Now I just finished beating Infamous 2 good and evil ending (i dont have the will to go through the whole game). And there is something that concerns me about it. Now no matter what ending Cole decides to go for he always has very good reasons to back whichever decision you decide to make. For example if you side with Kuo and John White his reasons are that they cant be sure if the ray sphere will actually save people infected, and on the chance it doesnt it will doom mankind by killing both Conduits and normal people, so if he decides to side with the beast his reasons are that he wants to go the route he is 100% on. Now admittedly Kuo's reasons for going on the Evil path are just because she is afraid to dies, Nix who is on the good path in the last levels reasons are that the Beast killed her "babies" ad she also says that if the Beast made Conduits she wouldnt be special anymore, both of those reasons are quite selfish, even if the end result of her goal would be to destroy the Beast. Now this has me thinking, if Cole choses the bad side is he only thinking of himself or the future of mankind? Is he doing this because he doesnt want to die, or because he want to make sure humans will live on? From a purely logical standpoint he made the best choice in going with the option that he knows will work instead of going with the one that has a chance of failure. Now admittedly it is sad that Cole would kill 1000 people in order to save 1 but as John White says "You do what needs to be done." In this regard i think of Bad Cole as the more mentally sound Cole. While Good Cole can rush in and sacrifice himself in an effort that has a high risk of just not working, Bad Cole does what needs to be done and does the only thing he knows will actually save manking
tl:dr
Maybe Bad Coles reasons in the ending moments of th game were for what he thought was the good of all.
