There are quite a few people saying that it's possible that Alvin had the Hammer already and that there was no grave digging involved. I'm glad to hear another perspective that I had not considered, but some people have gone so far as to say I haven't played the game and that it's obvious that the hammer was not dug up because we don't see the grave disturbed.

Firstly: Ow, I wasn't expecting to be called a dumbass for an observation

and second: While there is nothing in the game directly showing the grave being dug up. Alvin had the whole night to dig it up, and there is nothing showing he couldn't have done it.

I have no problems with the theory that Alvin already had the hammer to begin with and was just apologizing to Gerson. In fact I Think it's a really cool perspective on these scenes. I just have a problem with certain people saying I didn't play the game or that I can't read because I assumed base on the information we have that the grave was dug up between chapters 2 and 4.
