#you are the real mvps

I suddenly remembered this post and realized that I now had the means to investigate and try to solve this mystery.

Spoilers: I haven’t solved it… but I do have an evidence-based hypothesis!

(This post is based on my own observations and deductions. I know a few things about the game’s files because I’ve explored them, but I’m still 100% self-taught and learned “on the job”. I don’t know everything, so feel free to correct me or provide more information!)

So this is what @danaduchy found (and thank you for originally sharing this); I added colors and line breaks for more clarity:

This can be found in a document filled with lines of code regarding the game’s audio files, such as music, voice lines, and sound effects. It seems that its purpose is basically to “tell” each file how, when, and in what context it’s supposed to play in the game. So “John_Seed_Sex_Room” refers to one or several sound files.

Again, I still don’t know what everything you see in the screenshot means, but what I do know is that “MIS” means “mission”, that “KEY01” refers to a character, Nick Rye, and that “010” is basically the mission number. Here, I know that “MIS_KEY01_010” is the mission Wingman.

I assume “LP_Filter” means “low-pass filter”. In short, it’s an audio filter that removes high frequencies. You can use it, for example, if you want your audio to sound muffled like it’s coming from behind a closed door (and I’ve chosen this particular example for a good reason).

I assume the MaxRadius is the maximum distance (from its source in the game) at which a sound can be heard, and the Duration is simply the duration of the sound in seconds. Because they’re both equal to 0 and we have the words “Start” and “Stop”, I’d say the purpose of these two lines of code is simply to “tell” the audio “John_Seed_Sex_Room” to start and stop playing, or possibly to activate and deactivate the low-pass filter.

Those lines didn’t give me the actual sound file(s), so I continued to investigate and found this:

I suppose “Play_SFX” simply means “play sound effect”, and this time, these lines can actually help me find the corresponding audio files!

I was able to find and listen to “Door_Key_Pickup”, “LockedDoor_Rnd”, and “UnlockDoor_01”. They unsurprisingly and respectively are the sound of keys being picked up, someone trying to open a locked door (five different versions), and the door being unlocked. Unfortunately, “Door_Push” and “JohnSeed_SexRoom_Rnd” don’t seem to exist anymore...

As you can see, the Duration of “JohnSeed_SexRoom_Rnd” isn’t specified, but not all the files listed in the document have one, so this isn’t that strange. The MaxRadius is higher than the other sounds’ featured here, so I assume it was supposed to be heard from a longer distance. I’m not sure what Rnd means, but I think it could be the abbreviation of “round” or “rounded”. Maybe it’s the normal, unaltered version of the sound “JohnSeed_SexRoom”, unlike “JohnSeed_Sex_Room_LP_Filter” which has a low-pass filter.

The code also says this sound is from a “Scripted_Sequence” in a “Specific” context: one of the “Missions” in Holland Valley (this is what “John_Seed” means here) in relation to Nick Rye (KEY01). We already know this mission is Wingman (MIS_KEY01_010), but what we learn here is that, whatever the “sex room” thing is, it was apparently specific to this mission.

The last mention of it in the document was this:

“Stop_SFX” suggests that these lines probably exist to make the two sound effects stop playing.

So, what is “John_Seed_Sex_Room”? It seems it was an audio file (one or several sound effects) and supposed to be part of one specific mission: Wingman. There were two versions and at least one of them had a low-pass filter. In the same sequence, a locked door was apparently going to be unlocked and opened.

The objective of the mission Wingman is to go to Seed Ranch and retrieve Nick’s plane. So what if, in this mission, players were originally going to explore more rooms in the ranch… and find whatever the “sex room” was? To me, it looks like we were going to hear muffled sounds coming from a room, unlock the door, and see what and/or who was inside.

Now, I don’t think it was necessarily going to be a literal “sex room”. According to (probably deleted) NPC dialog, in an early version of the game, people were taken to John’s ranch instead of his bunker to be tortured. It’s possible that the term “sex room” was a joke name given by the devs to refer to a torture room.

In conclusion, according to my (limited) knowledge and after my investigation, I believe the “sex room” was a special room in Seed Ranch, either literally used for sex (the cult’s rules could have been different at the time) or for torture. Evidence suggests it could be found during the mission Wingman only and that there were sounds coming from behind its locked door. It seems players could unlock it with a key and, I assume, see whatever was going on inside.

That’s all I know… But if you have another hypothesis or more information about that mysterious room, don’t hesitate to share it! :)

played the level 97 dungeon on sage for the first time healing it. it was a mess. everyone died on the second boss at least once aside from the tank. we were all joking in the chat. i was laughing despite how chaotic the run was. and then me and the rdm said almost the exact same thing at the same time. i had a really bad day today and these three people actually made my day a little better because of how funny and energetic it all was

[hismercytomyjustice]

I just had a call with one of our customers at work (I’m in sales operations). He was talking about how he wasn’t sure why he couldn’t get this portal we use to work when he managed to three months ago with no issue.

And the man just straight up said:

“I don’t know if I just got dumber over the past three months or what.”

When I tell you that I DIED.

｡：ﾟﾟ(´∀｀)･｡ ʱªʱªʱª

Just. SIR!

So glad he was nice tho. Especially since I will do anything just short of faking my own death to avoid having to talk on the phone to people.

*flashbacks of being in sales when I had to make 50 calls a day minimum intensify* _(´ཀ`」 ∠)_

Every time i see a post on my dash that's blurred out because I'm filtering the dragon age tag my brain has to rerun the entire process of

I like dragon age i should click to view the post

Why would i even have dragon age filtered? Filters are for bad things and dragon age is a good thing

Oh right veilguard spoilers

Very happy that Tag Filter Brazen created just enough lag that Idle Scroll Brazen hasn't given me any spoilers yet.

Also if anyone is wondering, yes Murder Mystery is taking up a huge part of clean up animation time on MSA video 5 cause he's a big complicated bitch and I love all of our clean up artists that have to deal with him.
