    Troy Baker really gives everything when he’s playing a character because Higgs is honestly one of my favorite characters in this game and that’s partly due to the amazing performance that Troy gave all through out plus his character design is fucking badass

    As I get older I realize just how terribly cruel the punishment Fragile experienced really is. I can't imagine the psychological dissonance Fragile would experience due to her body being transformed into such a state. I think it's actually one of the most effective stories of body horror around and that Cronenburg would be very impressed.

    There's actually a bit of Japanese folklore in Higg's methods as well: In Shinto there is the Onmyoji, a person who was able to control the spirits of people by various means. One of best ways was by the use of gold. And in order to control those spirits they often had to do some pretty heinous stuff

It shows he got dooms there, also said that it was fading away after, but he knew how to get it back... to kill people. It shows he did have some measure of doom abilities before meeting amelie, right. She just expanded his powers basically.

    in all honesty, Higgs is likely the most mysterious character still... while everybody else got their backstory chapter, he didn't; only a few dialogues from amelie and fragile at best. Have high hopes for him to get his true spotlight in DS 2, especially cuz he's fucking troy baker. Some people say he's "a cliche" villain and/or "underdeveloped", but, after the ending, it becomes pretty clear to me that this was just some sort of prologue arc to his character, to give him actual motivation to get his revenge against amelie (who straight up used and discarded him like a peon just to get to sam) and possibly sam/bridges too

    as you said that Amelie had given him power I don't think she is much conflicted, what does she want?
    she is just using Higgs to do what she wanted. She doesn't want her hands to get dirty, she even takes her powers back when he loses. to her, Higgs is just a piece of whatever game she was playing. Higgs's troubled nature makes him an easy target for Amelie probably. About fragile, I think she still got the bad end, pretty face but the old body. I think it tells the story of how some people can advantage of your insecurities ( i think Higgs wanted something of names like a hero or something like that) and make you do their bad deeds portraying you as an evil villain on their behalf. that's all I seem to understand...

    about " extinction" I was like " bro look around you this place looks like an apocalyptic nightmare that's already faced 3 extinctions. And you want to f*** it up even more. "???
    The rule about extinctions is that there is always new life that forms afterwards. The earth has faced many extinctions yes but higgs logic was flawed
    And fragile was innocent and had nothing to do with his problems. She even helped him. Truly something mentally " wrong" there 🧐😟

A selfish lady, heck her president body was using babies so what could a person expect. So when I finished the game for the first time, I grew to dislike her a lot.

      It's a mission in the ruined factory. I don't think the mission is exclusive to the DC, as it contains some fairly important backstory. Could be wrong though. You need to go to the Distribution Centre West of Capital Knot and accept a specific order to trigger the mission.

      It's been ages since I played it, but I think it's the formula for the Higgs Boson particle? Or something like that
