A theory about the game/film intermingling, concerning Tyrel
Posted: Fri Mar 16, 2007 6:35 am
A detail that always buggered me about Westwood's Game was the looks of Tyrell. As they scanned Mr. Joe Turkel's face in 1997 to produce the 3D model, in game cutscenes the character looked older than the Tyrell we see in film, despite both storylines happening at the same time fictionwise. This discrepancy always got a little bit of head shaking from the nitpicker I often am.
Today I was reading the Wikipedia entry on the game (in hopes to find any mention of the "Maggie the dog survives at the end" endscene mentioned in other thread) and while reading character descriptions, I had an insight. What if Clovis met the real Tyrell, but Roy met the infamous clone? Tyrell was alerted by Clovis attempt on his life, that more reps would come after him, and then proceeded to incept a (younger looking) replicant of his to use as a decoy to avoid assasination. That very same week, Roy came to visit. Tyrell survived.
I usually avoid going into this kind of reasoning out inconsistencies, but it just came to my mind all of a sudden, and I thought I'd share it. After all, inconsistencies gave us the Deck-the-6th-rep thing.
