Oh yeah, this was my other lingering question (besides that hint from Elizabet about the true cause of the glitch). Is it ever explained why Rost was exiled? He seemed like a really stand-up guy, and I remember someone saying I'd have to ask the matriarchs, but I don't think I ever saw a follow-up to that.

You can ask one of the Matriarchs about it after leaving the lab in the mountain, and it is basically as el oso replied with.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Rost also went into the Forbidden West so I’m definitely expecting some kind of flashback or improbable situation where he discovers a love for audiologging.

On the one hand I feel like if he found an actual audio recording device he'd shun it for being of The Faithless Old Ones and thus Cursed, but then again during this time he considered himself already dead so who knows how strictly he followed tribal customs during that time.

Usually I'm not one for predictions, but I would cry ugly tears if there's a quest wherein Aloy uses her Focus to retrace Rost's steps, and there are tasteful echoes of him saying "Follow"

Because there's SO MUCH NEW STUFF that mentioning even most of it made at least my review an unreadable epic and I had to start trimming stuff.

But yeah, armor dyes! And the colours are lovely too, nice pastels and whatnot.

Random Side Quest is the definitive Horizon Lore channel and he has a 90-minute recap of everything leading up to Forbidden West.

It super isn't. I am baffled by how they managed to improve drat near everything in meaningful ways.

I suspect someone's made a deal with a devil.

Alternatively he's not aware of it. Like Aloy explores some ruin and finds a security feed and gets Rost muttering to himself wandering through the ruin tracking one of his targets unaware he's being recorded.

We screaming “gently caress Ted Lasso” till the death of us. Though I’ll admit that Ted Lasso would have been a lot kinder when killing all the alphas. He probably would have given a motivational speech so moving that they would have begged him to suck all the air out of the room.

I could see Jason Sudekis playing Ted Faro live-action, or voicing him if Netflix did an animated adaptation.
