Horizon Zero Dawn: Finding Aloy's True Mother

I love that the Nora's religion is actually heavily based on the truth. Allmother (GAIA) slew the metal devil (the Faro Plague), and birthed humans from the womb of the mountain (the birthing chamber).

"this isn't a goddess.... It's a door" lmao

I knew it was a bad idea to use floppy disks to save the registry.

I love Sylens in this scene. He usually so matter of fact, so for him to be impressed by anything, let alone some girl is... impressive. He then cajoles Aloy to fulfill her destiny in a way that is both insanely complimentary and deprecating at the same time. XD

That last scene, always tears.

Aloy: I don't have a mother... Sylens: What are you talking about? You had two. A dead woman a machine. It always cracks me up.

" 'Who'? Are you really so naive? There will be no 'who' waiting for you there, Aloy. Whatever birthed you into the world is a 'what', not a 'who'." - "You Bastard!" - "Oh no, I had a legitimate birth" Lmao, Sylens is such a fucking Savage 😭😂😂 Aloy already got beaten down and he still keeps beating. What a King of Comebacks

The fact that I despise Ted Faro, a fictional character. For what he did to this fictional world. is proof of how this game genius! It makes me sad this wasn't made into a movie! Masterpiece doesn't do it justice!

I just love how this technological advancement which we are almost familiar with due to the times we live in are like the works of Gods for them, like: "Oh great, God, what hold ye in ye mighty hand?!" "... My phone..."

Aloy has 2 mothers. A dead women Elizabeth and a machine, Gaia.

The voice acting in this game is so consistently fantastic. It's like no one ever drops the ball, not for a moment.

When Sylens said wtf you had 2 mothers, i could stop laughing

I'd like to know how she went from being a primitive tribeswoman to being able to recognize signs of corruption in a registry file in such a short amount of time.

I was thinking what if Sylens is Apollo? Like a part of Apollo. I'd assume if Apollo survived what Ted Faro did then it would know how to make a human or an android and copy a part of itself to it. To sort out the mess that was caused by the unknown transmission??

This is such an amazing game on so many levels. Amazing story. Beautiful open world to explore. An EXP system, which is always a win, although I do wish they had included a more in depth stats system alongside levelling up, like instead of just HP you had STRENGTH, DEXTERITY, TOUGHNESS, STAMINA etc. Just more types of stats that would strengthen Aloy further. I also love how frighteningly realistic the story is to real life Earth. In fact i wouldnt be surprised if this is the future of our planet. Eventually our civilisation and technology collapses leaving us with wood huts, spears and arrows again. Lastly i really loved how they showed how the tribe modified the Embrace and beyond to make getting around easier. Like the river bridges or rope crossings, climbing ropes and ledges around trees etc. Im stealing some of those ideas for a real life setting i am working on.

Teersa may not have understood technology but she still knew exactly what she was talking about.

Sylens is such an interesting character. Not really sure if he's a Hero or a Villain, but I hope to see more of him in the sequel. Seems to me he would do anything for knowledge, even if it meant putting the entire world at risk. Like what he did at the end of the game, seems he's going to put everyone at risk due to his lust for knowledge.

This game is a masterpiece in my opinion.

Aloy needs to return to the past as the terminator to stop Ted Faro from creating the peacekeeper program aka skynet. Lol imagine young Aloy meeting Elisabet Sobet the interactions and the stories they'll tell each other. Is possible if she can take control of Hephaestus and have it build a time a machine or something.

I wish they’d given more credit to Rost. Might not have been a mother as Aloy’s people preferred but everyone deserves a father too.
