Revelations from Patch 4.56

[ChaoticCrimson]

From the way the alternate worlds have been presented - evolving separately since they split, with different cultures and races - I think it's logically very unlikely that we would encounter duplicate people. That's 12,000 years of every single person in your family tree finding the same partner - implausible to happen once, let alone for a whole group of people, especially when the world they live in is so different to the Source.

I'll be disappointed if we get alternate versions of people - it simply shouldn't happen unless the split was recent and the worlds are mostly identical.

From a realistic standpoint, you'd be very likely correct, and as I said there's no substantial evidence yet to suggest there even will be alt versions of characters. But this is also a fantasy setting, so I'm aware that "suspension of disbelief" does make these alts somewhat of a possibility. Either way, I have no strong feelings with whatever path they choose on the matter. However, I will be interested to see what they do with the story in either case.
