Even if it was Donna from he beginning, Hermes could not possibly know her name.Or that's what the commentary said, although even he suggested we don't think too hard about it. I think the implication was that it was always a Donna corpse, and he just played around with the hair color before cloning her, not knowing it would make her look like somebody else.Why and how did Hermes have a Goal corpse if she never died? Was he planning on pulling the Bait-and-Switch with Donna from the beginning?.This could especially be an issue in Doomsday, as Elysium could have crashed into Utopia because they had no rockets to counter their momentum to land.They could even just use Orion Pulse engines to take advantage of the bombs. It would be exponentially more efficient to just build rocket engines. Why exactly does Elysium want to blow up Deponia to catapult themselves to Utopia as opposed to building a rocket? It would take a massive amount of energy to blow up Deponia, and nearly all of the energy in the explosion would be wasted and not hit Elysium.The machine he "respawns" at appears to be built for disposing of failed prototypes as well as creating new ones, reinforcing that possibility further. This might be a case of Dreaming of Times Gone By, given that Rufus was a prototype clone likely created within that very room, which would make it the first thing he saw in life.But they can't be completely canon for one or two reasons that shouldn't have to be said. Are the tutorials canon or not? Rufus seems to recognize their setting as "hell" when he arrives there in Goodbye, which implies that they're at least a little canon.You can always hope that they stumble on it someday, though.Rufus was actually the only one who knew where it was.Assuming travel back to Deponia is restored, why not just locate and use the cloning facility to get Rufus back? Cheap, yes, and he wouldn't have the memories of everything that happened in Porta Fisco or the highboat, but better than nothing.The more cloning you do, the more mass is slowly lost, so the fewer clones you wind up with in the end. I was under the assumption that "recycling" biomass of bodies would never give you back as much material as what you started with.Why did Hermes and Rufus need to kill themselves for biomass? Donna's body was shown to still be on the cloning platform when the Rufus clones emerged, so why not use hers? Heck, there was enough to have *five* Rufus clones running around! Two of those killed themselves and were recycled for cloning biomass. Rufus cloned Hermes in triplicate to persuade him there was still hope.Most likely Donnas hair was red all along and she just dyed it purple.Why did Hermes dye Donna's hair orange, and somehow make it so her hair is still orange when she is a baby?.Maybe they're popular ways to prevent mental illness or improve your memory or something like that. From the way Doc was talking about them, it sounds more like a fad that someone can have done to them than a common thing, so it's likely Goal had it done to her rather than originally being made on a computer, and not everyone has one. It's been a while for me but it seems like it's literally someone's mind (save, perhaps, for the parts like breathing and your heart beat) stored on a disk rather than on your actual brain.How do the brain implants work? Does everyone have them? Is the real Goal someone who was programmed in a computer or something and placed in a Goal body?.Maybe there was a little bit of travel between Deponia and Elysium? Well, presumably the rest of the Organon weren't around when Cletus was born, since he was a prototype to them.On another note, how did Cletus get to Elysium to live out his childhood in the first place? Rufus and Argus's origins are explained, as they were adopted by Seagull and Ulysses, respectively, but, unless there's an optional dialogue hidden somewhere, there's no explanation as to how Cletus would go from the cloning lab all the way up to Elysium, especially with the travel restricted as it was by the Organon.Cletus hates Rufus, but he hates being made a dupe of more and decided to take his opportunity for revenge. When he saves Rufus in Goodbye, it's because Argus betrayed them both.If he thinks he can get away with genocide without her knowing, he goes through with it, but if not he can be persuaded to do what she wants. Which instance do you mean? Although every time, the answer seems to be "He loves Goal." Or at least 2/3 of her.
