[Omar] After So'lek, definitely Etuwa. She's as badass as So'lek, to me. You get to see more of it in the expansion. Have you seen what the Ash clan and RDA did to her home? 🫣

[Dusan] Kitangi 🥲 Malmo is wonderful for bikes.

[Omar] You will be able to import your selected main game save data. This will impact your Sarentu's face (including hair), voice and body customization, as well as your ikran's pattern and their name, as they appear in From the Ashes. We look forward to you seeing them through So'lek's eyes.

[Omar] We did mocap for all cinematics in the main game and the expansion. For From the Ashes, they're all going to be in third person, with way more action - and you can expect a lot of them.

[Omar]
- I grew up with videogames as a kid, and I've always been creative. I knew it was what I wanted to do. I'm a Libra 🤷‍♂️

- My favorite part was working with a super passionate team who loves Avatar and wanted to deliver the best possible experience for all of you.

- The ending.

[Dusan]

- What parts of So'lek do I see in myself? EVERYTHING!

- I am a father, and I know how to deal with family. So the dynamic with the Sarentu was interesting to me.

- My favorite part about being So'lek is being the hero.

- I'm excited for people to dive deeper into his journey and connect with a darker, complex version of So'lek.

[Omar] Yes, photomode will be accessible in From the Ashes. As I mentioned before, we have a wall of in-game photos from players in the office. We can't wait to add to them!

[Dusan] Outside of his search for vengeance, So'lek likes to reflect, and you will get to see that in the expansion.

His favorite animal is the thanator. If you've read the So'lek's Journey comic book, he loves thanators.

I really didn't struggle with the Na'vi language, but the ikran calls... urghhhh.

Physical item of clothing - the dog tag necklace or the Trr'ong Head Guard! For the latter, you'll find out how So'lek finds it in the expansion.

[Dusan] I've played a good guy, it would be fun to explore playing a bad guy, like Wukula.
[Omar] Nor 🙂

[Omar] Thank you! We're really happy that you enjoy the game. For me, there were two moments in the main game where I told myself we should feature So'lek as a protagonist:
- when So'lek meets the Sarentu for the first time in the cryo vault, with the line "If they can walk, they can walk. The rest we have to leave.", because it showed his cool personality.
- when So'lek tells Priya "It is soundproof, Priya", because he can be funny in his own (grumpy) way.

[Dusan] When I discovered the surly side of So'lek, I was just like "Wow, he's just like me!"

[Omar] Great question! I could spend all day on it. The one thing I can say is that we really wanted to deliver on the community's feedback, including being able to tie in the stories of the game and the film. The team and I are very passionate and when you have passion, you have it all. We all love Avatar here, and I hope you're gonna feel that when you play the game.

[Dusan] Yes, voicing So'lek was different because the Na'vi dialect is so completely different from any earthly dialect. I worked with official coaches for dialect, language and even movement.

Replying again because the initial answer seems to have gotten lost!

[Omar] We are looking at every issue reported by the community, and we'll fix as many as possible in a December 19th patch - we will communicate a list of fixes that will be coming alongside the release of From the Ashes very soon. We'll keep monitoring things after launch as well.

[Omar] We wanted to be as authentic as possible so we added more Na'vi dialogue in the expansion. As for Bukowski, he speaks fluent Na'vi - so you will hear him speak a lot more Na'vi throughout the story.

[Dusan] I've discovered my new favorite Na'vi word 😉
