u/Old-Scallion-3880

I got the first ending and i have no idea of what the lore of this game is. Is this intentiona? what did the ending mean? should i just watch a lore explanation video?

I just finished ep 3 but i'm still a bit confused on some things

- What is the TV world?

-If the house is the whole universe where hc takes place, where did the pythias come from?

-Is the charlotte in ep 1 and 2 V19?

-If charles is the real god, what is the oracle?

-If you talk to scarlet in the ending it says "scarlet/charlotte". How is she also charlotte?

-What even is C? in ep 2 he says he's the god of this world, but then it's revealed that he's a false god and he's just a normal person???

-What are seth and lilith? i know they are puppeters but like we never get to learn anything more about them

Could someone clear these things out for me? this game was so confusing

I'm like 1h in hc3, but i literally didnt understand a single thing of what happened in ep 1, 2 and 3... what is a oracle? why did charlotte become a god in ep 2? what even is the umbrella man and all of the people in the house? does everything get explained later?

Nier replicant is my first nier game. I just finished it and i loved it, but some things were a so confusing to me.

1. If the shades are gestalts who failed to reconnect to their respective replicas, wouldnt everyone have the black scrawl? why do we only see yonah and the king of facade sick?
2. what was the shadowlord's plan? i dont think this went over my head since the game really never explained it. i know he's the protagonist we see at the beginning, but how did he turn into that?
3. How did the protagonist accidentally destroy humanity? i've seen many people saying this

4)In the intro we see yonah with the human protagonist. i get that the protagonist was the shadowlord but what about yonah? is she like 1400 years old? i dont get it

Are these questions explained in the previous games?

I just finished the game and i have some questions:

>!-If Mark's mom and Jake's objective was to bring nicole and mark together so that they could help each other and not feel guilty anymore, why did the timeline reset again leading to the true timeline? how is mark living happily without ever meeting nicole?!<

>!-Why did Cathy die/disappear in every single timeline except the true timeline?!<

>!-In a scene during the ending we see Ridel and Mark running in the woods to find Cathy. Was this the scene before cathy got hit by that truck in the true timeline?!<

>!-Why has the damage caused by the ruling become progressively worse with each time they closed a hotspot?!<

Sorry if these are dumb questions but this game was a bit confusing to me
