An animal. He's a hunter.

When does it say he is a hunter? And jeez that's not exactly skinning the thing he is cutting it vertically.

Uh...it's pretty clear that he's a hunter since he has a goddamned trophy room.

Chalk the overly gory dissection to Homecoming just being unnecessarily "edgy" and "gory" and "action-y."

Harsh? I wasn't trying to be harsh, sorry.

Apparently I sound like a dick sometimes, even though I'm trying not to, so unless I'm making it very very obvious, please assume I'm not being angry with you, lol.

I can see this topic is starting to become sexual. I'd like to be involved.

My reaction to this thread: :shock: uh. well. okay.

Also, at some point in the game, the "secret room" is actually referred to as the "hunting room" though I forget where exactly it is. Chances are it was a deer he was cutting up to prepare.

And Aura's cynicism aside, it's another scene to show Adam's obvious dominance over Alex and further establish his role as the alpha male.

I can get that from the rest of the scene, but not exactly the complete butchering of the animal. Or are you implying that Alex's memory might've exaggerated it?

It's possible. After all, it's one of the very few scenes we see explicitly from Alex's eyes, and he does seem to focus on the butchering for a few good seconds before anything actually happens in it.

Though, the butchering of the animal is a dramatized display of/symbol for power and dominance in and of itself, as well. I don't think it's exaggerated, so much as emphasized for that reason.

Right. Either way, can we agree the scene doesn't seem to be explicitly literal (like most of, if not all of, Alex's memories?)
