Given that Aloy due to her upbringing feels little attachment towards the Nora and her newfound love for the world and determination to saving people, I could see the potential that she might attempt to create a fully functioning and public inter-tribal organisation, essentially growing from her current group of friends that include members from almost every currently known tribe, that together with Beta, and her greater knowledge of the Old World, would both seek to introduce and integrate knowledge of the past and help prevent future crises

With the possibility that given that she views herself as Aloy despite the Nora, and her own disinterest in being venerated as the Anointed by the rest of the Nora, that Aloy would in some capacity self identify with her newfound organisation, maybe named after Zero Dawn, and given that she has currently only fully known a about the various tribes of North America, and to help heal the world in the aftermath of whatever damage caused by NEMESIS, would set out on a global spanning mission to bring together the various tribes across the world

As much as l don't want it to happen, I believe she might fall during the battle, which in my opinion does make sense; considering how she has been given everything by the time of BS (family, friends, love). And what @JRY654 YD123 said, it could be Beta doing all of that, with the help of others - as if continuing and honoring Aloy's legacy.

@Aniu18

Though I do consider the idea that Aloy might be killed during the battle against NEMESIS, given that her character development during HFW was after trying to emulate Elisabet and nearly losing everything, only to understand that she was not a complete copy of Elisabet and be her own individual, that while Aloy would given her character be more than willing to sacrifice herself to protect the world, that sacrificing herself might be too similar to Elisabet’s ending given Aloy’s previous character development

If there was an event where Aloy not be the focus for the immediate future after H3, I could imagine an ending where she might be critically injured in the final battle where the scene would fade to black, though given that Cryogenic technology had been developed to Far Zenith, she could be placed in cryogenic sleep to allow her injuries to heal in a hidden New Game Plus Ultra mode secret ending, with her survival kept secret by her friends from the world to protect her from those who might either seek to worship or harm her until she was completely healed

With a potential reference could be in Brin referencing to Aloy that in his final vision of the future that she was “fallen, pale as snow-flash… eyes staring open”. I could take it to in a stretch be a foreshadow of Beta giving that she was rescued by Aloy in the Ninmah Lab giving that she cryogenically froze herself, with the possibility that given that cryogenic sleep would effectively freeze someone in time that it might an indication that Aloy at some point might be frozen in cryogenic sleep

JRY654 YD123 A Horizion version of NATO would be cool.

As for the poll, moving to Meridian would be a happy ending. She's living in a perfect, beautiful city with millions of people. Cool as that would be, I'm very surprised no one thinks she'll return to the Sacred Lands, which would be the perfect ending to her character. Think about it for a second, that's where she grew up, where her best friend was from and where her dad lived. Returning to a quiet life in Rost's house with Seyka sounds perfect, as it's not only where her journey began, but is also the first thing players ever see. I don't really see how she could keep fighting for people's safety, as I believe H3 will end with the machines being friendly to the humans; and that humans will be at peace, so her fighting for people's safety would kinda be pointless, especially when she's been super busy. I think her character needs to be developed against this.

In regards to Aloy returning to the Sacred Lands after defeating NEMESIS and living the rest of her life in her old home, I do see your point, though given Aloy’s history with the Nora and not seeing her old house as a home without Rost himself being alive I think that Aloy would not permanently live there, though I do see the possibility given the importance to both Aloy and Beta, and think that it’s lack of appearance during HFW given the geographic area was a missed opportunity, that in the aftermath of defeating NEMESIS both sisters would seek to rebuild Elisabet’s old childhood home, both with elements of the Old and New World, I could even imagine that Elisabet’s old home could be the staging area before the final battle against NEMESIS given its emotionally connection with both sisters 

Though I do believe that by the end of H3 that the machines created by ZD would in some fashion be peaceful towards humanity, I'm think there would be some sort of threat that would need to be would be in the future, if NEMESES was defeated without any consequences either in defeating it, there would be a lack of stakes, maybe given that the Specters lack an override, if NEMESES creates its own machines, maybe given the resemblance between the Specter and the Scarab, it in addition to other machines could create updated versions of the remaining machines of the Chariot Line, with some being left after NEMESIS was destroyed and inactive though could become a threat in the future

I can also see the possibility that if Aloy and Beta did create a global inter tribal organisation, that they would reveal the truth about the downfall of the Old World and the history of Zero Dawn, either in its entirety and unfiltered through the current tribes cultural landscape or at least during the crisis against NEMESIS be willing to somewhat accept painting the history of Zero Dawn in mythical forms until the crisis had passed, though possibly avoiding portraying themselves as a mythical chosen one, not wanting to add to the view of Aloy and perhaps Beta as another Anointed of the Nora or Ansestor Reborn by the Quen,

With the possibility that during the arrival of NEMESIS and the current biosphere degradation the world was currently experiencing, that Zero Dawn would suffer catastrophic damage from the defeat of NEMESIS and some aspects of the terraforming system would loss some of their effectiveness at least to the point where humanity would not survive fully, with Aloy bringing together the various tribes to have them help in maintaining the terraforming system, including aspects that were previously inaccessible due to the loss of APOLLO and being able to study from its vast database of human history and technology

JRY654 YD123 I feel like the two "sisters" rebuilding Elizibet's home defeats the purpose of Aloy and Elizibet's "development" which is set up throughout the first to games: Aloy has a weird connection with a dead person who she's cloned after, and whom she's never known. H3, to me at least, will probably make them feel less strongly. I also understand your point about H3's ending, where there would be no sense of stakes if the machines just turned peaceful.

But all in all, the option of travelling around the world is a pretty strange turn of events. It's okay I guess, but that doesn't make sense for her to do: it would be an odd and unsatisfying ending.

But my favorite, She will die in battle, perfect! A heroic sacrifice during the final fight against Nemesis would be a tragic and fantastic end to her character. Picture this: Nemesis floats above Bonewhite Tear, hovering in the form of a giant, nanotech Metal Devil. Aloy, faced with no other option, attacks him, unleashing all her abilities upon the evil machine. Sylens crashes the Odyessy into Nemesis' core, blow the creature up, so that Aloy can deliver the final blow. She destroys the creature, but meets the same fate as her mysterious mentor, and the actor who played him. She perishes, and suddenly: Boom. Her theme song plays at its fullest weight, as we're flashed with images of her throughout the series. A truly heartbreaking, and emotionally powerful scene, one that will surely be a satisfying, but tragic, conclusion to one of the best charectors, not in video games, but all fiction.

Regarding how Aloy and Co would manage to defeat NEMESIS, in addition to the idea of The Odyssey being crashed into NEMESIS’s physical form being part of its destruction, what other ways do you think could be used to either defeat, restrain or prevent NEMESIS’s attacks against the world;

In my mind regarding means to defend against NEMESIS given that Beta took the second Kernel from the Proving Lab and latter managed to take it with her after her escape from FZ, though after those events the second Kernel was not brought up again, with the Kernels being key to retrieving the other Subordinate Functions, with Aloy hypothetically being able to retrieve the remaining two functions at once or maybe even act as the additional space needed to hold Hepth without having to risk GIAI at GEMIN

Maybe in the third game given that NEMESIS had already been able to overcome the security defences of a fully functioning GIAI, maybe Beta would develop several different Kernels that would individually hold copies of the Subordinate Functions and GIAI and hide them in different ways as a further backup mechanism in the case where NEMESIS overwhelmed ZD again, allowing for the it’s system to endure another similar attack 

As for a similar idea given the Subordinate Functions though not intended to be a set of true AIs like GIAI, they could be turned into a greater AI to protect them, maybe as a sense of characterisation could have been given a digital human form that would have taken inspiration from their original Greek counterparts, it would have been interesting to see Apollo taking physical inspiration from Athens and Minerva from Sparta or maybe even DEMETER and ARTEMIS taking plant or animal forms, in addition to a greater capacity to communicate and articulate ideas, maybe manifesting themselves in the edge of GIAI’s dome in the base

Maybe in the next game in order to further empower GIAI to be able to take on NEMESIS maybe the Subordinate Functions would need to be further developed to in turn enable GIAI greater computing capabilities, potentially by deliberately using a modified version of NEMEIS’s signal to in a controlled way turn the Subordinate Functions into full AI’s that would work in tandem with GIAI, as several of them such as MINERVA, AETHER, POSEIDON, and DEMETER were able to be convinced or even welcomed to return to GIAI, granting them a human level of intelligence that would have originally appeared only in GIAI, particularly MINERVA given her cybersecurity expertise to digitally protect ZD

As for means to attack NEMESIS, potentially MINERVA’s a potential revered engineered version of the Extinction Signal could be created that similar to the original version that split GIAI and her subordinate functions could be sent to NEMESIS that would split the individual minds of FZ that makes up NEMEIS either weakening it by dividing and conquering the individual digital versions of FZ or allowing the digital version of FZ to given their normal personalities could weaken NEMESIS

Another possibility could be to using AETHER with its power over the sky and atmosphere could be to create large electromagnetic storms across the planet that would force NEMESIS, if it requires a physical presence on Earth, to land on predetermined areas in Earth without the presence of Tribes to be harmed and by making use of the other Subordinate Functions would turn the area into an inhospitable environment for NEMESIS, possibly having POSEIDON to create localised flooding conditions to physically drown NEMESIS or keep it in place by forcing it into a situation where it could not survive, with HEPHAESTUS either independently or working with GIAI would attack it

Another possibility could be that given that it was made up of failed copies of the minds of FZ, that Aloy and Co would be able to take advantage of the various mental characteristics and traits of FZ, such as their overwhelming overconfidence and egotistical image of themselves. As a do not think that any version of Tilda would be able to kill a “superior copy” of Elisabet, maybe leading to a situation where NEMESIS might manifest itself using holograms of the individuals used to create it, imagine several hundred versions of Tilda’s fragmented mind hosted on holographic servitors with fighting styles, (not at all a reference to The Matrix)

In the aftermath of NEMESIS given what is known in the current lore, what do you think might be the next big threat or storyline after the current trilogy is completed, given the report that GG has plans for at least 16 different Horizon Projects;

In my mind given that Far Zenith was originally revealed in the first game only in the form of various datapoints, albeit ones that were clearly in the line of where the player would easily find them, that given that before the Faro Plague there were a number of things that could have ended the world yet ultimately did not until the Faro Plague, such as potentially during an expedition into an Old World location an unwittingly unleashed the virus created by Naysay Doom

As for another idea, given the high probability that the true knowledge of the fall of the Old World and the history of ZD would in some fashion become commonplace during Aloy’s attempt to rally the world against NEMESIS, that in the event of Aloy’s death or otherwise incapacitation for a prolonged duration, that without her charismatic presence keeping everything together against a common enemy, that the various tribes would have their own interpretations of Aloy’s legacy,
