I hear that too, and a lot of people don't notice it. I brought it to my friend's attention, and he said its probably nothing significant. It would be cool to play on a jail map. It doesn't sound like chains, but a key chain and he was locking up a metal door, but to what?

I don't give about Maxis. Maybe he's good, maybe he's bad. All I know is, Richtofen's a boss, so I'm gonna help him. Besides, if he does take over the world, he will spare the group so they could help him more.

I originally posted this as a response on this thread. Have fun. viewtopic.php?f=139&t=28898&p=278617#p278617

For those of who don't click the link and want more information, here you go.

Richtofen wants your helpto complete his agenda, BUT at the same time, he is still playing his game. So the question is HOW can he expect you to help him?

Good question.

This is because he only speaks to Samuel. He has leverage over Samuel because he has eaten the flesh of a zombie, and he does not want the rest of the group to know. Therefore, Richtofen threatens Stu by telling him he will tell the group about the flesh he has eaten. This is the ONLY reason he ONLY talks to Samuel to get the EE done. It is not a matter that Samuel is special, it is a matter of Richtofen having a bit of leverage on him.

Now, because of this, Richtofen, while being the being of their destruction, is also the voice of salvation to Samuel, therefore due to this leverage and the fact that, you know, Samuel would rather not die, he listens to Richtofen's instructions.

TL;DR- There is nothing special about Samuel. Richtofen merely has leverage over him because of his choice to eat The Flesh, because Samuel doesn't want the rest of the group to find out, so he is forced to do Richtofen's bidding.

Thoughts and debate about this are welcome.

I agree with all but the reason why Richtofen chose him. I think Samuel was exposed to 115 from eating a zombie, so he can hear Richtofen like a zombie. Of course, Edward will take advantage of this to complete his master plan.
