@@AnyaVeritatis Yes, I am currently on my 3rd playthrough 😅 (This game is addicting) I thought so too at times, but Aloy is pretty good in sending mixed signals at times, so I'm not 100% convinced, yet ... but I will DEFINITLY die on that ship, anyways ! 🤣
@@lupostales7968 Ahahah No shame on that xD I'm at my second playthrough and I'm gonna go for the Platinum too ❤️ Also, as theatrical actress and aspiring voice actress sometimes I can see the unseen in the characters. It's true: Aloy can send mixed signals sometimes but her character has developed a lot since Zero Dawn. Erend is the only character that I could see some romantic chemestry with her, and the two have a lot of chemestry that It makes me melt (I even wrote two fanfics with them and I'm writing also an AU 😂) especially in their conversations and at the ending cutscene I literally screamed xD Aloy seems to be more comfortable around Erend, and the way they speak to each other It makes me think that there's more than It meets the eye. Perhaps I'm right, perhaps I'm wrong. Who knows what will happen with them in a future DLC (I'm 50% sure that we're gonna have a DLC xD) or in Horizon 3. Who knows, In the meanwhile, I'll be here to make shippy vids and writing fanfictions about them :3
@@AnyaVeritatis Definitely ! Erend might be a little ... clumsy and "rough" around the edges, but I think that THAT'S exactly what Aloy needs, you know ? Someone, that's light-hearted and funny, yet stoick and strong when need be ! Aloy is always so focused (no pun intended 😅) and tries WAY to hard to get everything right ... she shoulders so much burden, that she forgets about her own health and happiness from time to time ... she's even distant and somewhat cold to people at times, it seems ! She's isolating herself and Erend could be EXACTLY what she needs to ... you know ... lighten up and let loose ones in a while ! He might not be the most responsible one and yes, he gets himself into a pickle pretty easily but hey ... nobodys perfect ! 🤷♀️😅 It's cool that you're into theater and acting, by the way ! It takes a LOT of guts to not get stage-fright and be so confident to perform on a stage - I have MASSIVE respect for that ! I hope, you get to fulfill your dream and be able to really expand on your talents ! 😊
Sorry for the late reply, busy busy 😂 I played Burning Shores last summer and I quite dislike the character you mentioned. For me is a great example of “wasted occasion”, however at the end of the DLC you could choose if to engage it or not. I personally didn’t because I didn’t felt the chemestry between the two and that didn’t make me say “Mhm… there could be something going on between these two”. Perhaps they were testing grounds for Romance Options in Horizon 3, because I read somewhere that they wanted to make romance options in Zero Dawn (perhaps in the official guide of Zero Dawn. Sorry my ADHD is showing 😅) but I can’t point my finger on it. Maybe yes, Maybe not. And yeah, Erend is my favorite as well and I love him so much that my heart melts every time he’s on screen ❤️
@@AnyaVeritatis There are a few times Erend and Aloy seem to Connect, Erend becomes very loyal to Aloy, I did want them to have more than one drink together where Erend tells the story of her sister. That was a good scene. Do not get me wrong I also like the idea if Aloy and Talanna,Petra and even Tilda could have been options. It is a shame Tilda did not get a redemption arc in the end. Carrie Anne Moss nailed the role. Her last minute Double cross did not sit right, especially since I saw where Tilda was coming from, She did not want to lose someone she cared about Again, even though Aloy is not Elisabet, Having Tilda die was a wasted opportunity. Erend though is who I like Aloy with the most.❤
Its obvious that Aloy and Erend have feelings for each other, I saw it coming from the first game. The way they smile when they meet in this game and Aloy always felt uncomfortable for fisic contact even from Beta, but at the end of the sequel didnt doubt about hugging Erend after the battle! Also, the end of their side quest with the rebels camp, the gift to remind her of their adventures, come on! In addition to all that, I played the game in spanish so I dont know how the lines were in english, but in the way of saving GAIA and Beta Erend told Aloy that he had something important to tell her, something he didnt want to regret... yeah after that he came with an a stupid joke, but the writters knew what they were going with that. They must be together for the third game.
I agree with everything you said! I don't mind the slow burn between a pair, and I gotta admit that I would have loved Romance Options in Forbidden West, but I'm quite glad that there wasn't. I personally think that they're semi-canon and something might happen between them, either in a future DLC or in Horizon 3. But I'm confident that in a DLC Erend Is going to be a key character (I'm almost sure that the DLC would be either the Claim or the Quen Empire), I still take everything with a grain of salt. I'm Italian and I played the game in Italian. I gotta say that Erend had told the same thing, I was like: "C'mon, Say It, Say It!" Then he went with the joke and I laughed bitterly xD
Erend sempre quer ajudar Aloy, sempre que os dois se falam nós percebemos que o ar muda digamos que meio calmo, Aloy em alguns diálogos ela pergunta sobre ele, um exemplo é quando os três vão atrás de Ilitia só que na verdade era a Beta, ela pergunta a Varl como o Erend estava se sentindo a tudo isso, primeiro eu vi em português do Brasil mas depois olhei alguns videos em inglês e quando ela pergunta a Varl a entonação de voz é como se ela estivesse com vergonha de perguntar entende? E na missão singularidade quando entram naquela caverna o Erend fala que é assustador lá dentro e Aloy fala meio que sussurrando dizendo "eu te protejo" eu achei lindo!
E também tem o amigo do Erend o da vanguarda quando eles se encontram o guarda fala: Erend! Eu odeio ter que interromper o romance mas estou machucado, o guarda percebeu. Desde o primeiro jogo nós percebemos isso, os dois se preocupam um com o outro ao mesmo tempo. Espero que os dois fiquem juntos no terceiro jogo.
Well, you never know ... I mean, she HAS made some flirty attempts towards him in the past, so it's entirely possible 🤷♀️ But then again, Aloy is the queen of sending mixed signals, so ... I dunno ... we'll have to wait for the 3rd installment to come out and see, I guess ...
@@SmokeM7274 bruh she had interest in Varl even if she never really touched the topic of love neither with him. She clearly never gave a chance to Erend although he never was interested as much as Avad….
Honestly, if those 2 don't end up together after the 3rd installment, I riot ! They're just meant for each other ! 😊💖
I don't know If you're playing or you've played Forbidden West,but well...It seems That it's getting into that direction:3

Wish Aloy had a love interest options, I could actually see her with Erend, not just with one particular character in the DLC. Erend is my Fav ❤❤❤
