Out of nowhere? Totally unexpected? What?

Come on. Even if you were on a total media black out for the game, basic mathematics would foreshadow what happened in the prolog.

This. I was waiting for what happened to happen because it was the only thing that would make sense. The way it was telegraphed ruined the surprise for me and thus the emotion I would have felt otherwise.

I expected the guy and his daughter to get out of the city, not for another human to take her life. I didn't know the game was like that. I know later on in the story things get pretty bad but not in the moment of escaping and finding hope. I would've never thought hope would be lost then.
