Douglas's Leg

Heather finds out why it's true that you shouldn't talk to strangers. Or look in mirrors, quite honestly.

Douglas's Leg

Post by ValTanner »

Okay, so, this is an odd, and maybe, stupid question, but it's always bugged me, and just the other day, one of my friends brought the question up again, so I have to ask...

How did Douglas break his leg in Lakeside?

The last time we see him in a healthy state, he's yelling at Claudia and basically undermining everything she believes. Now, we know she's not above hurting people (Vincent serves a great example to this). But, if she hurt Douglas, why wouldn't she just go ahead and kill him entirely? I mean, she'd already taken Harry. Douglas's life wasn't going to mean any more to Heather then Harry's did.

OR, perhaps, it was just some random monster. I mean, Douglas mentions that he can see the monsters, "And, that monster before? What the hell was that?" The thing that doesn't make sense is, if an monster did attack him, Douglas had his gun with him, so he must've shot it. If he did, wouldn't the monster's body be near him when Heather finds him...?

And, for that matter, how does he get himself onto the bench at the end...?

^^ Thoughts?

I always thought his leg was a result of some sort of scuffle with Claudia who simply left him for the monsters, as for him getting to the bench, he is a rather strong old man he probably just dragged himself to the bench to rest....

Claudia did pretty much fuck up his leg, but she's not going to kill needlessly. She only killed who she did to promote the God's birth. She DOES have a conscience.

Indeed, according to her bio in the walkthrough, which can now be found on the silent hill wiki (link in my sig) :mrgreen: that she is actually a nice person.

Claudia only kills the ones who really deserve to die in her opinion - Sinners like Vincent and dangerous opponents like Harry. Appearantly, Claudia didn't see Douglas much of a threat and simply told him to "leave and spare your life".

I'm pretty sure Douglas pointing his gun at her would be threatening enough for her to kill him rather than just wound him, after all he does point his gun at Heather while being so what would stop him from doing the same to Claudia and actually firing as she walked away?

As posted previously, she actually does have a conscience.

Maybe that's why Claudia chose not to kill him. Maybe she knew he was weak, and thought that he would finish Heather off. I mean, if he had shot her, then Valtiel would've just showed up and dragged her to the end. Hmm... Claudia was a crafty little thing...

He tripped on a plot hole.

Yeah that would be spam. Don't.

Don't feel obligated to respond to this, either, because you really don't have to. Or you shouldn't, rather.

I don't really think Claudia was aware Heather would be passing through Lakeside Amusement Park if for no other reason than she seems genuinely surprised when Heather gets there. It's also completely possible that she knocked Douglas out for a while, which would have kept him from shooting her as she walked away.

She mainly give the order as what she said when she killed Harry, so I think its one of the monster.

Uh, are you forgetting that she literally stabbed Vincent in the back--and then chest? Because she's a bitch on a mission, that's why.
