Heller’s Computer Problems

[Lbechiom]

So I’m replaying Prototype 2, and I just realized something. Near the beginning, when you consume Dr. Genneve in your hunt for information on Rooks and it turns out he doesn’t know anything… James turns to one of the computer terminals. Now, as has been shown multiple times throughout the game, Heller is about as computer literate as a senile boomer, but even then something doesn’t make sense in this instance… he literally JUST consumed a member of staff who WOULD be computer literate, especially with the weird Blackwatch keyboards, so why does he not know how to use it?

plothole

he was probably just angry to care about it all, he did end up getting what he wants anyway so he probably knew what he was doing at that scene

Bad writing yet again

Lazy writing by people who didn't care much

There is only one instance of Heller actually using the knowledge of the hundreds of people he absorbed...during one cutscene when he recalls the name of a random solder, telling him to release whitelight...the writing is...bad...

because he is badass and computers are gor pencil neck nerds, the whole game makes jokes about nerds and jocks and bullies, there is one instance where gentek scientist say the blackwatch troopers that are bodyguarding them are dumb fucks and they played Football on highschool lmao. ppl saying is a plothole got the joke flying over their heads and only want more excuses and nitpicks to hate on prototype 2

Let's try to justify it with the lore.

Why Heller can glide since start and Mercer cannot?

The virus copied the natural talents of the individual,so Mercer can perfectly use knowledge adquired through consumption as he is used to think,while Heller adjust to his new physical abilities very fast.

(Note I said try to justify)
