Why did no one tell Liquid he actually had the dominate genes? Part of the reason he is the way he is was because he believed he had the recessive genes therefore being the complete lesser version of BB.

Mantis should have been like "Actually dude you got all the good stuff and you're prolly a better solider than BB himself so you really got nothing to prove". Crisis averted?

Because it builds character, it kept him humble and made him work harder to get to where he was.

Its a inspirational story, Liquid Snake is stunning and brave. :)

They wanted him to try harder, so they told him from a young age that he was at a disadvantage.

I don't think anyone actually cared even slightly what he thought besides Big Boss who was the one deliberately lying. Also, I don't remember if it was confirmed or anything, but I don't think the idea is that Liquid actually got the dominate genes, it's that the recessive genes were actually the superior ones. Pretty sure Ocelot's wording is just "The inferior one won after all."

While we're on the spoiler train...

When exactly did Rose become AI rose in mgs2? She wasn't AI the whole time was she?

iirc, it was real Rose for most of the mission, but when everything started glitching later on, she was replaced with the AI version.

what I don't get is how Raiden ended up having any real connection with Colonel Campbell in MGS4, when in MGS2, the AI kept making a point of how Raiden never met the real one.

What's really interesting is that the baby she talked about while glitching into oblivion was real, so even if it was AI Rose for longer than that, it had her knowledge/memories/etc.

Thats what Metal Gear Solid: Rising is for. A game that stars Raiden between the events of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Its the game where he met Boris and rescued Sunny.

That's why I'm confused of when the switch happens if there is a switch at all. I think it was AI rose the whole time.

Normal Rose is ready to confess and gets cut off, then replaced by AI Rose.

I dunno, we see real Rose at the end, and their conversation wouldn't make sense if they hadn't interacted at all throughout the codec.

Yeah, Liquid got the superior recessive genes, Snake got the inferior dominant ones.

Why no one told Liquid? I don't remember too well but I think it had to do with Ocelot trying to use Liquid by making him believe he was the inferior one.

Raiden didn't meat the real one, but real Rose did know the real Campbell.

People always get this confused. They ain't talking recessive and dominate genes the way we understand them to be. No they separated the genes and took the ones that would make a good solider and gave them to liquid and solid got what was left over.

And that's why ocelot says the inferior one won. Cause solid shoulda been inferior cause he had none of the genes they felt made a good solider

I could see this happening, or that they met sometime afterwards.

Come to think of it, that was the last line she spoke before the Snake encounter, but the major discussion with the AI took place during the battle with Solidus, so you might actually be right. I don't remember if Rose said anything else during the purple worm in flap jaw space Colonel meltdown before that.

It's been at least 10 years since I played MGS2 also lol

I mean Liquid was about to kill Snake at the end of 1 before the Foxdie got him.
