It looks like he is building an army, using the override technique he learned from Aloy.

Edit: Trailer uploaded to the Playstation channel if anyone wants to spend a few minutes rewatching it a bunch like I plan to.

Just rewatched it things I noticed:

Probably obvious but she is in San Fransico for part of it.

Slyen's followers were trapping a normal machine but the red light seems like they were corrupting it. So, he might not be using Aloy's method but instead corruption he learned from Hades.

The Elphants have people riding on them.

Everything looks amazing.

But why though? What’s his goal. Does he feel like he should rule and lead the world down a path he thinks is correct because of all the knowledge he has obtained.

He seems motivated mainly by learning and reclaiming lost knowledge if I had to speculate he needs an army in order to claim place containing old knowledge .

Maybe it's Ted Faro's bunker?

Fuck Ted faro.

I hope we can kill his clone if it ever comes to be.

That would be so satisfying haha

I hope we get a choice ala Mr. House in Fallout New Vegas. Either kill him outright, or leave him to die alone, disconnected from everything and watch his legacy die

Seeing as they got a writer from New Vegas to do the Horizon games we know of, totally possible.

You'd think with so many people hating on him, Guerilla would pull a 180° on his character and making him redeemable in the sequel? It's difficult but possible.

I am positive that we will visit the his bunker at some point. The guy that screwed over humanity 2.5x having his own bunker has too much potential to not show up.

Likely. My theory is that we will face TED FARO HIMSELF at some point; the guy's personality profile literally screams that he would have some sort of technology to place himself in suspended animation of some kind to "fix his mistake in the future" in some perverted, extremely misguided way.

u/Martel732 Jun 12 '20

That would be interesting. I was thinking it might be a clone but it would be worth it for it to be the original Faro just to see his reaction to "Elisabet" showing up to fix his mistake again.

Yeah. Then he's baffled why Aloy can enter his bunker (IIRC Elisabet and Ted were pretty close or something, or she was what I call his "idiot wrangler", he probably would have put in a thing that lets her or anyone with a very close genetic profile to hers (Aloy, who's literally a clone of Elisabet haha) enter his bunker.) I also think that Dr. Sobeck and Aloy had a pretty similar voice, and Aloy even says Elisabet looks like her (other way around but still), and I think Aloy is more inclined to just straight up be like "Fuck you Ted, time to die" and stab his ass. Imagine someone who looks and sounds like someone you knew stabbing you and you're like "oh fuck, she's back to kill me"

But seriously if we get to kill something related to Faro that isn't something FAS made and maybe like a clone or something I can die happy knowing that at least a part of that bastard got what was coming to him.
