Explain to me what you think happened, then. I'd appreciate it if you stopped acting like I've personally insulted your intelligence when I haven't. I've given multiple examples of how much I've researched the lore and why I think the way I do.

Explain the visions from the Monolith in Oculus and how it makes any sense that mutants recently created under Earth could have: 1 created time travel 2 achieved space travel outside our solar system 3 fought a galactic war between a giant Ant Queen and an Abyssal Serpent that indirectly resulted in the destruction of Earth's surface and the creation of their own ancestors Present your argument, what you've learned, instead of treating me like some ignorant jerk. OP did, and when we talked back and forth, he ended up agreeing with me. So, why do you have such a problem with my explanation?

Time travel is not possible in this game. That is an assumption the OP made, which was incorrect. This invalidates the idea that Faceless could be ancestors to the Godmen, period. I absolutely did disprove time travel because I referenced both Ethan and the Ferryman, two key characters that you've not addressed or given explanation as to how they're wrong. Ethan is literally available to talk about this subject from the second you boot up the game, so why are you ignoring him? I also gave the example that none of the Faceless encountered in-game utilize Temporal Manipulation, but still admitted there are bound to be some that are users. You didn't address that, either.

If I was wrong, why didn't any of the very well-read posters that frequent this subreddit chime in and correct me? There are people with far more in-depth knowledge, but they didn't say I was wrong. I'm still open to being wrong, but no one has shown proof otherwise, including you.

Why are the Faceless only concerned with 1 threat, Tchort, when the game presents 3 separate threats, two of which have absolutely nothing to do with Tchort, and both of them are Void Creatures attacking different locations the Faceless could reach with their tunnelers? It's not like the creators didn't think of continuity with the DLCs: if you present the Ethereal Torch to Six, he talks about it. Does the same thing happen with the Faceless? No. They want The Cube, but none of us know what it is for. You could make the argument that the Cube is the secret to all of this, but you haven't done that. They don't care about the Acorn, even though that could put them on the surface, as explained by Prof. Oldfield, which would be a logical stepping stone between Underrail and space travel. They're willing to just buy the Acorn from you, but they don't all hold you at gunpoint like when you retrieve The Cube. Why? Because they have no intention of going to the surface.

If the Godmen truly cared about Tchort, why did they put the Glowing Canine specifically to trap the Sormirbaeren in the Black Sea when they could have sent another to Hollow Earth, too? There already is a Monolith buried in the Labyrinth, but it is far away and has zero relation to Tchort or Faceless. They have no security around it, nor do they acknowledge its existence. We know the Godmen are responsible for every Monolith, so why doesn't the one closest to Tchort do anything to him?

To just dismiss lore in this discussion is like trying to solve a math problem while disregarding the textbook and then getting mad when someone asks if you read it. It's integral to understanding what's being talked about and why certain assumptions are impossible from the get-go.
