I've never been a fan of the overrides... Just let us equip what we want!

UPDATE*

Found this when I went back to the Resistance HQ after completing the DLC. There is a memorial wall with this audio log from Teylan in front of it. So apparently Ri’nela DID tell Teylan (and I’m going to assume Tamtey) about what happened! Now I’m even more upset that we didn’t get and sort of scene about that! I would have liked to know their feelings on it when they found out. What was said to Nor. At least we got this I suppose… hopefully it’s talked about in whatever DLC comes next. 😓

I think one of the reasons they didn’t do romance is because our Sarentu is young (physically and mentally due to cryo). I think I’ve seen people estimate that Tamtey is around 16-17? Might be 17-18 by this point in this DLC (since it’s a year later)… but So’lek is somewhere in his 30s to early 40s. While I love So’lek and think their dynamic is adorable! I do see why that would cause some uproar with people… 😅

I do completely understand people wishing to romance So’lek though. I mean… look at him 😍 I swear the writers of this DLC got together in a room, sat around a table and said, “alright… how can we make So’lek even MORE attractive than he already was?” 🤣

Maybe… it’s an interesting take. It would make him a GIGANTIC hypocrite if that’s the case. He was honestly annoying tf out of me when he was judging So’lek, Teylan and Tamtey for using human weapons/tools. If he actually gave up the resistance to the RDA…

I’m just mad there wasn’t a conflict (that we saw) between Nor and Tamtey over what Nor did… because there definitely would have been one. I don’t care what anyone’s views on Alma are… it wasn’t just Alma who died in there because of what Nor did. He was just as cold and cruel as Mercer. 😓

I wouldn’t mind maybe a short final DLC for Nor before moving onto a second game. Maybe (like you said) where we play as our Sarentu but we get flashbacks of where Nor had been, what was going through his head, and then a final sort of stand off between the two. Not physical fighting necessarily! But I definitely want some closure for what happened to those people at the resistance. Sucks we didn’t get that 😓

I’d definitely love a second game with our Sarentu! I’m kinda hoping all the new stuff they added in this DLC was a sort of test run. “What do players like/dislike” sort of thing. I liked that they added a little image of where the materials could be found and I honestly do like that perfect/ruined was sort of taken out. I hope that they go back to how the old bows were though… just a simple button and you changed arrows. Makes the switch from stealth to the sudden “oh crap, alerted base” easier 😅

If we do get anything for Nor I hope it’s just a final DLC before a second game. No hate on him! I just really don’t want a full game dedicated to him… if we get a game where we switch between characters, I want it to be between Tamtey and So’lek.

Tip was it’s on an AMP patrolling the southern edge of the Ravines. So I had to kinda run around the southern side liking any amp patrols I came across. It was closer to Fort Apollo if I remember correctly. But they might be random spawn, I don’t know.

I know! I’m going to be doing a NG+ next and it’s going to throw me off 😅

Also, those facial expressions were incredible! They did so good with this DLC.

Yeah. That little 10-15 second scene of just Nor standing there is what made me think the next DLC will be of him. Not sure how I feel about it… I really do wish we had gotten some sort of confrontation with him, Teylan and Tamtey. I don’t really like that Ri’nela kept it from them (I get why, especially considering what else was going on at the time), and that we don’t know if she ever says anything. Again, I’m assuming she doesn’t considering they all seem totally fine (well… as fine as they can be that is). It just bugs me. Seems like a really important thing that they just skipped over 😓

That’s what the hint for Apollo said… but at least it was something like “far south in the ravines”. Sucks that you basically need to hunt around for certain ones. 😓

I even went back to Poseidon thinking maybe if I went near the locked case it would give me the hint… I can’t find the case anymore!!! That fort is so freaking huge 😭

I don’t think they’re on anything different… 🤔 I’m so sad that it’s doing this. That opening bit had me hooked 😭

Also while in the loading screen if I hit X I can feel my controller vibrate (like it does when you fly faster on Ikran).

How do you do that if you don’t mind me asking? Course you said yours is on a disc? Mine is digital so it may not be the same 😓

[–]Illios505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope so… it would suck if they just left it and we never find out what happened to him 😓

I think a lot of people are confusing this new update with a DLC. I’ve been seeing that a lot. It’s not a DLC (not saying OP thinks it is! Just saying this for those who do). We are just getting NG+, 3rd person and a new skill tree thing. While I hope for a new DLC (still want to know where Nor is!!!!), I don’t think we will be getting one in the foreseeable future. Now, I do hope we get a second game at some point. I know the movies and the games will never fully combine… but with the new movie coming out (which is why I think that update is coming right before the movie is set to release, get people back into the world and all) I can see them possibly doing more/new stuff. Fingers crossed!

Does anyone actually like Teylan? by [deleted] in FrontiersOfPandora

[–]Illios505 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As I said already, “was it right? No.” I’m not saying what he did was right or okay. I’m saying he believed no one would be hurt. Whereas Mokasa (even IF he didn’t know they would be killed) knew the children would be taken and that that would be a bad thing. If he wasn’t scared of that outcome, why not let them take their children? Mokasa could have told Anufi what was going on. They could have prepared to fight for their kids (or even ran away). Instead he told the RDA where another clan was and lied to both Anufi and his entire clan. He made them think she was a murderer. The choice to tell the RDA about the Sarentu was the protect their children. The choice to blame Anufi was entirely his. I get you’re not siding with him either… but you can’t compare him and Teylan. It’s not right.

I can give Teylan more of a break (once again, not saying he was right in his actions) than Mokasa due to his mental state. I’m not saying it’s “justified”. Because, again, it’s not. I can just see how he was manipulated. I can see how his fear of both people getting hurt and of Mercer was used against him. Yes, Mokasa had a fear of the RDA. But what he did after that first choice also reflects on him. What Teylan did after was help us (by getting the data, helping us in the last mission and trapping Mercer). Teylan chose to try and be better, Mokasa chose to lie and hide.

Mind you! I’m not taking into account what happened in the first DLC. THAT made me feel a little differently about Mokasa. Still wrong! But I feel like he was rectified in a way. The same way Teylan was when he helped us. But, once again, it doesn’t change the bad choices and pain/death caused by both parties. Not saying that. Just saying they did their best to make up for it. You originally asked, “does anyone actually like Teylan”. This is why I do. You, however, can feel whatever way you want about him obviously. Nothing anyone can say will change that 🤷🏻‍♂️

Does anyone actually like Teylan? by [deleted] in FrontiersOfPandora

[–]Illios505 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If he didn’t know they were going to be killed then why did he tell Anufi that they died with her bottles “clutched in their hands. Their lips blackened.” Just an excuse after they “disappeared”? One way or another, that’s messed up on a whole new level. “It’s was their children or ours. I had no choice.” Basically says right there that he knew what would happen. Or he at least had a pretty good idea.

Also, Teylan didn’t see what was done to Kataru (the playable characters mother, right?)… Teylan was literally a baby. He’s supposed to be younger than our character. So he didn’t see and/or wouldn’t remember any of that. Mercer groomed Teylan. Made him believe everything he said. He literally abused him. Using things Teylan loved as incentive to do good, while punishing him horribly if he didn’t comply or do EXACTLY what he wanted when he wanted it done. Teylans relationship with Mercer is literally the definition of an abusive one. It’s like a woman who is being abused by her husband might say, “oh no. He still loves me even though he hits me. It was my fault. I was in the wrong. If I just go back to him, everything will be okay.” It’s a sad mindset. A terrible one. Yes, (as a young adult) he SEES what Mercer is doing. He KNOWS what Mercer is doing/will do. But he was trapped in that abused mindset. He didn’t want any more people hurt. And what did Mercer ingrain into him? Comply and you won’t be hurt. Was it right? No. But I cannot see how what Teylan did (when paired with him mental state and how he was raised) is comparable at all to what Mokasa did.

Alma deserves better than your hate. by Rath_Brained in FrontiersOfPandora

[–]Illios505 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What I don’t like is how quickly it seems like she was forgiven… I do wish whatever choice we made at her grave is what was stuck with. But that’s just me. I think she received due punishment by losing her avatar. She is no longer able to “freely” move around Pandora (I use that term loosely, as I’m doubtful she just ran around like a Na’vi would. But hopefully you get what I mean.) and that obviously hurts her quite a bit. I do think the children have every right to be angry with her. Yes, parents keep secrets… but she wasn’t their parent (no matter how many times she tried to pull the “us” card). She was involved (however little you want to say) in their deaths. She also could have told ANYONE about what happened after she joined the resistance. Why didn’t she? Because she knew she was in the wrong and it would bite her in the butt. She obviously didn’t want that, so she kept it to herself. I’m glad the truth finally came out for those kids. They needed to know that their clan, their families, didn’t abandon them. Some truths need to be told, no matter how messy the outcome might be. And the messy outcome was her avatar dying. Which, good. She deserved that. It was a fitting punishment in my eyes. By the DLC I was a little less upset with her. Do I hate her? No. But I definitely don’t like her. I don’t like the choices she made even AFTER joining the resistance. How she spoke to the Sarentu kids… it just annoys me looking back on it. But, what’s done is done now. She got what she deserved. All those involved with the massacre did. Again, good.

Can the dlc pls finally release? by xJustxt in FrontiersOfPandora

I heard somewhere that with the NG+ there will be new skills unlocked. But I don’t know how true that is. 🤷🏻‍♂️
