SAM
Besides me, does anyone else think before this story arc is over you are going to have to fight the manipulative AI with it's own agenda that lives in your head?
Mark my words; SAM is not your fri...

Maybe it's the way around. Sarah/Scott start killing all kitten and puppy people start raising on the Nexus, bathing with the innocents' blood, then SAM intervenes, vitually crying with boolean tears, "I'm afraid of you, Scott. I can't allow you to kill Bongo (Vetra's kitten) or any other small defenseless, fluffy animal. I'll have to kill us both, for the sake of these puppies."
Our Sarah/Scott turns on the spot (as if SAM was behind them, sneaky bastar*), and with a deep, slow, hoarse, mutant-like voice, "I'm not my fatheeeeeer"
Saga ends. Poof.

While I know you are going for joke, they have now established the plot device of your death to have you play your twin.
If your death was traumatic for SAM... initially they merge a dead guy with SAM and then you die twice more. Once by SAM's choice. You're not even offered the option of saying no. That makes sense, since you're no longer allowed to make those decisions. SAM controls you. Yow watch the replacement of your neurons, that die, with the blue ones, which are SAM. Each time you die this happens. You are becoming SAM by attrition.
They keep killing you and bringing you back, like death is some kind of parlor trick in the game. Where is the dialogue option to discuss your multiple deaths with Lexi? To even answer her when she (or anyone else) brings it up to you with anything that is neither flip or practically justified on the conversation wheel? It can alter your body chemistry, effect your senses, control your muscles - you weren't given the option. SAM *is* learning with you as you progress through the game; it is learning control.

That's an interesting notion. :eahigh_file: It wouldn't save the whole plot, but at least this small part would be more enigmatic, somber, interesting. Alas, AI. Thanks for sharing. 😉

When SAM takes over it is going to appeal to you, try to rationalize it, and throw every no real win decision the game has forced you to make in your face to justify. I'm gonna yell at this pixel box... I only hope they allow you to fight back somehow and have written it well.🙂
I am a little disappointed that the illusion of choice is pretty thin in this first episode - that it isn't really there shows.
Maybe SAM will plant a little bit of itself in Ryder's eventual child, just fully integrating and taking over the child before it has a chance to develop on it's own, without anyone being the wiser.

Now that is pure EVIL!💔👿
