Metal Gear Solid V: 10 Plot Points It Needs To Tie Up

4. Solid/Liquid Snake: The Early Years

Snake Young Les Enfants Terribles spawned two very different children who were split up after birth, their origins kept a secret. We know little of either's history before their respective appearances in Metal Gear canon; all we know about Solid Snake is his name - David - and that he grew up with foster parents and entered the military at an early age. There's got to be more to this than that. What happened to Liquid Snake? Why does he know so much more than Solid Snake does in Metal Gear Solid? How did the twins' lives differ from birth up to the scenarios we saw them in for the first time? Do either of them ever actually meet Big Boss, or any of the other characters who were around at the time of MGSV? Will we even see the terrible infants at all? It's a mystery for now, but I really think it's definitely necessary at this point.
