This man tried to right all the wrongs, but the weight was simply too much for him to handle, the ask too big. His legacy was simply too much. This character study has us questioning our own morality, and why Walter was justified in his pursuit to destroy all the Coral and burn the last cinders.

Don't forget that Walter was "Reeducated" by the Vesper scientists.

​@@Ashewynat the same time they captured 621. Remember that Snail said they were going to take care of 'the dogs master' as well. Though it's also because of that re education he finally 'sees' Ayre, hence his last line after you knock him down.

@@Ashewyn yeah they gave Walter Gen 4 augmentation, which allows him to see Ayre at the end. It's incredibly tragic because he was subjected to the same type of horror that he wanted to stop.

@@Ashewyn It's why he speaks with such a delirium in your final battle with him. He's been brainwashed, but his conviction is fighting to try and get through it, leaving his mental state as a confused mess. He speaks of the corporation's wishes, but fights through and remembers that he's doing it for his fallen friends; but he's still following the directive set by the Vespers to eliminate 621 until his final moment as he recognizes 621 as a real human being that can make friends, not just a hound. Ayre is quite distraught about it during that fight. If it were not for Snail's interference, there might have been an opportunity to talk him down from igniting a new fire. But his last message to 621 is recorded just before he is captured, and 621 at that point still has no idea of the true conflict nor how to ethically gauge it. Like in most FromSoft games, they give you really hard moral decisions at a time before you have enough information to make a sound choice. And by the time that you would have that information, Walter's already re-educated.

It's tragic what happens to Walter in each ending. In the Fires of Raven ending, his legacy, his lifetime, of pursuing the end to the harm of Coral...ultimately leads to a repetition of the tragedy that shaped him. In the Liberator of Rubicon ending, he is scarred and tormented by Arquebus, then finds himself in a conflict against perhaps his closest companion. A conflict he can't bring himself to finish, despite his mental conditioning and the unbearable burden of the Institute. And when the die is cast, he isn't even there to see it.

Walter is a father in a way, a great one; his restraint shows his love for his "child" 621.

Yesss, another lore narration! I don't play AC, but the story and elements sound amazing! An particular fact that I found is about Walter's logo is you notice is hand, however, you can notice a bunch of strings around the wrist, meaning there's someone else that is also watching over Walter.

That’s so cool! How do you find yourself getting interested in the stories of games you don’t play? I don’t think I’ve ever watched lore videos for something I hadn’t played myself. Yes! I noticed his emblem too, I didn’t do a dive into it because I felt that was more relevant to his character in present day which I didn’t really investigate in this video as I just wanted to discuss his motivations that sprung from childhood. But very cool detail! I wonder who controls him

@@Ashewyn I am not much of a player myself, I am more like someone that likes watching others play. This depends about the game's content, like Genshin Impact and Bloodborne, what bring my attention to this games is the LORE and how this is present through the story, the character and the real aspirations.

Walter just doesn't see the past the dangers of coral and its potential, I will never align myself with Walter no matter his burdens and the horrors he witnessed in order to partake in the mission and becoming a part of the horror, like there's a reason following his instruction is called the bad ending, and as a honorable merc I wouldn't assist in the genocide of an entire alien species and the death of every Rubiconian just because they experienced first hand the dangers of coral, that's like discovering fire and getting hurt when touch and then destroying fire with rock not realizing fire is neither good nor bad it is simply potential and it is humanity that will inevitably decide whether they should accept it or not, it's not in his hands nor the overseers to decide the fate of humanity. They anticipated the coral to contaminate space but they didn't envision it to simply propagate in the vastness of space like in the true ending, where it doesn't actually harm anyone or anything it just spreads coral, and coral isn't bad by nature people simply used it the wrong way weaponizing it, making augmentation implementing it, making the Ibis series, and siphoning it to be sold as a resource when humans can achieve symbiosis slowly but surely with coral and we can co exist and come into an agreement to improve each other, they can propagate in space and serve as an endless fuel source for us like that mission to defend the Xylem against Arquebus ships where it constantly supplies us with endless boosts at the same time we can give them the opportunity to communicate with us and become a part of our world giving them mechanical bodies to serve as our helpers. Anyways the potential is endless, and thus sniffing out that potential is something I do not take kindly with just because some geriatric had a rough childhood surrounded by grim experimentations and internal conflict within the institute.

I believe, Walter learned through 621 that there was another way. He put aside his personal biases, and the pain he had to go though, because he saw hope in us. I respect that!

While I believe the fires of Raven ending is the most likely to be the Canon ending if fromsoft decides to continue this setting The Liberator ending is definitely the ending with the best outcome for everyone at least compared to the other two endings
