Nesim LIVES for teasing So'lek by grabbing all of Veyta's attention and approval, especially because she knows he wouldn't dare too much with her because she is Olo'eykte 😎

Planning out the attack

So... you know those critics that said that AFOP was basically a reskinned Far Cry?

And... you know the Severed Bonds side quests?

I PRESENT TO YOU AN AU!: Tethered Bonds AU! Where Hajir was able to save a baby Viperwolf and a baby Pululukan before ditching the RDA and joining the Resistance and they just hang around the area, providing protection while receiving love and affection! And eventually, we get side quests to where we would aquire them as buddies, like Boomer and Peaches from Far Cry 5 or the Beast Master quests from Far Cry Primal!

Here's my take on how said quests would go.

After getting more situated to the Resistance and heading out to the campfire with the other Sarentu, there would be a cutscene where a Viperwolf is just... sitting there as the doors open, panting like a dog and looking up at you calmly. Hajir rushes out and placate the whole situation, claiming that 'Apollo' is friendly. He then briefly explains that he saved him and Artemis when he defected from the RDA and that Apollo is fine once he gets to know you, however Artemis only let's So'lek approach. You assume Artemis is also a Viperwolf and move on.

Then, during one of the Severed Bonds quests, namely the one where you confront the main feral Thanators, is where Hajir suggests taking Apollo with you for extra security. You get a mini-quest where you feed him and suddenly he's your buddy!

Now Apollo brings his own sets of skills to the table: like Boomer in FC5, he can tag nearby enemies and can stealth kill any non-AMP enemies unless they in clustered groups.

And then there's Artemis.

After the Resistance move to the Clouded Forest, Alex tells you that Artemis initially took off in the chaos and has been spotted in the Clouded Forest, but is being hunted by the RDA. That's when they reveal that Artemis is not a Viperwolf, but a Pululukan, a Thanator!

And you are given the quest to go and find her. You go and kill all the RDA in the area, and then track and soothe Artemis, even forming a bond with her. So now, you have a Thanator as a buddy!

Artemis would be a mixture of Peaches the Puma and Cheeseburger the Bear from FC5 and the Sabretooth Tiger from FCP. Her skills include being unseen by enemies while in stealth, taking attention off MC during combat, and is very capable of taking out AMP suits! She can even be a mount for MC while on the ground! Making for a very formidable duo.

And why stop there! Start adding Na'vi to your buddy roster!

So'lek is an obvious choice, with his skillset in stealth and human armaments, he'd be a valuable addition.

And you can Etuwa and her Ikran as an aireal assault ally, taking enemies out from the sky like Nick Rye.

And to represent the Zeswa, non other then their Olo'eykte, Nesim, with her sharpshooting with a spear and fierce temper.

And for the Kame'tire, I have been thinking Sa'ney, the hunter who wanted to give a peaceful death to the feral Thanator that nearly killed her. Her drive and skill against the RDA will be invaluable.

And finally, Anqa should be part of the buddies too. With her Sampson and her experience, she'd be great aereal support as well.

I kinda went off on this, but I like it and I could see this being a part of the game.

I hope to hear your opinions💙
