us as individuals that is all from me Klaus".

@@tonykoslowski5010 Many people do that because Ellen is a computer expert, therefore it makes sense for her to guard the supercomputer. Personally, I think Nimdok is the only one who can match (and even surpass) AM in enigmatic and psychological talks. other than those two, not so much.
First one is think . He thinks of the future events and what can be done The second is therefore . He is reson, something that am doesn't need and is just the afterthought The last one is am . He is the wepon he is the one that hates mankind and wants to play with it
I mean they killed AM, but now what? Nimdok is the only person alive in the whole world and the atmosphere is hazardous. Not a lot can happen in this scenario.
@@squirrelwarlord2525 if that's the case, what's the point of terraforming the earth at all? What I'm trying to say is that the concept of a good ending to that story falls apart immediately. It's one of the many problems I have with this game, especially if you compare it to the story its based on.
@@lenni01 Oh right, I forgot about this whole "lost tribe sleeping on the moon" thing. I find it kinda silly. It was hinted to Nimdok inside AM's own puzzle, which itself doesn't make much sense. the two other computers probably hinted it to Nimdok, but how did they do it without AM noticing? And why only now after 109 years? The original story keeps how the world works and the character themselves vague and mysterious, and I think it benefits a lot from that
Loved the game but the finale kind of disappoints me. There was obviously more they planned to do to get the good ending. What were all those places with holes in them? All the characters had a special item they could use. For example I had Benny give "love" to his holograph wife, and the thorns on the pillar that appears disappear, but the pillar remains unusable.
Thanku for uploading this. I watched an Anime a couple years back called Gall Force Earth Chapter 1987 and the Main Character performs the good deed forgiving and showing compassion to out do the super computer. Disabling its physical weapon systems from fighting the last of humanities defense forces. Ending the war and allowing humans to rebuild 👍 kinda reminded me of it.
The law of entropy states that all order becomes disorder. I think the totem of entropy is mostly a metaphor for how the organization and function of AM would inevitably fall into disorder and that it destroyed AM by accelerating this. Everything will return to as it once was, thus ending AM and eventually allowing humans to return to the earth and start again. That's just my analysis of it, at least. Saw no one ever responded to you and thought I'd throw in my interpretation for you. There may be other discussions in older forums about what the totem did to destroy AM but I'm too lazy to go looking.
Welp who ever made this game did not understand who AM was. AM was hate. Born from hate programmed to hate and murder it was made for war and war against other AMs it only knows HATE… HATE… HATE… there is no deeper thought it was never truly awake. Even if the characters thought of it was at least that’s my opinion based on the ended
So... Nimdok incorporate himself with the machine like shepard in the control ending? While the others can finally rest in peace? First time i played i followed a very horrible walkthrough, with terrible instructions, specially for the endings, it says to do some stuff then kill the characters, the last one, in my case ted, becomes the amoeba slig that has no mouth and must scream
This happened to me too, did u use a walk-through from steam too? The fact that you don't have to do any of the end stuff for all characters is crazy! This makes the game so much quicker
getting the good ending in this game is a fucking chore, Ellison purposefully instructed the devs to make it so it's higly unlikely you'd ever see the good ending, at the very least you'd always get the many bad endings first

Yes it is definitely ironic, but granted Nimdock did redeem himself in the good ending. So I guess that would more or less make him a former Nazi.
Not exactly. You can pick any of the characters for the ending.
They were heroes in spite of themselves.
