SH3 Story Line ?
 

I was just wondering if there were any hardcore silent hill fans that could give me a really breief explination of the story. Im playing Silent Hill 3 now and ive been told you really need to have played the first one to understand it. I dont need anything detailed, just a brief run down of the main storyline points. THANKS ;)

Yeah, it would help a lot if you've played through the first one.

BIG SPOILERS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MAY HAVE ACCIDENTALLY WANDERED IN HERE.


I'll do these in a basic chronological order.

-Harry Mason and wife find a baby on the side of the road in/around Silent Hill, adopt her, and name her Cheryl.

-Several years later, Harry's wife dies from an illness.

-Several more years later, Cheryl convinces Harry to take her to Silent Hill for a vacation. During the ride there, a girl suddenly appears (Alessa) and causes Harry to crash the car.

-He wakes up to find Cheryl missing. He travels all around Silent Hill uncovering a plot by Dahlia Gillespie to birth a god.

-Basically, Dahlia used her own daughter (Alessa) to birth the god and during her whole painful, mess of a childhood, Alessa "separated" herself in half and created Cheryl preventing the god from being born at that time. Cheryl was "brought" back to Alessa. (A lot more to this story)

-Anyways, Harry kills the god produced by Dahlia's second attempt, and before dying Alessa/Cheryl hands Harry an infant (another form) later to be named Heather.

-So SH3 takes place 17 years after the original, and Claudia (Alessa's childhood friend and fellow cult member) wants to again try giving birth to a god through Heather/Alessa/Cheryl.


I think that's about it. I'm writing this at 5:30 a.m. so forgive for any mistakes I may have made. For a much better, in-depth analysis, try reading the Plot Guide
here at GameFaqs. I highly recommend that you do. After re-reading what I typed even I'm confused.

Thanks ALOT. Im getting pretty far into it now, and its good to know whats going on. Again, thanks :)

Well...Preventer Wind (Mostly him) and I beat it last night. Id say it was a pretty damn good game. Although , with the exception of GOD all the boss fights were pretty easy to beat. After reading the vast majority of the storyline on Gamefaqs, I must say. WOW. I didnt know it went that deep. Its pretty far fetched but at the same time it still all fits together well. Overall it was a great game. Creepy, disturbing, wierd, far fetched, but GREAT none the less. Thanks again though, I wouldnt have understood much you hadnt replied

I read about the three endings. Preventer and i got the normal ending

WARNING : The following spoiler revels a small amount of info about the games ending, not much though

i'm gonna have to go thru the game again to get some fo those alternate endings..
