*Spoilers* The Torture Victims

[superluser]

We don't know if Daniel tortured only 4 people. There could've been plenty more we just didn't get to hear from.
I mean, would you want to hear 100 audio flashbacks, just to be sure he tortured 100 people?

I'm pretty sure he didn't kill 100 people unless there were some sort of secret breeding program we never heard about. 100 people don't just vanish. People would start asking questions, and then you'd get a major army marching on Castle Brennenberg.

Daniel wouldn't knowingly kill an innocent

What are you basing that opinion on? Daniel could have been a sociopath.

The arsonist definitely did set a man on fire

Says who?

Go into lang/eng/voices/flashbacks . Now play CH02L23_PrisonerDragged_07.ogg and then CH02L15_PrisonerCaptured_04.ogg . (for context, you might want to play CH02L23_PrisonerDragged_08.ogg as well)

The building was burning when he went in. That means that he might not have been responsible for the fire--he might even have been trying to rescue someone from the fire. Either he was lying to appease his torturers or (the more horrific possibility) his perception was distorted by the torture or the amnesia and he really does think he killed someone by walking into a burning building. I'm not sure if I caught that the first time, either.

Edit: Oh, wait. He said `why did he have to go in there' not `I.' I still prefer my alternate character interpretation.
