Headscratchers / ParaWorld

• Why are the heroes such strong units? Their large health pools might come from Stina's medical knowledge and a bit of medical supplies she probably carries in... uh, Hammerspace? Bela's archery power might come from his more powerful yet less demanding modern composite bow. Cole's melee fighting abilities make sense, since he is apparently in his thirties as of 1957, so probably is also a veteran of World War II. Stina's whip attack is first seen used only against animals and comes to play against a human exactly once, when it does not kill it's target. The attack damage is a courtesy mostly of the eusmilus.
• If people live longer in Paraworld, how come Babbit, Ada and Leighton can also live longer in London? Do they just need to drink this Paraworld water, known for healing units in the game, from time to time?
• Babbit fears loosing his relative control of interdimensional travel and eternal youth. Why exactly doesn't he try to reason with the visiting scientists first, though? Does he not need more skilled workforce in SEAS? The question Cole poses in the final journal entry about such intelligent man having such stupid ideas is valid.
• Why are people in Paraworld so few, that the ecosystems full of megafauna thrive?
  • Could be some terrible diseases bred between all these diverse species, which affect humans stronger than average big animals.
• Did James Warden voluntarily come to Paraworld? He appears to live like in the Garden of Eden, especially with his biblical staff, beard and clothes, and not once mention interest in coming back home, in contrast to the electrical engineer Taslow.
• Why don't the heroes stack the artifacts found throughout the game? They clearly magically empower their wielders and everyone around..
  • The only artifact, that they acquired canonically, was the first one. At this point they weren't any sort of especially important heroes, so there was no reason that the artifact, found on the Norsemen tribe's land, would be given to them permanently.
• In the mission 10: How could a group of aircraft disaster survivors destroy three bases full of enemies?
  • Assuming they then left the island using some SEAS vehicle, how come they didn’t keep it around?
• How did the heroes sneak on Leighton in the mission 10? Did he not hear anything happening around? Is he an Absent-Minded Professor in addition to all his other vices?
• What exactly is the Scorpion and what was it's original purpose? Was it some kind of giant excavator?
• How long is the span of the plot, actually? Considering all the sailing ship voyages, at least a year, or even a few years!
  • Which sheds a new light into why do Stina, and Cole especially undergo changes of character into more malicious ones. They have been living in pre-modern times full of dinosaurs for a few years at this point.
  • In case of Cole there is also the fact, that he either fought against Nazi Germany or Katanas of the Rising Sun and survived, so he is initially shocked at a joyfully warlike nature of the tribes encountered, but eventually gets fed up of it.
