exquisite tea posted:The only companionship Aloy needs in the sequel is a robo-doggie that gathers herbs for you and can pet at any time by pressing triangle. This. I’m sorta glad they deliberately shut down the romance arcs in HZD. Really excited to see where they go with the sequel.

Smirking_Serpent posted:Aloy had a decent rapport with Erend, but her chemistry with Talanah was something else. The new DLC Carja armor is almost identical to Talanah's so now you can hunt with your favorite sunhawk sis in style.

8-Bit Scholar posted:It'd be weird for one of the first big AAA open world RPG franchises to have a woman as the protagonist not offer romance options when literally every other similar title has done the same thing to some extent or another. It's a matter of "why not?" How about 'why'? Aloy's busy saving the world, she doesn't need to be in a relationship to be a fully-rounded individual.

haveblue posted:The only thing that struck me as weird about HZD's outfits and character designs was maintaining the same style into the DLC where they go to such lengths to make it clear that it's really loving cold. Aloy is constantly shivering and complaining but there are NPCs running around with no sleeves or shirts and snow caking on their exposed skin I actually think that can be explained using the real world. Places all around the world are of varying temps. When I visited Dubai for work it was sweltering for me as I come from rainy England. However the people who live there wore the regular kind of clothes I could not bear to be in. I assume the people in the new dlc are native to that area and do not think anything of it. (I have not played the dlc yet so if I am wrong whoops! I cannot wait to play it though!)

Sorry, are you saying that she does? VideoGames posted:I actually think that can be explained using the real world. Places all around the world are of varying temps.

I assume the people in the new dlc are native to that area and do not think anything of it. From what I've noticed, most people are covered with furs - the ones that aren't tend to be a little mystical, shamans and such, and are covered with glowing blue, uh, wires, or something, which I assumed were doing something. I might be forgetting others though.

You'd think goons would take comfort in the idea that you can lead a meaningful and fulfilling life without being with someone.

That seems expensive for black Friday. I bought mine for 299€ in some random sale over here. Are you lot getting shafted price wise? Weird to see the U.S. prices higher for once.

When did we start expecting romance options in games about robot dinosaurs and poo poo? I agree that relationship stuff has made pretty much all games except possibly the Witcher 3 worse and I’m definitely mostly talking about bioware games but they also totally ruined GTAIV

I didn't notice that until I was running around Meridan to remember when the hell everything was and saw her in it. Gonna be fun in NG+! Speaking of Talanah, it always bummed me out that she doesn't appear in the post final-boss cutscene. I know she's one of those "optional allies" but she helps out with that fight dammit and should show up!
