MondayNight Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 The binary spells "too late too late too late" apparently. Also the experiment giving birth to WX seems to be either merging of a human and AI with "cyborg-ification" adjacent process, or enhancement of a human with mechanic & electronic elements via (Constant's) dark magic perhaps - of which Wagstaff was no stranger. It likewise could explain in somewhat scientific, in-game lore vein the "They" plural as parallel consciousnesses/minds resulting from the "cyberification" - aka more than 1 processing unit (in tune with modular components).

lakhnish Posted April 14, 2022 Author Share Posted April 14, 2022 What I find most interesting is that it wasn't solely Wagstaff that made WX-78 but also someone else.

Szczuku Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Now that's a proper way to write a backstory. WX inserting their own words into what seems to be an article-like text 'corrupted program'-style is cool and the binary spam of 'too late' is kinda like in those 'analog horror' videos Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/139119-wx-lore/#findComment-1557837 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PunkShark Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I think its only made this way to make it hidden until the actual rework is out. they did the same with Wolfgang's compendium page about maxwell and blanked it out until release.

Eggsterminator Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Something doesn't add up. Are we really talking about the same Robert Wagstaff? The guy who didn't even hestitate to steal the power of the Alter and was all excited about starting the apocalypse in Hamlet...? I'm not sure if you could even use the excuse "But it wouldn't affect the real world" Half the stuff he examines he literally wants to bring to the real world, so either Wagstaff has a less deranged clone. it's his past self- Or WX-78 would simply be godlike overpowered that even he would fear. Idk lol. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/139119-wx-lore/#findComment-1558025 Share on other sites More sharing options...
