You've killed us both

[Zoridium JackL]

i see the problem here, you are assuming that the shadow is acctually after daniel, the truth is, it probably isnt, it just wants the orb, the only people who say it is after daniel personally, is alexander, and then daniel after being told by alexander, the shadow never acctually says it is after daniel, we only know it wants the orb,

revenge ending, the portal is destroyed and aexander is killed along with daniel, the shadow wants the orb, alexander has it, easiest way to retrieve it, kill alexander and take it, doesnt need to kill daniel, he doesn't have the orb, he is just there, so the shadow lets him go, for example, if i want to get from island a to island b, why would i first travel to island c if i can travel straight from a to b faster?

let alexander go ending, alexander leaves, presumably with the orb, so daniel takes on the role of all the people that he met after obtaining the orb, you know, the ones the shadow kills, he becomes another stepping stone, so the shadow kills him, and is now unable to get the orb back from alexander,

free aggrippa ending, aggrippa goes through portal, presumably with orb, this leaves alexander and daniel with the shadow, same a let alexander go ending, except this time alexander also becomes a step to the orb, but after whatever happens to daniel, whether he is killed by the shadow or saved prior to by aggrippa or weyer is irrelevant, weyer can save him no matter what happened after aggrippa escaped, so now we have aggripa, weyer and daniel safe on the other side with the orb while alexander takes his place among the path of dead bodies that leads to the corpse.

does this makes sense? it is just how i understand it, if you can find any resonable flaws please tell me, because it makes sense to me, and just to re-illiterate, just because alexander and daniel say the shadow is after daniel, doesnt make it so.

Guradian is a nature/life force. He don't bloody care if you are guilt in sumtin (STEALING COOKIES, bug deal, death sentence!) or not. He just kilsl you if you touch the Orb. Simple as that.

i think you over simplified it a wee bit there...
