Talk:Metal Gear Solid 4 Database

Concerning the inconsistences...
I think I know why the database contradicts itself at some points. Since the MGS4 info is locked initially, the info that it does provide is based on the assumptions made before the answers were finally revealed.

For example, Solidus dying in MGS2, was the belief held by everyone, even Konami I would think, so to say otherwise in the database would risk spoiling the plot to MGS4. Hell, we might have caught onto the fact that the body in the pyx was actually his! Also, Raiden couldn't have severed Solidus's spinal chord completely or else he would have dropped dead right on the spot, or am I incorrect?

Anyway, the same point goes for Ocelot's possession by Liquid's spirit through his arm, which is what is heavily implied up until MGS4, so the database should stick with that explanation, but only until the MGS4 info is unlocked.

However, it doesn't entirely make clear everything that happened. For all we know, perhaps Liquids soul did actually take over Ocelot initially, until Ocelot regained some control and got rid of Liquids arm, then decided to adopt the story since it was a convenient cover. Just speculation though, after all, I am biased, since I wanted him to be, at least in some part, the real Liquid Snake.
