i’m super happy that someone is lp’ing this game! this is my favorite game by far this year!
Are you going to try to 100% it or did the main storyline first and then go back to the side quests?
I’ll be going for 100% quest completion as far as the story and side quests go, and anything I miss along the way, I’ll definitely go get them when I can.
I will, however, be avoiding starting some side quests until I’m positive I can complete them (somewhat) quickly, since some of them take you far across the map before you’re ready.

I committed to playing Nier and Persona this year and missed Horizon Zero Dawn. I’m super happy to see this LP get started 
all i can say is that i’m super stoked that they have a DLC coming out soon.
Yes, I did not expect a Horizon announcement at E3, but that was very cool!
We’re almost ready for the proving; we just need a new weapon and Rost’s final lesson. In my bestiary videos, I’ll be showing off combat with the machine types in more detail.
Also, this and the next episode are just some side quests as we prepare for the proving, so I’ll try to get the video out sooner than I normally would.

The voice acting in this game is so much better than the lip syncing, that it’s kind of distracting.
Okay. So. The lipsyncing is not as great, no.
But there might be some points in the game where the voices just completely desync, as that happened during my last playthrough. If that happens, I’ll see what I can do in post to correct that, but it may just be a problem that happens.
That’s a damn shame, because everything else in this game (animations, voice acting, ambient music, environmental design, character design) appears to have been highly polished.
By the way, if you guys haven’t seen this yet, this cosplay is absolutely amazing!
everything i heard about this game compared it to nier automata, but from what you’ve shown us so far, that comparison doesn’t do it justice. i am looking forward seeing more.

Let’s finish up some side quests and go see what Rost has in store for us. We get to encounter a cool, new machine, too!
I can kind of see that, but N:A leans much farther into Science Fantasy territory than this game does. HZD isn’t necessarily hard sci-fi, but it stays much closer to the realm of reality. Horizon often feels like the new Tomb Raider games, but with a mix of a couple other contemporary series, like the Batman Arkham games.

Let me guess: Somewhere along the line, we are going to be able to tame and ride a Watcher.
Just before the Proving, the Nora celebrate with a huge festival and feast, but with the arrival of us and another tribe or two, things are a little tense. It certainly doesn’t help how Rost left us at the gate.
Either way, we’re just a day away from answers, and then we’ve got a few things to take care of.

Wow thank you for doing this game. I don’t have time to dig into games much anymore but this one looks awesome. I love that you’re digging through all the dialogue trees.
I do have one request/suggestion, could you slow down every so often and look at the landscapes? Mothers Heart and the Embrace look fantastic but we’re zipping around so much it’s hard to appreciate!
Anyway, thanks.
Why do we even want to join the Nora anyway? They just seem like such douchenozzles. Let’s go with Muttonchops McGee and see Meridian instead.
Surely the facts of our origins can’t be that exciting?
I can definitely do that. I’ve also had a plan to show off the photo mode since it is what I’m using to get (most of) the thumbnails for the videos.
Oddly enough, photo mode is enabled during this first visit to Mother’s Heart, but I wasn’t allowed to move the camera to get a good shot. They had it disabled for some reason.
Oh, and the pace is going to slow down a lot after the next 2 (I think) videos, as that is when the world truly opens up for us to just go off and do stuff.
Also, I’m not ignoring your responses in this thread, but I’m just hesitant to suggest at anything since you may be a little closer to the truth than you might think…
Oh, I’m fine with stumbling around in the dark. I have no foreknowledge of this game, I’m just guessing based on previous knowledge how openworld games usually work.
I also want to engage with the thread!
Today’s the day we run the Proving to… prove that we’re good enough for the Nora, but we want to win if we’re ever going to get answers about our mother.
