I find it ironic and kinda funny that the name of the ship on the light at the end of all things poster is named "In Tenebris" which is Latin for " in the darkness". Kinda funny.
Awesome video ToastyBits! I've loved your content so much these past few months. Very eye opening and interesting stuff. I whole heartedly appreciate the work and time that goes into this Toasty. Keep up the good work. ☺️👍🏼
granted, i’m writing this before i watch the video, but i personally believe that the story will end with astrid staying at PM and mackenzie leaving on that big ol’ boat and becoming a character of some kind in TLD2 - i swear i saw someone that looked like him in the trailer, which is essentially what i’m basing most of this on xP
@ToastyBits ahhh yea i just saw that clip from the trailer in your video here, might still be an interesting idea tho to have him appear somewhere in one of those survivor camps they talked about, or even looking for more of those shielded government buildings that were mentioned - the nuclear power plant in TLD2 could be a sign of something like that, or maybe i’ve just played too much S.T.A.L.K.E.R. :p
I doubt he or anyone from the first game will make an appearance. WINTERMUTE is supposed to be about Will and Astrid and GBI and that story ends with Ep. 5. There will probably be very few references to the first game.
Very interesting. I am still wondering if we will ever learn what happened to the foremen from the tales. I know there might not be any significant overlap between survival and wintermute, but this story is told in a very tightly knit fashion. The foreman seems like a dangling thread. I thought for the longest time he might be the trader and once I finished the traders tale, I will know if that could be in any way possible, but Jeremiah is also a candidate.
I don’t think that Molly is returning in chapter 5 because Mathis told Will at the end of chapter 2 that he had killed some woman, and that could have been Molly
That wasn't Molly. She was chasing after them at the start of Ep. 4. She was the bow wielding hunter that killed Leclerc and was after the rest of them.
I mean... 1.0 came out in 2017,. Early access in 2014.., it has been 11 years from start and the game story is still not finished., To be fair wintermute came later but still., thats a long time for a game to be alive. Episodic releases man, feels bad to get old by waiting for game story to end
I highly doubt they will make a new region just for Ep5. I think the entire premise of Ep5 will involve around surviving in an area as Will in a region close to Blackrock, and the episode will end with Will going to PM in a cutscene, just to avoid the development cost for a new region. The story might come to a close in TLD2
They already announced there is a new, WINTERMUTE exclusive region for Ep. 5 and all the major story threads are getting wrapped up. This has been in development for at least 4 years, so they've had plenty of time to make a proper ending. WINTERMUTE is getting wrapped up in TLD and it will have nothing to do with Blackfrost.
I heard a rumour the EP5 region will be exclusive to Wintermute and not available in survival mode. Do you know if this is true or not and if so what are your thoughts on this
It's not a rumor when Raphael has confirmed this. Apparently Blackrock was supposed to be WINTERMUTE exclusive until they updated survival to include it. I imagine he won't be changing his mind this time.
I suspected the flare events were worldwide, but I wasn’t certain until the trailer for the sequel game came out. I was almost disappointed, because I was waiting to learn about it with Episode 5. A bit of a spoiler, but not really a surprise. I can live with it though.
I really hated the pacing and writing decisions made with ep4. I really hope ep5 doesn't fall into the same "tell-don't-show" ditch. Mathis as a character was completely ruined for me because of that. We are told he's evil etc but we never really see him doing anything. Hes just some guy with a receiving hairline. I hope they just completely leave him out of ep5 and don't try to make ep5 into an action thriller like with ep4.
I'm not. I always wanted to be a writer of some kind. I almost decided to do a minor in writing in college. I even wrote poems and novels in high school. I'm definitely enjoying it. I have a project in the works where I can really stretch my writing chops.

It's a very fitting name considering how important light and darkness play into the game's setting.
Interesting. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long to have all our questions answered.
Yo Toasty, I can't wait for this episode. Also 15:05, sound carries easily over open water
So he definitely could hear some casual screams of death from far away.
Well, this was flippin' amazing. Right or wrong, I'm very happy you made this video and shared your vision with us all. Well done sir.

Thank you!
This is awesome, so nicely thought out and pieced together. ❤
I know the DLC finishing before Wintermute is controversial, but I like that we know the details of Rudiger's experiment now rather than after ep 5

The character that resembles him in the trailer is not the same person. They have different colored eyes.

It could be something that gets wrapped up in Ep. 5, but I think it's one of those things we are going to be left wondering about for forever.

Why would Will need to deliver the code "Wintermute" to Atwood if the flare is global? Wouldn't she know already?
Most likely, but there must be a reason why it needs to be delivered to her.
i am curious when will this final episode of a game so dear to me be released.
Hopefully very soon. Like in the next month or two.
My biggest question for Episode 5 is who or what is Methuselah. Do not like that the conflict with Mathis is unresolved.
Dammit! I knew I was missing something for this video. Either way, the Who is Methuselah video still stands as my thoughts on the topic.

@sonoranarizonan217 It's not really a spoiler. The nature of these events tell us the effects are widespread.
I really hated the pacing and writing decisions made with ep4. I really hope ep5 doesn't fall into the same "tell-don't-show" ditch. Mathis as a character was completely ruined for me because of that. We are told he's evil etc but we never really see him doing anything. Hes just some guy with a receiving hairline.

He's already confirmed to be returning in Ep. 5.
Your writing talent is wasted on the likes of us.😆
Seriously, if you're not already involved with writing on a professional level, you should be.
I'm not. I always wanted to be a writer of some kind. I almost decided to do a minor in writing in college. I even wrote poems and novels in high school. I'm definitely enjoying it. I have a project in the works where I can really stretch my writing chops.
