Don't get me wrong; MGS1's message of "you are not defined by your genes" (by which Kojima means the circumstances of your birth) is genuinely great, but Liquid ranting about how he got all the recessive genes from Big Boss is mathematically impossible and also doesn't make him inherently worse than Solid. Even more hilarious is the fact that Solid, who's revealed to have the recessive genes of Big Boss, somehow looks exactly like him, which begs the question of how Liquid's dominant genes exist at all if they're not expressed in Big Boss.

even though idk if it makes less sense, iirc, Liquid received Big Boss' recessive genes, but received the "Soldier Genes", and Solid received his dominant genes but no "Soldier Genes"

My understanding is that Abstergo is taking volunteers who happened to have history linked to the Assassins instead of it just being one guy with a strong lineage. Though I haven't played Origins and Odyssey yet so I dunno what those games are doing. --- Game collection: http://www.backloggery.com/bakonbitz Gaming channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwVQm69J7bGScbv3_50C0dA ...

Liquid and Snake have the exact same character model except for hair. And is Liquid screeching wrongly about genes surprising? The genome soldiers in game are mentioned to be made by altering their dna to expressed genes they found in Big Boss that made for the perfect soldier. It's not just recessive genes>dominant genes, And also Liquid still does have receive expressed traits, not the dominant ones. He was just mistaken that they weren't the better ones. ...

Didn't they abandon the whole "your genes" thing after AC3 and now it's just whoever you want? Not from my understanding. In 4 they established that Abstergo had taken DNA from a bunch of volunteers (and since theyre an evil megacorp its easy to believe that they targeted people based on their history). So every game since Syndicate (in 4 youre still playing Desmonds ancestor) has been playing through somebodys memories, and the DNA was damaged in Odyssey, allowing you to be either Male or Female. --- Slow and steady wins the race ...

Yea, that's more or less what I meant. You're no longer playing through your own ancestor's memories and it's just whatever blood is loaded into the machine, which functionally can be anyone. So there's no longer necessarily a personal connection between the future and past characters. Did they also abandon the whole "you pick up skills from the lives you're reliving" thing like how Desmond started to gain assassin abilities just by reliving his ancestor's memories? --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

So there's no longer necessarily a personal connection between the future and past characters. Im not sure about that one. I dont remember that being much of a plot point in AC4-Syndicate since those were video game style simulations the player was experiencing.

Solid and Liquid were genetically manipulated to be the way they are, Solidus was a control, math had nothing to do with it. I've never understood the problem with Solidius. Solid is genetically weaker than Big Boss Liquid is genetically stronger. So a perfect clone of Big Boss is referred to as chemistry term for the state of matter between the two.
