    Yeah, that's why I'm saying the memory wipe was a convenience. Because that way events could still play as they did before and the writers wouldn't have to write any additional material.

    I disagree with that. I personally think an altered timeline would've kept the story interesting. Just my two cents.

    An altered timeline would be interesting in its own way, but it is inarguably not the story the writer wanted to tell here, or they would have made it happen that way.

    And my two personal cents are that utterly rewriting the timeline at this late stage would be poor storytelling. It would be dropping every single plot thread that has built up, without resolution, and re-learning an entirely new world. As a story, it would be unsatisfying, and from a practical gameplay standard I don't even know how much of the world as we know it could exist any more.
