>>16503774It just makes zero sense, and it could've been pretty easily fixed. Why not make it so the gas effect lingers the same length as the cloud itself? Oh, well. I guess gas grenades don't get that much use anyway, but you know, I think I died a couple or so times because of that. It also makes running through gas way more of a bother, because you have to be scared of enemies randomly deciding to attack you while under the gas.
It's also fun to dissect the plotholes in the game. One I ran into that I doubt many can tell, there's the thing with the voice-mail.
It's actually not really voice-mail, it's conscious-mail. Every single neuron in Denton's head is tampered with, so that people can send him information literally through the voice in his head. The voice-mails you hear in the game are actually in his head, nobody from the outside world could hear it even if they tried. I think this also goes both ways somehow? Something about Denton's consciousness being transmitted as well, so that when he gets in trouble and shows distress, UNATCO knows before he can even tell anyone. I don't know if it's directly his every thought or just basic emotion, though.
Anyway, I guess it's already weird in the first place that they go for this instead of a simple earpiece, which works perfectly for the exact same purpose, but that's not really the point.
Spoilers, but who cares. After JC defects, people from UNATCO still have clear access to communicate with him in this way. So, maybe you know where I'm going with this, why don't they just overload his mind? Basically earrape Denton, except with the voice in his head. They could play anything over it, imagine tinnitus but a million times worse.
It's also not even connected to his eardrums, so, that makes you think, couldn't they make Denton "hear" the loudest thing conceivable and make it impossible for him to operate? I don't know, lol, but at the very least they could've messed with his mind a little using this.
