Theresa - Conspiracy Theories *Spoilers*
I posted this in the Lionhead forums but I am really interested to hear people's thoughts.
* Note - this is not a debate about who Theresa is or what not. Just about her motives and how much of a role she really played in the games events.
I have to wonder if Lucien was not put into play by Theresa and nothing more than her puppet, much like your hero. She seemed to be subtly influencing all events from the very beginning. Why was she in Old town that day the merchant came through? Obviously she knew who you and Rose were and had to make sure you would buy the music box.
I am going to assume she also knew about Luciens craving for old world knowledge, and knew it would lead you to him. Perhaps Theresa even had a hand in Lucien acquiring old world knowledge. How deep of a role did she play. Could she have had something to do with Luciens wife and childs death? Setting Lucien down this path to begin with? Was your sisters and your hero's "death" a means to an ends?
Theresa's goal as you learn at the end, was ultimately the Spire itself. Awfully nice of Lucien to build it for her, since that is essentially what he did. She set you up to have reason to kill Lucien. She set Lucien up to become a fanatic to build the tower. You kill Lucien, she takes the tower. You get a wish, and your wishes basically undo the deaths she was responsible for anyway, except for the wealth option, which is pretty weak anyway.
There is also the question of Hammer's Father's death. It was apparent when you took her to wellspring cave she was not going to be any use as a pacifist, Theresa stated as much. How convenient that her Father was killed making her abandon her pacifist teachings and pick up a hammer.
There are a few holes to my theories of course. Such as why would Theresa need Luciens diary? Yet there is still much to support the theory that Theresa orchestrated many of the events and outcomes.
Thoughts? I am just putting this out there for opinions, for or against. Interested if anyone else felt this way or if I should have my name changed to Fox Mulder.
