[QUOTE="Wolfstorm, post: 82591, member: 612"] Deja Vu implies you had saved during sleep, reloaded after death, and remembered something that happened in the day you died, the deja vu. It is generally implied you switched timelines. But the theory of timelines implies there is another you in the parallel universe you reloaded. Hence it is not possible to have this model without solipsism. What would happen with this other you? Would he swap places and die in your place? Or he is just a mindless npc with no soul who receives yours once you swap timelines? Or a third option: another universe is created once you die and you reload your save into it. In the three cases we have solipsism. The entire premise of save, reload, then retrieving memory (in a more or less Dark Souls manner), implies you are the only player character and everyone else is a npc. You can't have it another way. If you imply deja vu as precognition how do you explain the memory of that day? Precognition implies something that is about to happen, not something that already happened. [/QUOTE]
