I swear I don't know how Steve still has a job. Those IT guys can get away with murder. Literally! 😛 Also I hated that section with the ducts you crawl through. _Haaaated_ it.
Maybe in their eyes (if they have them), Steve is the best employee, in terms of enthusiastic aggression. 😆 I always feel vulnerable in the ducts, even though so far they've been pretty safe. If there is a future chase scene in the ducts...I won't be happy. What was your take on the "hallucination" with Ashley that Simon was having? Do you think his mind created that, or do you think the WAU (or something else) placed that in there?
@@wonderasiwander3964 Well I notice that Simon was left embedded in the glowing growths for that scene, like a lot of other humans we find just sitting there breathing roughly while wrapped up in that stuff. Some of the others, if you get super close, Simon can "hear" them having conversations with unseen people. So I think it's the WAU's way of keeping them content or maybe even happy while held prisoner. I think Simon was able to get out of it because he's mostly robot. Also the WAU has access to everyone's scan, I think, so that's how it knows what to do to make people happy in their dreams. Simon clearly had feelings for Ashley, since when she asked him something like "Don't you want this?", he said, "Well, yeah," so it was probably a good guess by the WAU.
Thank you, that's interesting. It's really think that the WAU and Catherine have a lot in common, in that there's this desire to keep humans "alive," but the methodology is flawed. I don't know, it'll be cool to see how this all ends.
Akers only spawn after five minutes pass since you exited the ARK laboratory, but he will spawn immediately when you gain access to OMEGA MANAGEMENT one way or another. He travels through vents, so even though you manage to lock him inside one of the rooms with the console in the security office, he will despawn, but that still gives you time as it takes longer for him to spawn again. According to this paper, which shows the decreasing key personnel of PATHOS-II, Catherine was part of IADP (International Astroid Deflection Program), a effort put together by the nations of Earth shortly after they discovered Telos. Apparently this group was supposed to play a bigger role, but the only thing left of it is this one mention. 9:05 You missed Brandon Wan's blackbox and Akers's medical report. Both of them don't play any crucial role. I thought you were supposed to climb the ladder, then it breaks and you fall down, but apparently free fall is also a option. 31:32 Ashley's "dream" model has a face made of worms, which you cannot see without the help of debug tools. This whole part was supposed to be a bigger thing, apparently it was originally meant to play in Simon's mother's funeral. I do not know how it was supposed to come to an end then, but it only does so in the game thanks to the elevator falling down and exploding, waking Simon up. The shuttle train on your right contains Alice Koster, covered in Mind Coral, now a very vocal dreamer, having a pleasant dinner with Brandon Wan, as you hear. THETA is WAU's ARK. 34:15 The lower THETA is a very interesting place. It was supposed to be LOWER THETA LABS, as evidenced by the sign on the floor in the first section, shuttle station. The sign change with the level after Akers catches you. It is a oversight no doubt, I only noticed it in my most recent playthrough, and there's absolutely not a single mention of it online I could find. Besides this oddity that only shows THETA was supposed to be something more, there are more dreamers than there could possibly be. There wasn't that many people left in THETA by that time.
I tend to just fall off things in this game 😄 I'm really bummed that I missed Alice. I looked at the timestamp where you mention her, and I swear I see her for a brief second. I really liked the inclusion of Brandon and Alice's stories. I'm happy to know she was at least having a nice dream.
Hey, there! Two things: 1) Even though I had increased the gamma some, during this part of the game it got super dark in some places. I know the game is doing it for scary ambience, but I'm sorry if any parts are too dark. 2) I want to apologize to the main monster (Akers): Akers, I said you had no arms, but clearly you have little T-Rex arms. I still don't know how you were able to get down the stairs so fast, but I wanted toi issue a clarification on your behalf. 😆
