Alan Wake/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

** Because Alan ''wrote him that way.'' It is implied that Agent Nightingale didn't even ''exist'' before Alan wrote him into the story.

*** Wait, wait, wait. Recap. You mean the game is a story within a story? Alan's trapped in his own book?

*** Erm, yes. Didn't you ''finish'' the game?

*** You don't even need to finish the game! When Alan and Barry are driving away from the lodge in Episode Four, Alan quite clearly says what Cauldron Lake does.

* On the subject of Agent Nightingale, where did he come from and what is his motivation? In some of the manuscript pages, it states that he knows something evil is in the town. How does he know this? Is it because the FBI has files on everything supernatural or something like that? Also, is he part of a sanctioned task force or has he gone rogue? There's really no explanation for why an FBI agent would randomly start hunting an author, except that Alan wrote it that way. But why would he write that?

** Alan wrote it that way because it gives him an external threat besides the Dark Presence. Outside of the manuscript, the FBI probably sent him because a certain famous author and his wife suddenly went missing for a week. Either that or two men went into a woman's trailer and didn't come out for hours - one page states that Randolph called the cops.

* Why is there revolver ammo in emergency boxes? I can understand batteries, or flare rounds, but revolver ammo?

** In case of bears or wolves. Also, the Bright Falls Sheriff's office is aware that weirdness happens around the town, and have taken precautions.
