Why does the FBC insist on putting their coma patients in these incredibly impractical set ups?

72

u/LordFiresnake 1d ago

In Dylan's case I think it was to keep him contained if he were to wake up and for Jesse they might've either still had the whole set up around the corner as well as this room seems to have been unaffected by most stuff happening in the Oldest House, so what safer place to put the director than in a black rock lined, blast protected, easily guardable room

23

u/Bettyboopgangsta 1d ago

Totally. I guess I’m looking more at the bed. It doesn’t look like it has the ability to adjust like a hospital bed and the pad is so thin. I’m so worried about both of them atrophying

24

u/CurtCocane 1d ago edited 1d ago

Dylan was pretty ripped and completely mobile after his coma. Don't think the rules apply to them

18

u/_tabbycat123 1d ago

There's even a document about it iirc, it's like "he should not be this fit"

9

u/ManagementShort6208 1d ago

yeah i read that same document. his muscle mass never dropped i think it said. wouldnt make much of a main character if he couldn't walk when the game started i guess.

11

u/_tabbycat123 1d ago

Remedy made a jab at that in the day-1 patch;

[We addressed] Dylan’s overall combat strength early on in the game not feeling powerful enough (even if the man just woke up from a coma).

2

u/Bettyboopgangsta 1d ago

That is totally fair 😂

2

u/Earendos 1d ago

All the actual medical beds are probably down in medical wing which is hella mold infested.

15

u/NadiedeNingunlugar 1d ago

You can't use modern technology inside the Oldest House.

7

u/DirtyDanChicago 1d ago

To be fair, we've never really seen the Oldest House in a *normal* state. We've only ever seen it in the most fucked up of situations.

5

u/xEtownBeatdown 1d ago

I do agree this does feel like she's getting the ultimate disrespect treatment but to Jesse's credit she's a Parautilitarian and could probably wake up and start floating around if she wanted to, so that eliminates the need for a fancy set-up...but the Director deserves better

u/Schmitty1106 1d ago

My yuri is confirmed, but at what cost….

26

u/Jax11111111 22h ago

Control finally has doomed yuri

56

u/LimpetsBride 1d ago

Antonia Bernath deserves a nomination at the GotY awards for that scene alone.

38

u/TheWorclown 1d ago

Honestly her delivery all through Resonant was so good: exhausted, hyper focused, stumbling over herself to try and get her thoughts back on the present conversation, and sounding like she’s been on the verge of a manic breakdown for some time now.

And then you have those moments of lucidity when all of these ideas meld together and Pope has that spark of enthusiasm she had in Control because her theories are coming together to do something. Like her research project in Unknown.

11

u/potatoman604 1d ago

Very well-put!! I thought the same about the research quest in the Unknown too; I could hear enthusiastic scientist in her voice 😭

4

u/djerk 1d ago

I really hope she can keep it together mentally, it’s really dangerous to have a mental breakdown in the Remedy universe…

29

u/ivallinen 1d ago

There better be a DLC soon I cannot wait another 7 years for more of this shit. Also Antonia did a superb job with this game. She needs her flowers...

1

u/DonutHoles4Ever 21h ago

DLC wont resolve this.

And you'll have to play Alan Wake 3 to get a whiff.

2

u/ivallinen 16h ago

I'm doomed as I cannot stand Allen Wake (I can't do jump scares)

18

u/Eliaskar23 1d ago

I'm sure they're just good friends.

12

u/Verthanthi 1d ago

Just gals being pals

1

u/Marqbounta 14h ago

And they were roomates!

48

u/Neptune-Jnr 1d ago

Why doesn't Dylan stab her with the Aberrant that's been proven effective for waking up coma patients.

35

u/Hohoho-you 1d ago

I think they mentioned this. That Jesse's coma type is different from Dylan's, since she is basically somewhat conscious and it would be risky to try and attempt it

33

u/KPDover 1d ago

Emily's like, "No, you are not stabbing my girlfriend with a stick to 'see what it does'! Get out of here, Chaos Faden #2!"

4

u/CharacterGazelle2493 1d ago

Yeah I think it’s a dialog option once Emily moves back to the lobby after a bit (I had to go do a couple side missions before she was back there).

18

u/PM_ME_UR_CUDDLEZ 1d ago

We still don't know how Jesse put the Board out of the house into the Aberant

14

u/hermiona52 1d ago

After the ending there are three new documents pinned to Emily's board, one of them is a picture of the Nail. I bet it's foreshadowing for the DLC.

7

u/xPathofChaos 1d ago

We also still don't know why the board agreed to this setup, I assume it was their idea. They probably offered to resuscitate Dylan in exchange for getting the hell out of the astral plane before it got patterned

1

u/PM_ME_UR_CUDDLEZ 19h ago

The other thing is The Board Actually didnt to kill the Hedron in the end

3

u/DonutHoles4Ever 21h ago

Its simple:

Jesse: "Im going to do this incredibly dangerous thing where we end the lockdown and I go into a different dimention to stop the Hedron"

Board: "Stupid/as/fuck"

Jesse: "You guys should enter this cool item here and I'll hand you to my brother"

Board: "Better/ok/STAB HIM"

Jeese: "well you dont have to ask me twice LOL"

12

u/nanaochan 1d ago

There's a lot of things Jesse can do where Dylan can't. She can bind OoP and can switch place with him when he died. Dylan also tried switching place with her but he failed. Dylan's ability is probably different from Jesse's.

10

u/Bork9128 1d ago

Jesse stabbing then has proven effective

6

u/Neptune-Jnr 1d ago

Put it in Jesse's hand and then have her stab herself.

5

u/xPathofChaos 1d ago

Post game dialogue with Pope covers this 🙂

1

u/Neptune-Jnr 1d ago

Okay but it would still be fun to get Dylan his lick back.

2

u/_tabbycat123 1d ago

The Abberant seems to already be bonded to him, it may not work on Jesse.

25

u/potatoman604 1d ago

Join us at r/fadenpope to talk about them 😭😭

12

u/Bebopshadow 1d ago

Remedy will answer for their crimes

31

u/Awake00 1d ago

Bro it's going to be so long until we get another control game. What they need to do is throw all lore aside and let us play resonant as Jesse and the original control as Dylan. I don't care if it doesn't make sense. I would love that

23

u/CathanCrowell 1d ago

I believe that Control is the only game where it can makes sense.

8

u/Awake00 1d ago

Damn you're right. It wouldn't break lore at all

3

u/xPathofChaos 1d ago

I had actually hoped ng+ was going to be where we got to play as Jesse. Boy was I in for a shock

0

u/Awake00 1d ago

What happened? I just beat the game this morning but have some shit to clean up.

3

u/ajdragoon 1d ago

“Control & Knuckles”

2

u/TheMusicalTrollLord 1d ago

New funky mode!

1

u/ajdragoon 14h ago

Feat. ~~Dante~~ Darling from ~~Devil May Cry~~ Research Dept.

4

u/qwerty456b 20h ago

Gotta say, had my single ass smiling when she talked about going to the quarry with her. Cute af

6

u/LingonberryOwn7017 1d ago

We need Alan Wake 3 to reunite Alan with Barry, and Control 3 to reunite Jesse and Emily!

3

u/OnyxBaird 1d ago

Maybe this part of the spiral moment from Alan Wake 2. Dylan started the game in a coma and now Jesse is in one. Can he bring her back the same way she brought her back?

2

u/xPathofChaos 1d ago

There's always hope.

1

u/HamiltonDial 19h ago

There’s dialogue with Pope that mentioned stabbing her with Abberrant would not wake her up. So unfortunately no, but really glad that they put that in.

2

u/Pet_Insurance 11h ago

They shoot her in the head with the service weapon but she actually dies and they have to deal with the trauma of killing her and it's very melancholic and there's no combat

2

u/TenthBasilisk88 1d ago

Kinda parallels the first Alan Wake's ending.

1

u/Sea-Manufacturer-358 18h ago

For some reason during this heartfelt scene I literally walked Dylan out and then put him immediately behind a curtain like he was eavesdropping. It felt too personal for him to just stand there while Pope poured her heart out.

1

u/Possession_Loud 15h ago

Maybe it's NOT a thing but... why is the floor near the bed mopped and you can see the streaks still?

1

u/lalastar_paradise 11h ago

well Ahti wanted to visit his assistant, no big deal.

1

u/schmittfaced 5h ago

i wondered that too... like more than I was paying attention to the fact that Jesse was now in Dylan's ComaBed, I couldn't' stop thinking about that mopped spot on the floor still being wet. maybe for DLC, it'll be like the Dark Place wet floors from AW2, and Ahti will show up to check on his assistant
