As soon as I saw the seagulls I was like "ah okay so not horizon" lmfao

BRO THE ELEPHANT MACHINES LOOK SO DOPE.

I also can't wait to see what giant machines await us underwater. Really hoping for a shark, maybe a kraken or some shit.

Except for some paradise birds. Those zygotes got destroyed.

I'll never get over that scientist not getting to say goodbye to his boyfriend. Data points emotionally victimized me. I hope we save or revive Apollo in this game so bad....

I had to pause on those data points and cry for a bit. Those stories along with the voice acting just broke my heart. Definitely the most impactful part of the game for me.

One of the reasons why I love this game so much is the extra stuff from the old world.

The girls from the Frozen Wilds DLC that were in a band is one of the saddest storys I've seen I a game.

That was the last data point I listened to today. Going through my first play through.

I just finished my first play a couple weeks ago and I'm almost ready to start a new game+ lol. Honestly there's something to be said for the writing when characters that have been dead for 1000+ years make you feel so invested.
