That's not what I'm talking about. The other Otherworlds are built on the same foundations, can connect to each other, and share similar laws. SH4 doesn't. It is "Apart from the World of Our Lord."Each Otherworld is a plane of its own, a creation of one respective person.
Yes it does. That's what the Abyss is.Yes, I completely agree with you on that metaphor, but the presence of Walters grave does not necessarily have to imply that he faced "his demons" or whatever it was that was haunting them.
Several people besides James sees the Abyss. It might not be something everyone faces, but everyone in that graveyard does. Walter is grouped with James, Eddie, and Angela for a reason. He may not have literally jumped in a grave, but the symbol has meaning.To say that Walter "faced the Abyss" would be implying that there is a steady modus operandi to be observed in Silent Hill.
Erm...what are you talking about? I'm not following you here. Especially with this Door To The Past thing?Just like how a mysterious middle-aged man installed the Door to the Past and chose William Gregory as the 9th victim 6 years before the ritual even began.
Just like how a mysterious middle-aged customer got Eric Walsh, the 10th victim, to run home one day (with news of a murder that was not yet publicly known) and Walter was waiting for him in his home.
I think there are more events running behind the scenes that are implied, but not fully noticeable in the game itself, as there is so much additional material.
Well then the second Walter used his own blood. Same difference. But his suicide-by-spoon is listed as satisfying the 11th Sacrament, according to all official sources that touch on the matter. Perhaps both "bodily halfs" are required for the True Flesh, who knows?No, he does not.
A corpse is drained of bodily fluids before he is put in a grave. That means the blood that has to be offered as the 11th Sacrament would be forever lost. He has to mix his blood with the White Oil and that of the Ten Hearts or there is no Ritual of Liberation for him.
A mystical split Walter from a previous Silent Hill adventure could have dug him up at the earliest, probably about a few days after he was put in the ground. That body would be useless for the ritual then.
The Creation Myth treats her as non-existent before being born. She probably just created herself in that moment of sympathy. It's not the first or only creation myth to have a deity create itself in response to something else.I think we really have a different idea of what that being born means.
For me, because God made the conscious choice to be born out of pity on the world, she existed before being born and was reached by the prayers. She was brought into this world by that pair by being born, but she was not created by that man and woman.
But it's kind of moot. Personally, I don't think the gods of Silent Hill actually exist, so I don't find the discussion of their traits to be all that meaningful.
