Incredibly special comm for my dear friend @niinakaniin

A tribute to one of her photos from the Subfunction series a while back. Which I adore. Her skill with vp makes it truly an art form and inspiration. I am so honored I got to do this for her!

Confession hour: I'm worried about Odd Grata. Her being elderly, disabled, outcast, and now without her support system (Rost & Aloy) to help her survive. Maybe I have a thing for fictional elderly women living alone in the woods (Azurekka). Maybe I know real-life elderly, disabled people who live in relative social isolation. Yeah I know Aloy's got a terracidal AI on her plate, but a person is also a planet.

I feel the same way! I like to mentally add extra character interactions and such when I play so I always headcanon that Aloy asks Teb to keep an eye on Odd Grata, and to pass along to Olara to do the same (since Olara is already wandering around the wilds of the Embrace to help Brom). So between the two of them Odd Grata has some people on her side, keeping her stocked with rabbits (and an extra warm and cozy outfit for winter courtesy of our favorite stitcher).

You can find her in her usual spot after The Heart Of The Nora, though she doesn't speak, she is only praying towards All-Mother Mountain. I like to think that she does end up brought back into the tribe, since it is mentioned if Aloy interacts with the outcasts that take up residence in the old Devil's Grief bandit camp after Heart Of The Nora that they have been invited to rejoin the tribe. So I like to imagine that by the time Aloy leaves for the West, Odd Grata is safely back among her society with her buddies Teb and Olara as her honorary grandchildren helping to tend to her.

My 2,000+ hours on HZD and HFW each does speak to my skill and cognizance wrt gameplay and navigation but what makes it worthwhile is the story and the world, namely, Aloy herself. I wouldn’t enthusiastically optimize my totalistic gamesense with HZD and HFW if totalistic gamesense was my priority. Every time I come back to either of them all I want to do is make Aloy the hero that the narrative says she is. I remember starting HFW on hard difficulty and getting so pissed that taking one hit staggers you and wipes 80% of your health bar, but once I got my kit optimized I could and can BOSS ultra hard without thinking twice about my moves and expecting destruction in my wake. And that means so much to me because Aloy was warring with a hostile universe and came out on the other side as a prolific victor. It sucks that we can’t project an Aloy-centered game in the near future. I’ll still enjoy the multiplayer game even if only because it’s branded in honor of Aloy and her aptitude. But nothing can beat the satisfaction of DECIMATING a Slaughterspine and her being like, “It’s done😊”
