    His understanding of what is going on and what everything means is so good that I learned a couple things from this playthrough. For one thing I never realized that the dam doesn't start breaking until the thrusters activate, I always wondered why it happened to start breaking! And I never noticed that since the inhabitants of The Stranger were in the solar system for so long you can see the planet that Dark Bramble used to be in their slideshows. Really cool details!

      It was also interesting to see someone who hadn't actually seen the end of the game experience the DLC. If you don't already know what the Eye's deal is, its so much easier to go along with the Owlks paranoia over the Eye. Really puts their fear into perspective.

      - The solar panels opening up because the dam was destroyed (since that was generating power before)

There are no conscious observers in these loops (the Nomai didn't want to have to live through and remember all of those loops).
      Millions of loops later, the Eye is found. This fact is included in the info sent from the probe cannon to the ATP, which prompts the ATP to activate the remaining masks. This is the Hatchling's (and Gabbro's) first loop, but the computers are still millions of loops in.
      The intention here was that the Nomai would, at this point, disable the Sun Station, which means no supernova, which means no more loops. They could then take the coordinates for the Eye and... figure out how to get there, probably a shuttle could do it.

This is so that any affected person won't have to live through the amount of failed loops it would take (and go positively insane), but will send the info to the tracking module so that the new trajectory doesn't overlap with a previous one.

      It's honestly a brilliant red herring as the main problem of the game. Dark Bramble is made of living material but destroys everything it comes in contact with, likely creeping through many star systems as a virus. The eye of the universe seems lifeless and unfeeling but in the end is what is needed for life to reset.

      At first glance, everyone thinks thst dark bramble is the endgame and the main problem
      Sure, it is the last place you visit before the Eye, but curiously it's only place of relevance in the whole story is at the very beginning of it, trapping the Nomai

    16:33 not sure if he figures this out later on but the reason that transition happens is because your character wouldn't remember anything past the 22 minutes of recorded memories. After the ash twin project sends your memories through the black hole and it is destroyed by the supernova, canonically you could stay alive for as long as you want past that point. You just wouldn't remember any of it.

      Reminds me of the scene in SOMA where you copy your consciousness into a new body. the version of "you" that you've been playing up to that point gets left behind to die. In theory every time loop cycle on the Stranger there is a hearthian who lives out their days after the supernova. The player POV follows the memories for gaemplay convenience, When in reality you would not experience that. I suppose that brings up the question the Nomai asked: is sending memories back actually transferring the person or creating a new one, and does it make a difference? Is it creating a new time line or rewriting the current one?

      This is technically true, but not in the way Oliver thinks. The game’s original explanation for the Nomai not being able to detect the signal was that it’s too close, meaning their detectors sense it from everywhere. It was only closer to the DLC’s release that they changed it so that the signal stopped emitting entirely.
      tl;dr they didn’t have the story planned for the DLC, just the concept of a DLC

  • @SamMcPieVTOL
    @SamMcPieVTOL ปีที่แล้ว +210

    1:13:18 I had an INSANE realization about this painting right here and I’ll post it below, reason I say insane is because I realized it and nobody really talked about it other than it being a continuation of the second visions:
    “Okay, here me out. I don't know if anybody has talked about this, but this painting is in the Cinder Isles dream world (Starlit Cove) inside a burned out building. "Why is such a beautiful painting inside a burned out building?" or "why is there even a burned out building in a dream world?" you might ask.
    We know the prisoner lived in the Starlit Cove, since it's the only unoccupied space in The Stranger**. The prisoner saw the Eye of the Universe as something not to be feared, something that was beautiful. This painting shows his vision of what the Eye is and was to him. This burned house is HIS house in the dream world. After the inhabitants caught him turning off the jammer, they locked him up, turned on the jammer, and burned up his house in the dream world.
    I just had this realization watching a play through of the dic when someone found this amazing painting in the dream world.”
    **I’d like to add that there is also a crossed out painting in the Cinder Isles in one of the buildings.
    This theory makes somewhat decent sense since they built the dream world before his betrayal. Another note is that maybe the burned building was the eye shrine building. The thing about this is if that was true, that would be the only parallel between the ring world and the dream world. I.e., that would be the only thing that would carry over into the dream world from the ring world, which doesn’t make sense since it’s a building representing something they absolutely despise, so why would they build it burned in the first place?

    • @Kreypossukr

      Yes the burnt house in starlit cove IS the prisoner’s house ! And the crossed out painting are indeed of him !
      Although this is not the burnt eye shrine carried over in the dream world, there are connections between the real world and the simulation : see the lights in the tower that you need to extinguish in the simulation to enter the secret codes room in the real world for example !

      Each dream is a reflection of the area the fire is located (the hidden gorge's simulation is suspended over the sides of a massive canyon, the lowlands are small island chains surrounded by water, and the tower is a town on stilts), and that goes for some buildings as well. Each fire building is exactly the same in either world, and the eye temple is no different. I imagine that they brought it over when they scanned the visions to make the simulation in the first place, and for whatever reason just decided not to get rid of it. It was definitely where the prisoner lived (or at least a place he frequented, It's not exactly clear), though, and I never realized that the painting was his, which is a cool detail!

    • @fillosof66689

      The way the Prisoner's vision differs only in perspective from the one that scared all the others so much it turned them into a bitter, broken people filled with regret is a perfect addition to this game's theme. With Harthians and Nomai, we didn't get to see what a knowledge of the Eye of the Universe's nature and purpose can do to a species, and in the DLC the game addressed it, still ultimately siding firmly with those who, while keeping their past with them, look firmly into the future.

    I've seen these endings multiple times, but they still make me cry.

    I love that he quotes Contact with "they should have sent a poet". What a movie. What a playthrough. What a compilation!

    This is just a euphoric playthrough by them. They are pretty clever, solving puzzles and having a good hunch on the way the story was flowing.

      Especially when all the times Oliver was wasting on dead ends and his own misconceptions are edited out. 😂

    The most thoughtful and engrossing playthrough I've seen. Love how absolutely absorbed he gets in the story.
