They could just ignore the special edition of Aliens.

But I think most people are aware of that one, and it would be a tough sell.

Answered, We know no impregnation of Amanda Ripley occurred on-board Sevastopol Station now.

I don't think she was impregnated, but for a sequel they could easily decide that or not much like the jump from Aliens to Alien 3.

I thought this, because later two aliens randomly show up in front of you.  Shotgun them, flamethrower them, etc and they just ignore you.  Either this is a bug or it's scripted that way for some reason.
It's scripted that way. The aliens can and do kill you after the cocooning sequence:

I never assumed she was impregnated. I just thought she was hived up to the wall and woke up before the FHer hatched. Would be great to hear what CA say about it. Thanks, Hicks.

One strike-out (as in didn't want to say). Trying another person.


Can't name names but yeah, looks like the intent was just to leave it open. No solid intent that she was impregnated but was left open to interpretation.

Of course they wouldn't make it obvious, to leave room for potential sequels, however if they wanted to pursue the 'Amanda impreganted' route, there's nothing in the game to contradict that.

Scorpio has a point. It could be that Creative Assembly just wanted to have that potential avenue there in case. We should have asked CA about that when we interviewed them. Lemme shoot off some messages and see if I can get a response.

Facehuggers will still attack you.

Why would they ignore you?  Implant multiple embryos like the Predalien in AVPR.

We don't discuss that.

That's weird, but Ok mate.

There are several unhatched eggs lying around.

I just checked and there's two. One's right in front of Amanda, the other a bit around the corner.

QuoteThere's also no FHer corpse lying close to her.
There was not one for Kane, either.  It was hiding up in the ceiling somewhere.

Yep, and it was shown to have died close by. Likewise, if they were going to convey in the game she was impregnated, they would do the same and show a corpse of a FHer rather than leaving it vague. There's not really any evidence though.

It amazing how many long cons Burke apparently had.

Well, Burke doesn't have to know squat about what "really" happened to Amanda. And I don't think he did.

The possibility of her being impregnated, while a convenient way to have aliens again for a sequel, is a bit too convenient for my tastes. Unless we go for AVP-levels of "instapregnation", by the time she would have been impreganted and managed to wake up I think Sevastopol would have already been incinerated in the gas giant.

But if Amanda didn't die on Sevastopol and the part on the Torrens wasn't a dream either, I think the chances of that light shining on her at the very end could very well have been a WY ship (like in Alien 3). In that case, I don't think they'll let her just walk away like that. In fact, I could see them interrogating her to find out everything they can.
