my take on @misssicknesss 's lovely template + some reasoning behind it on the tags bc i feel like. explaining myself (original below the cut)

[warrenwaskilledbyadeer]

Very depressed and anxious and feeling useless right now so I'm gonna try to cheer myself up by rambling about my favorite thing

OKAY SO I have this headcanon that I LOVE that Daniel indirectly causes every other Amnesia game, I love the thought of Daniel's stupidity causing all that horror for everybody

So for Justine, Daniel sent a letter to Mssr. Florbelle as one of the people he was begging for help with the Orb. And in the maze at the end of Justine one of the things written on the wall says, "What will that perfect sphere bring?" Obviously Justine and her dad have a soapstone which is why they got so obsessed with the human psyche to the point they were willing to do the kinds of things they did, but what if little child Justine was intrigued by what Daniel said about the Orb in his letter and started studying into it and is trying to find one for herself? She may even use her Cabinet of Perburtabation to see what kind of affect it has on people...

Machine for Pigs is obvious 'cause whether Daniel or Alexander is Oswald's great-uncle (personally I'm partial to it being Daniel since Daniel has a sister and Alexander has no siblings, also it's easy to see where Oswald's madness came from if he's related to Daniel) either way Oswald ends up with all of the papers that Daniel collected from the castle which is what put him on the scent of Orbs and vitae and then yeah

Rebirth is also kinda obvious in the way that Tasi is walking through Daniel's exact footsteps through Algeria (which was a spiritual experience for me when I played the game the first time) but that still wouldn't really cause the events. Nothing Daniel did caused Tihana to yoink that plane outta the sky. BUT there is a note in the game where the locals around Al-Mamaru fort say that many many years ago some archeological team came through looking for something better left undisturbed, and reawakened and released all the monsters that were trapped there SO bada-bing bada-boom if Daniel and Herbert hadn't gone to the Tomb, Tasi probably wouldn't have had to deal with any Harvesters SO IT COUNTS in my head at least lol

Supposedly The Bunker is going to take place in a German bunker (this is what I read in an early hands-on review) so we may be able to tie it to Daniel yet again I'm excited to find out
