This is the answer to one of the questions. Or a story from a parallel universe.

OUTLAST2クリア記念

[crazy-obsessions-blog1]

Outlast Asks!

1. Original or DLC? At first I couldn’t decide, but I like the Whistleblower more

2. Favorite moment in the series? Hmmm... this is a hard one. Probably... when Waylon finally escapes Mt. Massive. That was such a happy and awesome scene.

3. Favorite character? My favorite variant is Rick Trager, and my favorite protagonist... I have no idea.

4. Least favorite character? Probably Jeremy. He’s fun to hate in my opinion, and he is the biggest jerk. He still does interest me, though.

5. Favorite ship? Lisa and Waylon, nothing beats Waylon’s love for his wife <3 6. Do you think you’d survive a night at Mt Massive? Yeah, I’d probably hide the whole time. 7. If you had to escape the asylum and you could only bring one item, what would you bring? My cell phone. It’s small, portable and I could call the cops if I got to a place that had good reception :D 8. If you could choose one character to be your ally, who would it be and why? Hm... out of Miles and Waylon, I’d choose Miles. I love his snarkiness. If I had to choose a variant, I’d choose Chris. I might like Trager more, but Chris is someone who even the other variants fear, so assuming he didn’t want to kill me, he’d be very helpful. 9. Who would you absolutely positively never ever want to be chased by? CHRIS. Chris is such a pain to deal with in the original Outlast game, and he’s freaking huge.

10. Would you be a Murkoff employee, a patient/variant, or someone from the outside who just happened to be so unlucky as to have stumbled into the asylum? Murkoff employee. I’d end up being like Waylon though... 11. Who had it worse overall, Miles or Waylon? Waylon. His horrors he went through were more intense and closer together. 12. Give your opinion on any three characters of your choice - Rick Trager is my favorite variant - Jeremy Blaire is a huge douche - I feel absolutely terrible for Billy 13. Any game theories? Nope. 14. Who is the most villainous character overall? Jeremy Blaire, definitely. 15. Who deserves a happy ending? Miles. 16. Who deserves a worse ending? Jeremy, actually. (His death was brutal, but after I found out how he betrayed Trager, I almost wish Trager would’ve been the one to kill him) 17. Pick theme songs for up to 4 characters Rick Trager - Money by Pink Floyd Eddie Gluskin - Poison by Alice Cooper 18. Do you prefer the spoof art or more serious art of the Outlast fandom? I like all of it, honestly. 19. What do you want to see in Outlast 2? Not sure. 20. Should Outlast be a movie, live action tv show, an anime, or should it just stay a game? I think it should just stay a game, but I would be interested in seeing a TV show or something based on the comics. 21. Any parts you couldn’t watch? I had trouble watching the part where Eddie tortured those two guys. 22. Given the choice, would you spend the night at Mt Massive? Yeah, why not? I’d just need to be careful. 23. If you could save anyone from death, who would it be? Trager, not just because he’s my favorite variant, but I do wish he could’ve got revenge on Jeremy. 24. How long would you last before you got your priorities straight and put down the camera (*cough* Miles *cough*) I probably wouldn’t put down the camera, because the night vision feature is very helpful. 25. Why do you think Miles gets shot in the end? (I’m really asking I genuinely don’t know) I have no idea... because Wernicke finds out that he was the new host of the Walrider after Miles got shot. 26. What do you think Miles/Waylon look like? I think of Miles having brown hair and a thin face, and I think of Waylon having at least a little Korean in him because of his last name. 27. What do you think any of the main Project Walrider candidates (Walker, Hope, Gluskin, Manera) looked like before being admitted to the asylum? We actually got to see Eddie before he went through the morphogenic engine, and Chris was in the comics, same with Billy, and Frank... before being committed, he was overweight... but other than that, I don’t know. 28. Do you feel bad for any of the variants? Yes, I feel bad for all of them except Trager. 29. How much of a dick do you think Jeremy Blaire was when he was younger (now we’re asking the important questions) He probably was still a pretty big douchebag. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jeremy was a psychopath, and that’s with you since birth. 30. Big, obvious horrors of the game (Walrider, Morphogenic Engine, all the blood, all the insanity) what do you think is the scariest thing about/in Outlast or any of the characters? The corruption in Murkoff. The fact that they turn patients at Mount Massive into monsters pretty much just for profit.

31. If you could say anything to any character, what would you say and who would you say it to? “You are one f**cked up person. You belong in this Asylum more than the people who are actually committed here.” Me to Jeremy Blaire.

OH MY GOD. I couldn’t stop laughing xD

[crazy-obsessions-blog1]

I had to burn it. All of it. Murkoff took so much from us. Used us. Turned us into these things because nobody cares about a few forgotten lunatics. So let it burn. Burn the whole god damned thing down. Get out.

Why Trager is My Favorite Variant + Why I Think He’s the Scariest Variant

I’ll start off by saying why I think he’s the scariest variant, because honestly, that’s part of the reason why I like him anyways. I was sitting here wondering what he was like before he became a variant, because all I knew was he was Jeremy Blaire’s friend and he was an executive that liked golf (nice prediction there, Miles). Oh, he was a lot more sinister than just that. First off, there was a mitigation officer, Pauline Glick, who worked for Murkoff. She was trying to investigate more into Mount Massive with her partner, Paul, and they stumble up Rick Trager.

They both knew something was off about him even though he tried to appear as friendly as he could. Pauline, wanting to get more information about Trager, asked him if he wanted to have dinner at his place with her, and he accepted. She found interesting stuff at his house...

Then, after she looked around his house, they started drinking some scotch together (he actually offered her cocaine at first, but she refused). She noticed a bitter taste in the scotch, however.

and literally, in the next frame, they go to a Murkoff Employee’s house, Michelle, and she lays this down

He raped her and thought he got her pregnant. And, this, here, is why he got committed (graphic pictures, but it is a comic book. I thought it was worth mentioning though).

Then he gets committed and becomes a variant, and everyone who’s played Outlast or watched a Let’s Play of it, know what he was like then. He was a very bad guy even before he got committed. Like, even Michelle didn’t have a psychsomatic pregnancy/false pregnancy and she had a real pregnancy, Trager couldn’t blame anyone but himself since he raped her. And he still freaking stabbed her in the stomach with scissors (nice touch by the way, since as a variant he uses huge shears as a weapon). He was also a corrupt business executive who didn’t care about the patients/variants at all. He was one of the people who benefited off of the patients becoming variants.

And finally, why he’s my favorite variant. I actually kind of like him more after I saw his back story. It gave him more depth and made him even scarier to me. I’m also a sucker for dark humor, which he delievers on quite nicely.

“Shh, shhh... You weren’t putting that tongue to good use anyway. Truth be told, I was tired of licking my own stamps.”

“Ooh, home movies.”

“Buddy!”

“Let me sell you the dream!”

He’s like a gold mine when it comes to dark humor. I also like how he still has at least somewhat of a grip on reality. He knows what’s going on around him, he knows exactly what he’s doing. He seems like he’s the variant with the best grip on reality. I definitely think he’s the scariest variant, and the only one I feel like really deserved to go through the Morphogenic Engine. He was even the executive of the Research and Development Team, which was responsible for the creation of Project Walrider in the first place.

He’s definitely an interesting character, even people who don’t like him have to admit that.

So true. Like, my favorite variant is Trager, and I freaking know he’s a bad guy. I consider him as the most evil variant in Outlast, but I love how he has such an interesting story behind him (and I am into dark humor....) but yeah, if Trager was real, I’d avoid him like the plague.

“DO YOU LIKE EDDIE??? OMG HE’S A KILLER!!!! A MISOGYNIST!!!!!!

“DO YOU LIKE VAL????? OMG HE/SHE’S A KILLER! A RAPIST!!!!!!!

First of all: THEY’RE FICTIONAL CHARACTERS???

I don’t think the fandom condone their actions and behavior??? They’re just…good characters. They’re well written and they have a good story. 

Calm down, guys.

The reason Outlast is such a good horror game story wise is that the real horror only happens if you have empathy for the people in the Asylum and know that the real monsters are the rich guys in suits who like money enough to hurt people and keep hurting people

Like the whole time Miles Upshur doesn’t say a bad word about the people in the Asylum, even the ones tryna kill him. The whole time he talks shit it’s either about the way the place isn’t fit for human habitation, how Murkoff is horrible, and he talks allllll the shit about Trager and Wernicke 

But when it comes to the guys actually actively tryna kill him he knows it’s not their fault and is even sad when Chris Walker gets killed

He was always “fuck this place” and never “fuck these inmates”. Never. The only inmate he hates is Trager because Trager deserved it and because he was a torturer long before he was an inmate. 

And that also helps with understanding why Miles doesn’t fight back even when he has, like, parkour skills enough that you know he got upper body strength

1) he doesn’t wanna die, obviously, but also 2) he doesn’t wanna hurt the inmates. He’s fighting Murkoff, not them. 

The real reason Outlast is so good is because its driving factor is empathy, and that’s why a lot of people love it. Miles’ empathy brings him into the asylum and keeps him from just picking up a weapon and hurting the inmates, Waylon’s empathy gets him trapped in the first place. The lack of empathy is what made the Asylum so awful in the first place. And I love it when enemies are still human, and so so very sad, even when they’re scary and violent, because it gives layers and levels to a game that you don’t see in other horror.

I suppose Father Martin wanted you to spread the word.

Am I right, or am I right?

That man’s preaching a dead gospel.

The thing about our new product is, is it’s gonna sell itself!
