Beta

This is purely self indulgent.

A side quest or achievement called Beta’s Closet. Effectively while exploring, Aloy can collect normal day wear (ei not armor) for Beta to wear. A carja nobel’s dress, diviner’s shirt, a banuk cloak, things like that. It would be a fun way to incorporate the tribes a bit more, and be a nice little story line between the two of them.

Thoughts on what I would like to see:

Would love to see a actual good Zenith, looking to help against Nemesis has to be one that’s not arrogant or double crossing

Beta becoming more confident and maybe playable (could just be at the start of the game, like a tutorial on how to get back into the game but can work narratively)

Seyka return in some capacity doesn’t need to be major. Maybe he and The Quen come to help against the threat

Sylens goes out on a heroic and respectable way, in honor of the late Lance Reddick

More Sea Creature and underwater combat would be nice than focused stealth sections

I know the developers discussed multiplayer, be interesting to see only if it adds and not taint the overall experience

Set the scene:

Beta (via Focus): Aloy, I need help!

(Aloy rushes over to see Beta hiding behind some debris with small machines all around. Aloy takes them out easily and helps Beta up.)

Aloy: What were you doing out here?

Beta: I was looking for a part I need for an experiment.

Aloy: Well, if you are going to be out here, you gotta learn how to defend yourself. (Hands Beta a bow and her old spear.)

Personally I would love to see Beta take a more active role in the series. A nice training session can be a great display of sisterly bonds. Plus, it opens the door for Beta to have a badass moment in the game, maybe even save Aloy's life someday.

Also another theory I have regarding Horizon is that given that in the first game , one of the abandoned protocols of ZD Lightkeeper, that was intended to create clones that lead to the birth of Alloy, and with it being said that towards that mind uploading existed at least in a basic form,

And that Elisabet sacrificed herself to protect ZD and her actions in between that point and her death at her childhood home in which she would have required to travel across a barren wasteland overrun by robots where not documented, that there could have been a possibility that either before or after that point with or without her knowledge or against her will that a group maybe a sub group of FZ instructed by Tilda to keep her safe, Ted Fero knowing that he would need her intelligence and knowledge over ZD, another AI maybe Vast Sliver,

Or as part of the abandoned Lightkeeper project, a scan of her memories up to that point would be created, or maybe it could have been a possibility but was abandoned due to the unpredictable technology that could result in the loss of those who undertook the operation and especially Elisabet knowledge would have been to valuable to risk losing, with the mental version of her memories kept possibly unknown to the majority of people, particularly if the event happened after she left the ZD facility and maybe with her original body not surviving the process, to keep information of the event a secret, she could have been taken to her childhood home and left, with the hypothetical group being found by the Fero Plague but the copy of her mind surviving but otherwise unconscious and unaware of the events of the next 1000 years and with the possibility that Alloy accessing Alpha Administration Powers could awake her during the time of HZD/HFW,

With the possibility that in the present day Alloy would come to learn about the existence of a mental copy of Elisabet and seek her out to help with the current crisis and maybe create a blank clone body aged up to her original age and give her a biological body again, or that maybe during the time that a new body could be created Elisabet mind could be shared between Alloy and Beta with each sharing their mind could have different effects with the possibility that Alloy’s combative skills could greatly increase and in the case of Beta her already high intelligence could be increased further with the knowledge of Elisabet,

With another possibility that during the ending of Horizon 3 Alloy could be injured beyond the point of being healed in a timely manner and she could In order to defeat NEMESIS would need to have her mind uploaded into a new possibility machine body, with it being humanoid or otherwise, in effect completing the reason for NEMESIS original experiment in order to defeat it, with Elisabet being placed in Alloy’s younger body with Alloy seemingly being destroyed in the final battle, with a post credit sequence showing the other blank clone moving slightly to keep her fate ambiguous and open for future games.

What do you think, any thoughts or ideas?

D - Erend

C - Varl and Alva

B - Zo and Beta

A - Kotallo

S - Sylens

Aloy is varied from player to player so she can’t really go on this list.

That is my list. Will post a pole later for you all
