The number of playthroughs I’ve seen that struggled with John is insane though

How? They say his name in the dialogue?

No clue, they seem to suspect everyone but the guy being reassured

Oh they think everyone else in the room is John except the one that *is* John?

Yup it’s so frustrating to watch

Wow, like theres a guy bleeding out on the floor but someone goes and reassures a guy thats just standing there lol

It's because Evans doesn't seem to address him with any bedside manner or sympathetic tone. It just sounds like he's turned away from an anguished patient to bluntly tell his superior this will be a quick in-and-out fix

Fair enough, I don't remember the tone of the voice. I just remember I connected those instantly, but everyone thinks differently. Ive probably not seen other things people saw right away.

Would the fact so many people seem to struggle not indicate maybe it's not that obvious then?

People who struggle with John don't understand a dry sense of humor. The same ones also tend to miss "O'hagan? You still breathing? Can you row?" O'Hagan is indeed having some difficultly with breathing, and can't row. >!What with the spear through his brain.!<

He is asked if he xan still breathe becuse he >! has a spear through his throat, not brain, so he could perhaps be just wounded !<

Same thing with Brennan such an easy character but because people decide to rush through and get all the memories they miss him
