#Infamous 2 endings full#

If Kessler didn't knew, then why to teach John to have a strong mind in the first place? Kessler is a Chessmaster, it's not exactly logical to teach someone to mentally overcome you for nothing.His ability as a conduit is essentially 'become the Beast,' and this is the crucial piece of information Kessler doesn't know. Also note that having a strong mind has little bearing on the Beast in the long run John's mental strength would be meaningless if his conduit powers didn't give him the ability to put himself back together. In the interquel comic, we see Moya watching a Ray Sphere test and she doesn't get sick (nor is she killed by the Ray Sphere's activation, for that matter,) so a lab environment with a properly isolated test chamber must be enough to contain ray-field radiation and keep it from causing the plague. Any non-conduit in his experiments would only be there as fuel for using it on the test subject, so they wouldn't live long enough to be poisoned by it. He would have no reason to suspect the plague is caused by the Ray Sphere all of his experiments are about making the Ray Sphere work better, he doesn't care what effect it has on normal people other than using normal people to fuel it. Kessler has no idea these things are related in the way that they are.How come all problems would have been resolved if Kessler just did the natural thing and stopped the Ray Sphere development? Forgive bad grammar, English is not my first language. Exactly what he needed to become the goddamn menace Kessler was trying to defeat with his Evil Plan. During InFamous's Dead Drops, John narrates that Kessler had trained his mind to be strong, even stronger than his. The only reason he became that monster was because he had to reconstruct himself. With no Ray Sphere, there would be no Plague, and no Beast because the Beast was created when the second Ray Sphere exploded in John's face. The point of the last Good mission is that even if you defeat the Beast, humans will die. When Kessler came from the future, he had the opportunity to at least NOTICE what radiation did to the people with no powers. Kessler came from a future where the world had already suffered everything it could possibly have: People died, cities were destroyed, etc. The Plague was caused by Ray Sphere Radiation Poisoning.Considering that Kessler seems to know that John is a potentially powerful conduit, it's possible he wanted Cole to have a potentially great ally.He may simply realize that since John isn't on his side, it will put him on Cole's side post-blast, and since Cole is supposed to save the world, being what is a essentially his sidekick is worth referring to as an important destiny. According to the comic, Kessler knows that John is an NSA agent, and he knows that the NSA is at odds with DARPA and the FBI over the First Sons' research.Kessler may not have known who the Beast would be, but only that the inherent conflict between humans and conduits would inevitably give rise to the Beast. We also know from the evil ending that Cole also becomes the Beast.That seems to be the proper suspicion that Kessler had.Technically, the wording is ambiguous enough that Kessler could be referring merely to the fact that John is a conduit rather rather than the fact that he'll become the Beast.

Killing the Beast without a full activation of the RFI is the bad ending made worse, since there won't be enough Conduits left to continue the human race after the plague is finished. As the above notes, however, it's a moot point anyway. Despite what Kessler thought, there may be no other way to kill it. It's also debatable if it's even possible to defeat the Beast without the RFI to 'switch off' Conduits completely the Beast can regenerate damage it takes from Cole's powers, and it can put itself back together after being vaporized by a nuke in its face.The plague had infected millions of people, and the only way to cure them and stop its spread was the maximum activation of the RFI. Beating the Beast wasn't the point any more.Why the hell couldn't this have been used in the good final mission to weaken The Beast, then have Cole finish him off? It also uses a Beam Attack instead of hitting every conduit at once. In the evil final mission for Infamous 2, Nix used the RFI to weaken The Beast, despite it not being fully charged.
