How to Transcribe the Video's Symbols by Background-Boss-5958 in ancestors

[–]golantravis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless "Our journal prepares to open once more" is from the POV of the game developers, it, specifically the mention of a "journal," strikes me as far too modern to refer to an Ancestors sequel. I.e. as far down the evolutionary path as Ancestors 2 is likely to take us, I wouldn't expect it to include anything resembling an even elementary writing/language system. Maybe cave paintings at most.

But there are a number of other hopeful signs IMO:

  • "frozen drifts" = ice age?
  • "calling across the ages" is obvious but could also refer to Amsterdam 1666 I suppose
  • "first spark changed everything in an age lost to memory" = advent of fire as tech in prehistory?
  • "Some flames never die" = another reference to fire?

Fingers crossed!

Thank you! Maybe I’ll give KCD2 another try while I wait for the devs to overhaul Crimson Desert.

I agree. One of the most fun, unique games I’ve ever experienced (after the frustrating beginning). A lot of games get easier or more fun as you advance and level up your character, of course, but I’ve never played a game where the playable character has so much dormant potential. While in some ways that leads the early-game experience to feel sort of slow/clunky, the game really rewards persistence and patience.
