does anyone understand the story line for FEAR? I'm not very far into the game but so far, I don't understand where anything is going. Is this just going to end up being one of those senseless gory games or does it have some good plot later on...?

I'm about 14 hrs into it. So far its pretty good. I like the multiplayer better though.

Senseless gory IS WHAT MAKES A GAME GOOD!

Here is a story line that makes a resonable amount of sense however, I am still trying to find a better on.

"You, the main character, were the first prototype created in Armacham's Origin project. Fettel was your brother, as you were both conceived by Alma, a powerful psychic, who was put into a coma at the age of 8 (Harlan justifies this by talking about how miserable she was, having horrible nightmares, sensitivity to negative emotions, etc), and later impregnated with genetically engineered fetuses by Armacham. At the very end, you find out that Alma was the daughter of Harlan Wade (the CEO of Armacham) and the sister of Alice Wade (the woman you are trying to rescue at one point, but who is killed and fed on by Fettel later on). Basically, Alma was used as a maturation chamber for the Origin prototypes. After it was discovered that Alma could still psychically reach out to Fettel, despite being unconscious, Origin's directors decided to kill Alma, and seal her body in that giant sphere within the Vault. Even in death, obviously, Alma's psychic ghost/spirit is present, communicating with Fettel, causing him to take control of the soldiers, etc.

After the credits roll, Genevieve Aristide is heard making a phone call to the Senator, stating that the first prototype was a success. You can interpret this to be in reference to the main character. Knowing this, it is plausible that the entire point of the game was an extreme test of the prototype's abilities, and that Aristide, with the Senator's help, created the situation purposefully by re-opening the Vault. This isn't a far-fetched conclusion, as there was a message left on a phone within the game that stated Genevieve had called the Senator to bring in military troops. Under the guise of a hostage taking at the Armacham building, the Senator provided the prototype with ample soldiers to test his skills on. That soldier is you, and assuming you beat the game, you performed up to expectations."

I think that's a good one but my interpretetion was Alma as "new guy's" sister and Fettel as who knows what+hungry
