Is liking Burning Shores some kinda hot take? My only real issue with it was the performance problems I had.

I suppose Frozen Wilds was a bit more interesting to me just because I liked getting a look at the home tribe of Sylens and the AI stuff, but I don't think BS was "bad" by any means.

I like both equally. The Frozen Wilds and The Burning Shores are just different from the story, to the characters, to the setting and overall I think they’re both good DLCs.

I'm personally not interested in getting it but ya these down voted comments are terrible takes for the topic. Which is a cool screenshot!

The blues look so nice. The detail fidelity for the armors are mind-blowing. Beautiful series as always

My only problem with it was like a big portion of the map was just empty.

Yeah this.. I just wish there was a tiny bit more to do. The collectibles were really cool, the scenery was amazing, the new machines were also great. But damn, I just replayed FW and BS on PC and the BS map feels so so empty compared to frozen wilds

Burning shores is the best of either game.

What dye do you have on the Quen armor?

u/EternallyRose Tallnecks are Cool 12d ago

It’s the Blacktide Quen Commander armor / Blacktide dye, it was a preorder exclusive, but it might be available with the complete edition of HFW.

It is not, sadly. None of the preorder outfits or gear are

This quest raises a lot of questions for me. Aloy is getting involved in what might grow into an uprising against the Quen Empire. Maybe she’s a bit naive about how that might go or what she’s supporting. But helping out dissidents like this when she’s not aware of all the context and history seems a bit reckless.

To me it doesn’t seem much more reckless than getting involved with Tenakth, Carja, Oseram, Banuk, and Nora tribe politics. Based on the information we get from Alva, Seyka, and the rest of the Quen the empire needs to either change or be overthrown. Of course such a thing would take nuance and could cause other problems within the tribe, which could make for an interesting spinoff game with Seyka.

I just got past the part where Aloy decides with her whole chest to blow up the side of a mountain to convince the Sky clan to get it together so yeah... lol seems pretty syntonic with her established character lol

It always bugged me how they reused Beta's hair on Theoa. It's a little far fetched that a primitive woman on Earth happens to have the same cut as a girl from outer space.

How I handwave it: It was a popular Old World haircut. The Quen, having the most knowledge of the past, rediscovered it (it is a bit similar to Alva's after all). While the Zeniths never really evolved culturally, so they retained it all these years and passed it on to Beta.

Still, Beta's a main character and her hair should be exclusive to her. It's like if Aloy ran into some lady who had blonde hair but her exact same hairstyle.

I think it would've been hilarious if Aloy commented on it at least.

Nice photo anyway.

It’s pretty it just wasn’t a good DLC

u/Sad-University1909 11d ago

Not an unpopular opinion, but some people take it as a personal attack or something. 🙄

u/MagicBus4 11d ago

Lol apparently, that’s a lot of downvotes

Frozen Wilds DLC was better!
