I would have gladly accepted plenty of explanations, so long as they were supernatural explanations. Hell, I would have preferred BY BELIEVING IN YOURSELF REALLY HARD to meteors.

Actually (spoilered but not really important to the plot) There is plenty of types of cosmic radiation that haven't been tested and usually have a rather high or low EM factor. If ghost in this game are Electro Magnetic entities (which would explain telephone movement and why they dissipate during the day) it could be logical to state that the radiative energies could resonate with the ghosts EM spectrum allowing for increased ability. however this is purely theoretical

$4?! Where the hell did you people buy it?

I mean I only had to pay 30 bucks and that was a great deal for such an excellent game, but come on.

And I saw a lot of the plot twists coming yes but they were still EXCELLENTLY handled.

My favourite thing about the game is at various times, it seems to have the old Phoenix Wright problem of "stupid things happening for plot/game convenience", but later it turns out that THEY ARE NOT STUPID AT ALL. Everything is explained except for why Yomiel can suddenly manipulate inanimate objects in the submarine... I thought he could only possess organic things? If so, why can he turn into a pile of rubble with a grabby claw that saves Lynne?

It's $29.99 where I'm planning to buy it. I have a $25 gift card. So.... $5 technically.

Okay nevermind then, if it's that much then my priority is shifted back to Mass Effect 2 for PS3.

I know this was posted a while ago, but it was never actually answered so I'll do that now. He could always maipulate inanimate objects, too. Remember him knocking the gun out of Cabanela's hand with the lamp?

Then why did he ask Sissel to do his own inanimate manipulations? There was plenty of room (and time, since transportation is instantaneous) for Yomiel to launch the egg, then skip back to save the girl.

Still an outstanding game, though.

He wasn't originally there to help. If he wanted to, he could have just manipulated his body from the start, dropped the gun, and turned himself in. When he finally did decide to help, Sissel refused to travel back in time again so Lynne wouldn't have even an alternate-timeline memory of dying there.

END GAME SPOILERS: They don't actually dissipate in the morning. Also, Missile can't use the telephone movement system. So yeah.
