It's more of a groundhog day deal, so you're going back whether you want to or not.

When dealing with time travel stories, do you prefer alternate diverging timelines where the universe is constantly branching off in different ways, singular unified timelines where regardless of what happens everything stays in a single constant time flow regardless of what happens to it, or predestination/cyclical where the events of the future specifically shape the past into what it is in order to shape the future and influence the past

One of my friends can not wrap his head around single time line time travel stories because he just can't accept that free will might not be a thing. That's also the type I tend to like though because it's usually the cleanest.

I don't like the predestination ones, they're by far the most confusing.

I know QFG2 has disowned everything relating to BS, but I find myself saying that Taco Time is the easiest way to explain how Breath of the Wild can take place in all three timelines simultaneously.

There's a thought experiment I've read before that I'll try recreating here, regarding single-timeline theory: Say you invent a time machine. You also hate your life, and wish you were never born. You go back in time to kill your own grandfather before he conceived any kids. Proponents of a predestined, single timeline will say, "You can try, but you will fail, because your grandfather did meet your grandmother, and their child eventually gave birth to you. So you will not kill your grandfather because you did not kill your grandfather." So you'll kill the wrong person, or you'll die before completing the deed, or change your mind. Now, since you managed to create a time machine, it's possible to travel through time, so let's say that lots of people filled with existential dread also created their own time machines. Hundreds of time travellers go back in time to kill their grandparents. Will each and everyone one them fail? Kill the wrong person? Die before completing the deed? Change their minds? All of them? Because I would love to see that, throngs of time travellers falling onto rails, getting hit by cars, tripping over ledges

Timecop rules. If you're travelling and you change something, other people are affected but you're unchanged, since you're out of time.

I prefer time travel stories to be done the Dark Souls way. Everything that's going to happen when you go back in time already has had its effect on the present- the necessary element is you going back in time in the first place to do it. Nothing changes when you get back, and the goal of going back in the first place is not to change the future.

The bit in Titanfall 2 where you get the wristband that lets you blink back and forth between the past and present is incredibly cool. I mean the fact that Titanfall 2's single player campaign was actually as high quality as it was is impressive enough but in a game designed to make you feel like an empowered badass that bit might have been one of the best moments.

StrixNebulosa posted:Objection, Legacy of Kain was badass! LoK was awesome but I don't think it was about predestination so much as it was that time and causality itself was a living, breathing, reactive thing which was super awesome. "History abhors a paradox" is one of those moments that will stick with me forever. Such a cool idea, and so well executed.

That was a legit good single player mode and I'm surprised it wasn't thrown together just to tick a box. StrixNebulosa posted:Objection, Legacy of Kain was badass! I love the overdramatic lore of that series.

Yeah, Kain mixed and matched it's time travel concepts. I mean there's certain aspects with predetermination but there's also parts where you do something and end up in a different timeline. It's not a single timeline thing like something like Interstellar where the plot only makes sense if there's one timeline where all the time travel aspects need to have always happened for the plot to work.

All the foreshadowing for stuff that doesn't happen until later games is cool in Soul Reaver, even though it's only there because all that stuff was supposed to happen in that one game before it got cut short.
