This is one of my fav games of all time! I havent found another quite like it (yet). I hope you’re enjoying it!

Here to figure out how to save Neil

18:22 I think your whole point here is exactly why Travis "trolled" the Apollo project. I love Samina's response (and her in general) but I have little doubt that the writers' point was that Travis was frustrated that his views on culture and art (seemingly-uneducated American Southern and metal music, respectively) were being unfairly omitted from the archive of human culture. I don't think it's coincidence that he and Samina are almost culturally opposite, or that Travis happened to be the only other main alpha to make it into the primary story in FW. Travis is honestly one of the most interesting characters, imo. He appears in MANY datapoints with Elisabet. He's one of only three characters to refer to her as "Liz". I think it's implied that he had a closer relationship with her than any of the other alphas and that he's still clearly one of the most intelligent people on the planet. So I personally, as a fellow metal-head, agree with Travis' objections. I also agree with the question you raise.

It's also notable that the game is basically screaming at you with implications that she's Void-touched in some way. Probably not a full-on witch, but her obsession with paintings and dreams definitely doesn't feel like a coincidence. And hey, an artist invading your dreams, doesn't that sound familiar? There's also a general sense that she sees more than she should, even beyond previous loops, though a lot of that gets muddled in her drugged state. And her constant fixation on 'the eye'? I think that's more than just a metaphor. I also believe that there's more to Julianna's statement that 'bringing Fia on was a mistake' than just 'she's scary and dangerous', since Julianna doesn't take _any_ of the other visionaries (even Colt for most of it) seriously at all, and while her reactor can probably kill most people on Blackeef, it can't seem to stop the loop, so really no real reason for Julianna to be so worried.

Brilliant. Thank you for this.

Wth. That's some dope philosophy bruhhh

I'm replaying this game now with the new remastered version and omg, the lore and reveals are so good. Even though I know what happens I still get surprised 😂 always great to see videos that appreciate this game

Didn't notice Colt was born in 1911. This must be the devs making a gag/nod to the real world pistol, the Colt 1911.

Never regretted playing both these games. The story is so out there and relatable to our time

I appreciate Horizon even more after this video. Because.....of course I did!

3:03:40 This is where I lose my mind at a tiny straw Tallneck btw. If u even care

It's so satisfying to find an intelligent video that manages to capture and synthesize the depth of Horizon's story very well, as well as the depth and complexity of Aloy. Thanks for this essay.

01:05:00 - Go here for sick aerial combat stealth-attacking and then fighting a Tideripper lmao

Check out 01:16:23 for 1970s advice on how to get your new jeans to fit perfectly!

How do I get this interaction. I found the room but it doesn't let me play the tape. Help please 🥺

Where are you?

Colt

Colt

Wouldn't it be funny if I spotted a new secret in every intro of this series haha - Because, you knit? How cool is that! Also thank you for your responses. My own knitting is coming along greatly during your videos. They are very comfy so far! :3

wait wait wait - you are german too? How cool! It's so rare that I find german creators I like. Yippieee

heya, is this music in-game? Or did you add it to your videos? Really like this video thanks for making it.

I love horizon and found this let's play series from your essay about the ethics of knowledge. That was an incredible video in its own right! And this series is gonna be perfect backround noise for my knitting. Looking forward to all the hours!

40:45 Shepard just endorsing every store. :D Let's see if there are some consequences later on.

Important point of order: the bird's name is Tapioca Featherfall Sunbeam! (The horsie mount is called Butterscotch. If you even care.)

So was grace a vampire & why didn't the people she helped turn?

Finished the first game. :) Looking forward to more Romance in the upcoming games. More crew? yes please.

46:59 Uhh, I just watched Kate again couple of days ago. And I still love it.

I'm liking the essay part of this video. But the footage does not match the topic of discussion what so ever. Example: while talking about Silens you showed footage of Alva. and then about 10 minutes later you talk about the Quen while showing footage of Silens. If you had swapped the two clips used the subject on screen would have been related to the subject of discussion. Likewise durring the section on ted faro you show fottage of petra....when you could just use footage of Aloy exploring the FAS building in ZD or Thebes in FW. Not trying to be a jerk here, but the dissonance between the subject on screen and the subject of discussion is realy jarring.

hi Grumble, I know I'm late and probably you have looked it up by now, but I think Hecate is pronounced HEK-ə-tee in English. 2:47

I love ambience in Arkane games, thanks for making these!

Since Egor gets a lot of bad rap due to his unregulated pareidolia: It actually lead them to discovery of the island, as you so quoted. Afaik, neutralizers and walky-talkies, tuned for that noisy radio environment, are also his design. In real life, early concepts for efficient radio (reception, jamming) came from the “alternate science” fringes (giving Russia about a decade headstart!), superior microwave engineering to this day is regarded as eerie by many (“dancing electrons”) so much so that cavity magnetrons were rejected as pseudoscience upon invention 1930’ish (and later re-engineered independently by multiple nations, and kept a secret); and for _rocket fuel_ “relevations” even dipped into the religious (Parsons in the US). These days, the “block universe” theory underpinning Egor’s work is indeed respected among concurrent ideas.

Fia is depressed to the point of parasuicidality, and on the edge at that. If you shoot Charlie in their love nest, it’s her who will pull the trigger to flood the entire place.

There’s some eternalists who let it slip they recall, for example on the streets of Karl’s Bay. But since they’re painted as NPCs, maybe we don’t remember their dialogues as well. I think they’re shown in the epilogue. Ironically, the brain part Wenjie extracted and rejected into 2bit, it was Charlie’s for empathy.

Oy, the “late” Harriet. Since you killed her. Televising it! Her thesis reminded me of the assertion some belief systems make, order were established by force, a phenomenon of culture at best, and chaos were the motherly true state of things. So, Harriet’s call to live and reflect would be a way to reconnect with that uncorrupted state. To normalize it. We could delve into the psychology to it, beyond coping - but you know what you did.

3:37:35 happy to help. ^^ That fight is really tough even with the extra medicine. I agree, it _is_ really annoying that companions barely attack in this game. At least most of the time. In Thebes Alva constantly kill steals my Corruptors. They really should dial in that AI. :D Again I agree: What do I need ammo for? It's too difficult the loot in a fight. And I don't need ammo 95% of the time. So it just gets send to the stash anyway.

I know this is two years old but wanted to let you know I found two stun mines in the back corner of where Sokolov is being held. Before you go into his room, follow the maze all the way back and there will be a bookshelf with stun mines and other goodies.

Thoroughly enjoyed this essay, first time I've come across your channel and now I'm a subscriber. Would really like to see an essay on the Mass Effect world ...

OMGGGGG THAT CLIFFHANGER

Fvck Ted Faro would be an excellent name for the 3rd game in the series!

ohhhhh Grumble, Avatar: the Last Airbender is well worth your time. (Only the animated original, but that probably went without saying.) Absolutely stunning storycraft.

There still isn’t a game as beautiful as forbidden west. Like wow. Dialogue sequences with random npcs look better than story cutscenes in other AAA games.

Masako 😭😭😭

Yasna sure does a lot of falling

About the difference in hair color between Aloy and Beta/Elisabet: I doubt it's some kind of secret story reason to be revealed in game 3, and more of a subtle nod to the difference in their upbringing/lifestyle. Prolonged exposure to UV rays tends to lighten hair color, and since Aloy grew up mostly training outdoors and then running around the world trying to fix GAIA, it'd make sense for her hair to look brighter than the workaholic scientist Sobeck's, not to mention Beta who was cooped up on the Odyssey (and its artificial lighting) for her entire life. That's just my take on it, though

Ah,left hand of darkness ah? I like how an AI like gaia always makes me think of minerva the AI of Heinlein,that becomes human.. Lazarus long is like a Zenith,because the book is about the knowledge of the memories of a man with thousands of years.

RIP Lance Reddick😢 i hope your spirit flies to the stars!

I know this video was publish ages ago, but i'm here in 2024 still playing BOTH games😂 Great video!

This game is so underrated and not talked about nearly enough.. glad I found ur channel and all these lore videos u did, excellent work
