DO NOT READ FURTHER UNLESS YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE ENTIRE GAME. CONSIDERING THIS WARNING I WILL NOT BE PLACING SPOILER TAGS AROUND INDIVIDUAL QUESTIONS BELOW AS EACH OF THEM CONSTITUTE MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T FINISHED MGS4.
I just finished the game for my second time and am planning on a review but first I want clarify certain aspects of the storyline that were muddled for me. So for those of you who have beaten the game I'd appreciate if you could clarify a few things.
1) We know the reasons for Vamp's immortality however I don't recall any explanation given as to why he was fighting alongside Ocelot? He and Ocelot were on conflicting sides in MGS2 and the first few chapters of MGS4 highlight the surprise of Snake when witnessing Vamps involvement with Ocelot's grand scheme. What were Vamps motives?
2) I understand Naomi's motives but why was she caressing Vamp prior to his fight with Snake and why did Vamp call her Queen (an obvious reference Fortune)?. The entire scene seemed like a throwback to Vamp and Fortunes relationship in MGS2 but I don't understand Naomi's importance or relation to either of those characters.
3) The ending dialog with Big Boss implies to me that Eva was aware that the corpse she was carrying was in fact the body of Solidus. Why did she then risk her life by walking into the flames of the burning corpse during the ending sequences of Act 3? If she wasn't aware of this then how did the mixup happen between Raidens delivery of what was ostensibly Big Boss' corpse?
4) Was it ever explained how Sunny was found and rescued and how Raiden ended up as a Cyborg Ninja? Dr Madnar was responsible for his exoskeleton but are the reasons for Raiden's deterioration ever adressed?
5) I realize it was implied and meant to be somewhat vague but what is your interpretation on why Raiden and Rose broke up following their wedding?
6) It turns out that Ocelot was essentially "faking" Liquids posession of his identity. The System at the time was not in tact and as a founding member of the Patriots he should have been aware that all original members minus possibly Zero were dead. Why and who did he mean to fool with this Hybrid of Liquid Ocelot? JD? Wouldn't Liquids control of Ocelots mind also erase the intimate and crucial information Ocelot posessed of the Patriots making his goal of destroying the organization needlessly complex?
