    After playing a bit more, i have a new theory. I think similar to how Julianna managed to compress her memories to avoid losing them, I think Colt found a way to wipe his memories. I mean it IS strange that colt not only succumbed to the amnesia of the loop but also lost memory of everything before, including his name. I think after failing to break the loop (the multiple chairs in with Julianna) i think he decided if he couldn't bring himself to break the loop, he had to wipe all his memories and hope that a blank slate colt would be able to be pushed to do what he couldn't due to all his past baggage.

    It's funny at first I was kinda annoyed about the ending of deathloop but I'm starting to think that all endings are Canon. The toppled chairs and you sitting on it resetting the loop alone could be one part. Second part is you and your daughter having some fun with the loop making up for lost time. The 3rd ending could be colt realized that this is no way to be with his daughter so ends the loop hence why she's so hesitant about killing you in the end because now she remember everything and feels conflicted. Overall an Interesting story hope to see more.

      This actually sets the devs up nicely to do a sequel too. Make the "end the loop" ending cannon and, if the player wants to do the tutorial in the sequel game, start out having the player play through a shortened version of breaking the loop in case they didn't already experience that in Deathloop 1. Then everybody is on the same page.
      Ties up all the loose ends and avoids a situation where (Star Wars KOTOR comes to mind) devs have to officially tell the player which ending is cannon going into the next game.

      The loop is not perfect cause the people are still suseptible to random changes in their choices.
      Wenjie actually covers a lot of it.
      For example if Frank has a 30% chance to use one topic for his song and a 70% for a different eventually there will be a loop where he chooses the first.

    The most probable ending must be you breaking the loop. That last meeting happened countless times, because Colt could not bring himself to kill Julianna or was still hoping to reverse time somehow. That's why the outside looks like an apocalyptic wasteland. The loop must have been going for countless years before it was finally broken.

    Just finished it. I really enjoyed this game but the plot left MANY questions unanswered (or maybe I just didn't find the documents that answered them)
    1) Why is Colt amnesiac? Did he erase his own memory? How? Why?
    2) Why are Colt and Juliana the only ones who keep their memories from loop to loop?
    3) Did the other visionaries KNOW they wouldn't be keeping their memories? Seems like a pretty massive oversight on their part (especially the scientists : Wenjie, Egor and Charlie)
    4) If the reason everyone's trying to stop Colt from breaking the loop is because the outside world is an apocalyptic wasteland, WHY NOT JUST TELL HIM?
    5) What happened to Juliana's mom?
    6) Why would Colt NOT break the loop? It's established from the start that he finds the whole situation most unpleasant. So the "Stay" ending makes no sense to me,
    especially Colt's sudden change of attitude... like "Well, on second thought I guess living for eternity getting drunk with a bunch of rich assholes sounds like fun!".........

      This is gonna be based on what I've already read/watched, so there's probably a video or post of it somewhere, but here it is for your (and whoever else's) convenience:
      1. Cole eventually completely lost his memories after being killed so many times by Julianna and the Eternalists.
      2. Cole was already stuck in a separate loop many years before the events of the game, so that's probably the main reason as to why he can retain memories. As for Julianna, she gained the ability to retain memories after being killed by Cole so many times.
      3. I guess they didn't. Seems like they were just promised of a good time forever. Wenjie is somewhat aware but due to being unable to retain memories after each loop, she forgets.
      4. I don't think anyone knows how the outside world is. Everyone just wants to stop Cole because they think he's going to ruin their good time.
      5. She died from a disease at the age of 51.
      6. This one's mostly up for interpretation. It could be that Cole understands the inevitability/value of being stuck in a loop forever, not aging, but also being able to retain anything he (and Julianna) learns about anything and everything.

She also knows from the behaviour of Colt and Julianna that everyone forgets except C and J, and she is irritated, but still cannot find thew way to remember herself within one day.
      From what Julianna says to Colt, everyone used to remember everything, but at some point started to forget as their minds were overburdened - and everyones brains as self defense started to forget every day.

    the dlc could bring in new enemies like in different loops people acted differently like have enemy's use more powers or have unique gimmicks. and another I thought of is the next day. were every one thinks the ;loop is broken and wants to kill Cole for it. but like before don't remember they are looping. for changed enemies they could be arming up and changing to hunt Cole down. and now their is a new loop. maybe with some one else taking Juliana's place.

    Spoilers
    A few missed details, a side quest details that a random Eternalist also manages to retain memories across the deathloop, same with 2-bit and Charlies brain that is stuck in there. Comments from Juliana imply Colt lost his memories before but made that choice to stay in the loop before. As for the state of the world in the "broken" ending, few characters including Colt in audio log say the aeon program was best hope for humanity. And that the rest of the world outside was an effective hellhole... given that Deathloop seems to take place in the Dishonored verse... that statement is very accurate if recall stuff from Dishonored.. Bloodflies as example were native to Serkonos with nothing really "special" about them.

      That sidequest with Pick Rexly was included in another video. The comments from Julianna imply that he has stayed in THIS loop before, not the previous one. More importantly the prophecy in Dishonored suggests that magic has essentially run amok and that has led to this chaos.

    Though the ending was sad, that was the right thing to do
    It's our aim from the start.. a defintive loop of repeates is sick, it's not healthy at all
    The Ion program had anomalies that caused this loop.. by the end of the day.. everyone lose his memories and the day starts again.. that really is sick, my worst nightmare
    Even if you wanna focus your aim to Juli, this ain't gonna work.. she will get sick of it.. she gotta have a life!
    We all (as charecters) were BROUGHT to the loop, it's a prison where they perform expirements, she even was probably born in the loop
    In addition, if I'm not mistaken everyone in the island was a prisoner before.. And.. all of the program makers are gone except the visionaries, which confirm that we were expirement rats..
    I won't let my girl live in a word like that!
    A dlc expansion will fix everything, what happens after breaking the loop, she's young.. she has a future

    Only plot hole with the shift thing at the end is, colt broke the anomaly once and came back an it was still there, so breaking the loop doesnt remove the anomaly from the island the island itself is the magic. so it should still work. its setting up the loop that requires intervention from people like egor when colt returned. loved this otherwise was waiting for someone to piece this all together.

    @itsdantaylor 2 года назад +13

    I am confused about one thing. If colt wanted Julianna to remember, so he constantly killed her (and she later did to him) in order to have them keep their memories........then in theory if colt kept trying and killing the visonaries over the course of the game, wouldn't they start to remember? Or do you need to CONSISTENTLY do it for a ungodly amount of loops for it to stick? That could explain why some of the people act the way they do besides the 'thinking they are immortal and can do whatever they want' thing. Maybe all the times they are killed causes them to remember just barely and the memories of their deaths cause their psyches to warp as a result.

    • @DrOmni
      @DrOmni 2 года назад +5

      This doesn't really makes sense, though, since there are more than one person who keeps committing suicide during the First Day, and some of the Eternalists kill each other, every time. Examples being the guy who fires himself off a rocket, some guy who is mentioned jumping off a cliff, a guy who accidentally kills his friend while trying to use the poison gas as a drug, as well as Harriot's sacrifice in her morning rite. If dying over and over is what lets you remember, then it should be more widespread. There has to be another explanation, or at least an additional element to it, than just death itself.

    I think the “Don’t break it ending” is more so him succumbing to delusions. He’s starting to think “hey if we’re working together now, maybe after some more loops she’ll change her mind”. Where the “break the loop” is more him accepting that he can’t get back to her and it’s time to move on.

    Or is the only way to keep looping “post-game” is to not activate the final ending you showed??

    The thing that I don't like about the story is that the big promise of the whole thing is infinite time and infinite knowledge. They don't get this because they are stuck in the loop but Colt and Julianna DO get it. They could easily fulfill the original awesome role by retaining knowledge and giving back to the others every morning to expand it, on the minimum working with Wenjie and figure it out.

    The day that is looping - is that the first day of all the Visionaries and the Eternalists on BlackReef? If it is, it doesn't look like so in the loop. All the visionaries seem to have an ongoing inter-connected life from the very beginning in morning. (i.e. they have lived in Blackreef, together, for quite some time, before this loop started.) But if they had life on Blackreef, before the loop, how is that possible? The loop started after some time and wasn't constantly ongoing thing forever?

  • @CrazyHorse151

    I mean, with this kind of story and the "strange anomaly" in the center of it, you can basically do whatever you want and tell whatever story you want to tell. But quite a bit doesn't make sense even with the rules they make up for this universe.
    First of all, when the loop is broken, why did the time "outside" the loop continue? I was under the impression that it's really just one day fixed in time that repeats (with a few characters keeping their memories). But since time has progressed with the same tempo the time has progressed in the loop, how does the interaction between loop and outside work?
    Similarly, there is a sense of progression in the game. I might got this wrong but all these games they dotted around the island and all the rituals imply that they've been doing this (knowingly) for a while. Did all of that happen before they actually started the loop?
    Many questions. Interesting story. But many questions.
