Sylens

If Shadows are our enemies then why they dont attack us if we enter their CAPITAL? If some of them can recognize us with their focuses then why they dont do it if we enter Sunfall before destroying focus network? Sylens warns us not to go there but we can just ignore that lol.

I literally started shooting some of these guards and they ignored that XD.

AND even a cutscene played where there were like 2 guards showed that had focuses and still they ignored Aloy... dumb lol. Just Sylens again told me not to go there XD.

Also I think its really a shame that there is no enemeis with focuses that would be able to see us like dont know maybe through walls etc... if not in Zero Dawn then in Forbidden West but still no such enemies even though there were those Son's of Prometheus who had focuses :-/.

Who do you think will play Aloy, Varl, Sylens etc?

One of my early theories going into HFW given the 6 month timeframe from the events of HZD, given that the Datapoint Operation Log indicates that Aloy was born in about 7 months and that Sylens was aware of everything Aloy knew and with his desire for knowledge, with ectogenic chambers in the now open ruin under Sunfall, was that he would seek to create his own clone of Elisabet to act as a key to controlling HADES, giving the end of the first game and otherwise access ZD systems, with the time in between games being just enough to allow for a new clone to be born and DNA taken from Aloy after he rescued her from the Sunring/at the ruins of G Prime, and Aloy would have needed to rescue the newborn clone from him, in a way that idea was used though with Beta and FZ without Sylens involved directly in her creation

Though I could still see the potential that Sylens could have created a new clone of Elisabet, given that while he would in some fashion have a respect for Aloy’s abilities and tenacity to survive against impossible circumstances, he would be aware that she was not unbeatable and could be killed, alongside Beta giving her history with the Zenith’s would be not so easy to manipulate or in other situations be unavailable

With the possibility given that access to ZD was ultimately gene locked to the DNA of the original Alpha’s and his tendency to plan long term, that Sylens would planning for the aftermath of NEMESIS and the potential that Aloy might fall during the conflict, he would either create a new clone of Elisabet to ensure that Aloy had a legacy in the form of someone who could take over or given the importance and status that Aloy has gained over her adventures that a successor could not fully have the same status as Aloy herself, would use the technology of NEMESIS to preform a mind upload of Aloy into a new body created to be identical to her original body, and potentially even as a test to determine if such a process could work effectively for himself

In forbidden west you can do charger races with the desert tenakth. I’m wondering how this is possible, since aloy and those associated with sylens are the only ones we know of that are capable of taming machines. So where do the other machines come from? Did I miss a plot point of them being members of regalla’s forces?

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

So I beat horizon zero dawns main campaign and when the cutscenes ended it said I had beat the last mission but it was telling me to do it again and when I when to start the frozen wilds sylens was acting like I hadn’t so I’m a little confused

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

What if Sylen's hadn't copied the Alpha Registry?

It wouldn't suprise me if sylens teaches more people to overide the machines which would cause lots of conflict if combat class maxhines get involed like the thunder jaw,fireclaw and slaughter spine could be a nice plot line for dlc.

If a few cutscenes in fw the blue Banuk cables that are embedded in the skin of sylens glow a bright blue and are noticeably not glowing in others. If he isn’t actually Banuk and he got them as a disguise, than they might have another purpose. Knowing sylans, he never does something halfway. Maybe it’s a trick of the light but maybe their glowing nature is indicative of something else. What are y’all’s thoughts.

Faro? Far Zenith? Sylens? Vast Silver? Or someone we don't even know?

And this is so annoying! We don't know anything about him other than he is the one that has found HADES, and he knows Ourea. I know keeping their silence about Sylens is reasonable, but I think it is a little bit annoying.

What do you think Sylens needs with the Tenakth? He needed the Shadow Carja to get information out of HADES and get some muscle but, they have already served their purpose. Sylens is smart and has learned from that experience but what does he still want, and how can the Tenakth help him achieve it?

Don't know if this was brought up already:

How could Sylens spy Aloy through the Focus?

Her focus had to be connected with his for that, but to my understanding a Focus is not in the eclipse network after activation, so how did he manage to get access to Aloys?
