      Ted Faro started by doing environmental work (Tesla / FAS Green Robots), claiming the success of his most brillant employees as his own (Space X / Sobeck), became the richest man on Earth which only boosted his immense ego, turning him into an ultra-conservative nutcase. I mean how obvious does it has to be?

      Yes everything about screams hopeless tech bro:
      - The fact that their names are shortened enough to justify saying both the first and last name every time(3-4 syllables).
      - The fact that all they did was take credit for someone else's work and it made them the richest men on earth.
      - The fact that they have reputations written to make them seem like some kind of messiah-like figure born on to the world to usher humanity into a brighter future.
      - The fact that they would never admit that what they sell are horrible pieces of scrap that ultimately got people maimed or killed. (Tesla cars with no manual door handle and can only be opened electronically(no power, no exit), self driving cars that run pedestrians over, cybertrucks that eat people's fingers and slices open their calves)

    The fact that when Ted deletes all of humanities history, our achievements, our wonders, our shames and greatest failures…all to hide his own hubris. It actually sickened me, that is the sign of great storytelling.

      It apart of why this game is so good.
      As for ted what haunts me most is that under all that bluster of saving humanity from its past.
      He deleted Apollo to hide. So that he would not be remembered as the fool he was as the man who killed humanity twice.
      The first because of his arrogance, and then the second time because of his shame.
      Story telling like this will be remembered for generations

      I love your comment because ultimatly shows what great writing does. Faro... was humanity's savior. For better or worse his breakthroughs pushed humanity from the break of a coalpse into feudalism back into the light. And then the same traits that saved humanity... doomed it. And it drove Faro insane. He's one of the best tradgedies written in motern enteritanment history.
      On the otherhand, i despize Sobek. She's jesus. Plain and simple. She's flawless to a T, and the only bit of humanization she ever gets is in a post credits scene. It's quite a shame. I would have loved a role reversal. A Faro vs Sobek rivalry, where Faro once succeded, and Sobek failed miserably... and in the end the hubirs of succes being humanity's end while the humility of defeat being the source of hope.
      But as it stands... man what a missed opportunity with Sobek.

      I actually don’t think he did it to hide his own hubris. I think he deleted the Apollo data because he knew that humanity and people like him in the future if corrupted by the information from Apollo might make the same mistakes and be led down the same path. I don’t believe he should have made the decision solo but it wasn’t an entirely shameful decision seen through that light. At the end, I don’t think he valued whether he was remembered poorly by those that would come after, if his actions were ever brought to light.

      Were you not listening? She said she would not record what he did if he footed the bill. Apollo would have shown him as a hero, the one who funded giving life another chance, because that is what Liz, who told him no one else would know as long as he paid, promised.

    Hades isn't the villain of the game. He's just program what it was designed to do. The true Villain of the game is Ted. Not only did he destroy all life on earth, he destroyed all the knowledge in APOLLO that would have help the next generation of humans in learning from the past humans mistakes. Nope! He just deletes it just because he's didn't want to be remember for ending the world only dooming the next generation of humans in making the same mistakes again and having to learn from them again. But think of the humans that were born in the bunker. These kids grow up barely nothing or nothing at all. Not knowing how to read or write, know know what do to survive if they were let out early in the world.

    the story in this game was so haunting. When you realized that the doom of civilization was inevitable that some simple carelessness and curiousity led to our entire society being destroyed, and then How the scientists had hope for a future with the gaia system and even in a time of hopelessness and despair they still persevered to give life a chance. and the ending with Alloy finding sobecks body and hearing her talk about what she would want in a kid or legacy was just amazing. Truly great storyline, the best i;ve seen in years. If this game was a movie it'd get academy awards.

    • @CampingforCool41
      @CampingforCool41 7 років тому +12

      I agree the story was very haunting. I had expected some sort of apocalypse story explaining the fall of civilization, but not the near total extinction of life on earth- not just humans, but every plant, insect, bird, mammal, ect, ect. That would be a tragedy of unimaginable proportions. In that way, I think the storyline is much more interesting than The Witcher 3's, however, the Witcher exceeds the writing of Horizon in it's individual characters (not that Horizon's characters are bad, just not on the same level).

    This (and what we learn later) is what really pulled the rug out from under me while playing this game. These post-post apocalypse stories (you know, with all the urban overgrowth and suchity such) are usually about how yes, something apocalyptic happened, but humanity survived. We persevered.

    I crafted theories on exactly two points of the game.
    The first was who Aloy's mother was. I thought she was a Nora who left the valley and had a daughter with a Sun Kingdom man. During a raid she was injured and fled to just outside the valley. She collapsed just outside the border. Rost chose to cross it and bring her in as she passed. Aloy was able to be saved, but due to her mother's death there was disagreement on if she had been born within the valley.
    I did NOT see that Aloy was manufactured by an AI to be a genetic clone of a long dead scientist. THAT was where I started to give the wroters credit.
    For ZD, I thought I caught on. They'd wipe every piece of tech out. No more information no more tools. It'd be close to extinction, and no one would be able to repair the damage on anything. It'd mean a return to the stone age.

      Given the fact that his ultimate fate was never revealed, I would say there is a very high chance he is alive. He could have found a way to upload himself into a computer or something. The human race was pretty advanced by his time. We know that cloning was a thing thanks to Aloy herself, so he also might have been able to make copies of himself as well but with all memories intact.
      Considering he also very clearly lost his mind due to his guilty and basically erased the entire history of humanity before the Swarm under the pretence that the knowledge was a curse, its not a stretch to think he might have thought he needed to watch over the new world and erase it if he believed it was going to turn out like the old one. Plus, it really doesn’t seem likely that anyone else could have access or the knowledge to send that original signal that caused Gaia’s programs to go rouge in the first place. We also know that technology was so advanced that genetic locks were a thing, which adds further credibility to the theory that only Ted Faro himself could have issued such a fundamental command.
      I honestly can’t wait for the next game. I really hope they don’t just drop the story of fixing Gaia and finding out who sent the signal that originally corrupted her programs.

One borne out of guilt induced mental breakdown after being locked inside a bunker for months with nothing else to do but think and ponder how it's all his fault.

    One thing I just noticed when rewatching this today 2 years after completing the game. In the final record, Lis said "Don't sign, and I will make sure they and everyone else on this planet knows the real cause of the glitch", which may imply she found out exactly how the glitch was created and who exactly created it. Now, we know that something else woke Hades up via a signal transmission, I have always assumed that it's probably the Faro robot themselves figuring out about Gaia and launched a kind of counter attack, which now I think back doesn't really make sense as they are waiting for foods to eat so there's no way they would want to reverse the terraforming system. But what if the one who sent the signal is Ted himself? We know that he killed the Alphas because they knew too much and also knew how to rebuild Apollo, but what if he purged Apollo to conceal a greater secret? In a conversation, Aloy and Sylens discussed the cryo-stasis theory while talking about the possibility of Lis being alive in this future, and we know she's not but what if Ted is, what if he found a way to preserve himself, or at least his mind, and wake up in the future seeing all this, unsatisfied, and tried to reverse it. He expressed a disdain for the way humans lived and killed each other while facilitate progress in his conversation with the Alphas, and he probably was a great technician himself, able to build the backdoor with Omega privilege without any of the Alphas knowing, so I think it's not very far fetch that he might be the cause of both the past and the present catastrophes.

The robots are built on powerful AI; they’re obviously going to self-improve and use the ‘biomass as fuel’ option. Ted screwed up by not including a way to shut them down. It wasn’t really a ‘glitch’ at all. As software engineers say, ‘it’s not a bug, it’s a feature’.

The subordinate functions (when they work) are supposed to make sure flora+fauna+oceans+atmosphere are restored, the Faro Plague stays deactivated, the humans are established, that education is available, and that HADES doesn’t destroy the world unnecessarily.

    I can think of several options they didn't consider. They could have turned the rest of the Faro robots against the rogue swarm. Kept building them and hopefully destroyed the rogues. They could have evacuated to a space station in orbit or on the Moon enough people to act as caretakers for Zero Dawn instead of just leaving it all to automation. They could have tried to evacuate to Mars enough people for a viable colony. They could have used nukes in the atmosphere sufficient to create a devastating EMP shockwave that would disable all robots on the surface. Or built an undersea colony in deep ocean. There were options beside Zero Dawn the way it played out.

    • @ru_gamerandotaku2431
      @ru_gamerandotaku2431 7 місяців тому

      While I see and like what you mean I think there's some factors that are limiting them for one you're first idea of the unaffected faro bots fight the affected one is much more dangerous and risky as at any moment if they were to do that I think the rogue AI would have already hacked and turned on it's allies. As for the evacuation plan to head to space I think that with the time they have they probably won't be able to build a ship big enough and powerful enough to escape the earth as it would be heavy because of foods, drinking water and other necessities and since rockets usually launch outside that would just be a big target for the swarm and I doubt they don't have land to air missiles or long range artillery and with all the hardware a rocket has having it be hacked is also a possibility. And finally as for the sea colony I think it's also a matter of time since again 15 months would be way too short to build a sea colony one big enough that it could house atleast a country or at best a town plus if they were to go that route the biggest factor for that is it's only a matter of time before the apocalypse happens as it is said in the game the world became so uninhabitable that the only way to go outside is with a suit of armor (the one Liz was wearing and most likely the shield armor you get near the end via side quest) I doubt any filtration system can filter whatever gunk happened to the air and pump it into the colonies but if we do say the filtration system can filter the air into something breathable I doubt it will last long as again it's gonna be filtering very polluted and most likely very toxic air. As such I personally think that Liz did the right choice with zero dawn the only wrong choice was keeping faro alive and given omega access (which he most likely did himself when Liz wasn't available) and ofcourse ending the alpha's and deleting Apollo just to cover his mistakes
      Edit: as for the EMP one I think that would be a double edge sword that has atleast a chance but it's far too risky as blasting a lot of EMP's would not only disable the bots but also disable a majority of the weapons the military used such as a railgun, tanks, fighter planes and many more even regular vehicles and possibly even some power armor (again the one we see Liz wear and the armor you can get) and who's to say that they'd be actually shut down as I doubt every single machine would be affected plus we could also say that maybe when they made the bots they thought of emp shielding and they're all equipped with shields that are able to withstand a certain amount of EMP blasts

    My issue is with self replicating, sure it could happen but the issue isn't the biomass, how do the self replicating machines get the metals to self replicate, you need a rich assortment of minerals, metals, and biomass to make war machines. I know the ''metal devil'' machine had arms which seem to be able to mine, but you would need a rich assortment of natural resources to self replicate in a ''precipitous'' level.
    TBH, Faro plague in real life are humans, the human plague. The extinction has been happening for a while now. KT extinction was in an instant but most other mass extinctions took tens of thousands of years.

Also, given their massive size, Horuses possibly also carry lots of spare parts and materials into the battlefield.

    Can someone explain me, why they couldn't just drop nukes on those robots while they were still in low numbers? If i am not wrong, nuke would be more than capable of annihilating them(if laws of physics were still a thing) and even if not, after nuke explodes, there should be EMP strong enough to disable those bots). They could lose half of the planet, but half of the planet is still better than none planet at all. Especially after they knew, they have literally nothing to lose.
