I do also wish that the remaster would have at least removed the photo mode lock when you're in a town.

One of my very rare complaints about HZD is definitely that I wish there were more stealthy options, especially with bandit and eclipse camps. Like hiding bodies and whatnot. I realise there are SOME. I'm not saying there aren't. I just tend to play more of a stealth style and it's slightly annoying

I swear I'm gonna throw hands with these fuckin Carja talkin shit about the Oseram AND Erend because of Dervahl.

THIS ASSHOLE REALLY JUST CLAIMED THAT EREND MUST HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR DERVAHL GETTING SENT BACK TO THE CLAIM BECAUSE "OSERAM STICK TOGETHER"

FIRST OF ALL, SIR, FUCK YOU.

SECOND, HOW DARE YOU?

THIRD, I'M GONNA HAND YOU OVER TO EREND TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

Has anyone else spotted the discount Petra wandering around Meridian?

Look at them side by side.

Let's not also overlook this very expensive looking Carja hunting cabin Brin is living in.

And someone seems to be supplying him with Carja goods. Could he be stealing them? Maybe. But this man is hardly subtle. Or stable.

The Blameless Theory

All right, hear me out.

I don't think Marad is actually Carja. I think he's Banuk. More than that, I think he's Brin's brother.

When we first meet Brin, the voice is familiar. His face, half hidden and scarred, is also somewhat familiar. However, everything else is entirely foreign. His erratic speech, his whole attitude is something very new. Because the first time we meet a man with that face, it's unmarked. The man with that voice is all dignity and poise.

His brother.

I suspect Marad ran from justice for something terrible he'd done. He ran all the way out of the cut, trying to find a place where no one would know his face. Banuk may trickle through Meridian more now than they had decades before and they are STILL scarce. The Carja Sundom is so far removed of the ice and snow of any Banuk lands, it would be the most logical place to run. A place where they appreciated a young man with a keen mind and a talent for collecting secrets. He could start over, free and clear. Free of his brother's growing madness and the small minded conclave's control.

Meanwhile, when Brin's madness finally consumes him and he is cast out, he says he walks back. Skipping his rightful redemption, however, he carries on walking. His own people stripped him and left him for dead, and where does he head? Out into the Carja lands. Getting closer and closer to his runaway brother. The only family he has left. Shown to him after drinking the blood of the machine.

It is genuinely hilarious that Aloy shuts Sylens down so hard about his assumption that she's a flat earther, he just changes the subject.
