Doesn't sound like a great ending. The rest of the Alphas were already going squirrelly being cooped up like they were and with the prospect of spending the rest of their lives that way. Doing it alone would suck.

Ted didn't go alone. It's mentioned in exactly 1 datapoint but just before the glitch he joined a cult called "Pantah Antimod" and the cult's leader and some of their most loyal subjects were locked in Thebes with him.

Oh, interesting. They aren't mentioned anytime else? Not gonna lie, that seems like it raises the probability of more Faro shenanigans in the new game. Sylens also mentioned something about cryogenics, right?

Well basically there's a log in the main FAS building that says Ted is shopping around for religions, then when you get to GAIA one of the Alphas mentions that Ted Faro is locked away with "nothing but sex robots and Pantah Antimod weirdoes" Beyond that no, their core tenets or who their founder is goes unmentioned.

If I had to guess just from the name, they're against some kind of body modification either genetic or getting tricked out prosthetics, however "Pantah" doesn't mean anything but the vibe I get from it is vaguely Indian. So my guess is they're some kind of wellness scam that lost the thread when robots ate the world

I'll admit, seeing Lance Reddick be genuinely happy to play Sylens made my day :allears:

Sylens would give his right arm to be able to talk to you, an idiot goon, for a couple hours

To be fair that's true for every historian, the only difference is he's just as willing to donate someone else's right arm

What I want to know is how Aloy got the idea that it was ok to walk into a restaurant kitchen and just re-arrange the onions for some reason. Can't wait until the 18th and I get the context for that

I can't deal with the fact that the writers of the first game believed humanity could solve the climate crisis.

That's actually what I love about this game. It posits a hypothetical future where NotMusk invents solar powered luxury vehicles that save the planet on a physical level, but the geopolitical environment still favors quarterly profits for shareholders above all other factors. Thus the world is just as doomed as it would be if he skipped the first step and went to make Terminators right off the bat

Aloy finds Travis Rate’s massive porn drive and Sylens demands it for research.

I unironically think this will happen. According to one data-log there is at least one copy of Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom somewhere in Gaia Prime, Aloy just didn't find it in her initial search.

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.
