Sehe ich ähnlich. Ich habe eine Theorie. Über die 2 Spiele und die bisher bestehenden Konversationen mit unseren NPCs sprich Erend, Avad und Seyka etc. hatten wir immer 3 Optionen wie Aloy darauf reagieren sollte, es muss einen Grund dafür geben. Es gab immer sehr subtile Hinweise, wenn man genauer hinsieht. Jeder von uns hat seinen Liebling im Horizon Universum und darauf zielen die Entwickler hoffentlich ab - jeden anzusprechen oder zumindest dem Spieler die Entscheidungsfreiheit zu geben, das wir letztendlich im dritten und finalen Teil selber die Entscheidung treffen können wie es mit Aloys Abenteuer zu Ende geht. Sei es mit Avad, Erend oder Seyka. Denn bis jetzt wurde nicht bestätigt das Aloy ausschließlich auf Frauen steht, noch das Elisabeth „nur“ lesbisch war. Ich hoffe einfach das Guerilla das berücksichtigt. Dennoch finde ich diese riesige Spaltung innerhalb der HORIZON COMMUNITY wegen diesem Thema absolut traurig…

The "I'm not ready for this" is my Canon. We see Aloy open up about her past and how she feels, and see how she's still learning how to let herself feel. It makes sense and still progresses her character, without feeling forced, plus it leaves the 3rd game open to maybe finding herself falling for someone, despite the odds against her.

[@okapi7559]

It felt the most natural for me as well. She just began accepting help from others, embracing her friends, and feeling the pain of losing people dear to her that wasn't Rost. To jump into romance so quickly didn't click to me, but I interpret that as Guerilla saying that in the next game we will be presented with romantic choices for Aloy. I love Seyka though, and I hope she'll be in the next game. She fits Aloy to a T and is a stronger contender to be her partner

[@ArbiterofMankind]

Yeah plus. I didn’t really like the fact that Aloy would instantly fall in love with a woman she literally met a few days ago. When she’s been with Erend, Talanah, Petra, Avad, even Kotallo for wayy longer. I’m just glad they didn’t force this relationship. I can’t wait to pick my choice for Aloy.

[@borisrozental]

I chose that option too, but I chose it because in the prologue of the game, in the conversation with Avad, I chose the option that Aloy says that she'd accept his date invitation after her mission is over

[@fanlon1989]

I actually prefer the "This is too much for me" option, it's a way to let Seyka down gently while still highlighting Aloy's "gotta save the world" mentality. The "I'm not ready for this" option comes across as a lot harsher, more like the actual rejection option.

[@Alittlebitofeverything29]

The world is probably ending and I wanted her to finally find her person and she did. Lol I like that there is different options to make everyone's choice different

[@gracemesch16]

The heart option is cannon and no one can tell me otherwise and thats probably what Guerrilla intended. One of the main points of the DLC was character development for Aloy. If you choose any of the other options then what character development has Aloy made in the past two games? To keep rejecting everyone and never learn to let someone in? One of the focuses in the second game was Aloy learning to let people help her. And the DLC was Aloy learning to let herself experience feelings she’s never let herself feel. I feel like its all supposed to be a stark contrast to Elisabet. Elisabet never let herself get too close to anyone. Like Tilda for example. Elisabet also sacrificed herself for the hope of a new world. Aloy is trying to preserve the one they already have and she’s learning to accept help along the way. Guerrilla showed us the similarities Aloy and Elisabet share in the first game. The second game and especially the DLC is to highlight their differences. To show that, yes, Aloy is a direct clone of Elisabet and they share some of the same qualities, but Elisabet never let anyone in and died alone sacrificing herself for the world. Aloy is learning to accept help and letting herself feel things she would otherwise suppress. It would be a pretty boring story if Aloy did the same exact thing as Elisabet, don’t you think?

theyre both basically "maybe but not right now. maybe in the future" and therefore every option is garbage.

[@seyahtan24]

"I'm not ready for this" is the realistic choice. Aloy has Nemesis in mind and busy finding a weakness. She can't settle down yet. But at least the devs showed that they can put romance systems for the 3rd game. Interesting. I'm straight btw but Seyka was a good character.

[@gracemesch16]

She wouldn’t be settling down. The heart option was they kiss and she leaves anyway. One of the main points of the DLC was character development for Aloy. The second game she lets people help her, in the DLC she lets someone get close in a way shes never let herself feel. Maybe to set something up for the third game? 🤷‍♀️ Who knows. Personally, I didn’t want any romances. I wanted Aloy to live her life with Beta. Aloy teaching her how to hunt and Beta teaching her stuff from Apollo or something. But I see why they did it and I trust Guerrilla so I’m not too worried about it.

[@n7sorcerer419]

Yeah cramming this romance plot feels poorly handled. Two huge games of Aloy being completely mission-minded and turning down every single advance from people she has fought beside to save the world *twice* and now we’re supposed to believe this brand-new character is the only one we have the option to choose after they survive *one* DLC-sized mission together? Really hope they open up other options in the next main installment. It’s like playing Mass Effect 3 and being stuck with only Vega and Traynor as your only options.

She's good but it feels so forced because she just appeared in an EXPANSION of the SECOND GAME and now she's a romantic interest? Bullcrap, she showed chemistry and has more history with other characters since the first game like Erend or Varl (RIP T_T), narratively speaking, it doesn't make sense this "romantic" interest

[@okapi7559]

@@gracemesch16 Good points! FW shows Aloy accepting others, embracing people again after spending so many years isolated and closed off from others after losing Rost. Losing Varl makes me think that she realised she actually values them a lot and wants them close, not far, so they defeated the Zenith together at the end. This DLC shows her now willing to open up to others and be romantically involved with someone. Seyka fits her characters a lot. She's daring, strong-minded, adventurous. However, like you, I'd rather have Aloy stay single. For once, a character in a videogame isn't tied to love. And a female character, on top of that. Aloy feels the most forward and modern character so far in games, and I hope Guerilla will give us the option to keep her single in the 3rd game. If not, well... I hope Kotallo is a choice, too lol I'll have to compare him to Seyka. Seyka needs more time with Aloy and the rest of the group.

[@66Nexus]

I feel like all choices are valid to Aloy's feelings and experiences. I went with the 'Yes' choice however, because the whole game has been about her opening up to people and finding a true, personal reason to fight on, instead of trying to exemplify her genetic mother. Saying yes felt like a culmination of that journey and a narratively fitting end to the Forbidden West.

[@julia4ever1]

Amen to that 🙏

[@justanobody1713]

I definitely feel like the second game was Aloy tearing herself down trying to stand in the shoes of what is technically her former self. Through her journey I definitely think she's learned that she's Elisabet, but she's also Aloy. I hope in the next game she learns to forgive the Nora just as she learned to love and trust in her friends.

Kiss her, don't kiss her, if you don't like her for Aloy then walk away. But ultimately it's what you, the gamer wants, they gave you an option, another woman vying for Aloys heart like all the love interests who wanted her since the first game. Turn her down like everybody else if you like her as the lone wolf. Me personally, it was refreshing to see Aloy see herself and her struggles in someone else, to care so deeply that she might have hurt their feelings, to confide in them that she doesn't really know how to celebrate a win and not be pushed on it unlike every other one of her friends who gave her a hard time about it. Seyka was passionate but patient, encouraged Aloy, and fought by her side in a way we haven't really seen till now. I know we like to think our protagonist can do it all alone, but if not for Seyka, Londra probably would have won. I know we were all shipping her with other people, and that could be a real possibility in a third instalment. But, honestly to me, Seyka impacted Aloy in a huge way and to deny that much and diminish their connection (when in reality, you spent about as much time talking with her during the DLC as you did with everyone else during the main game) would be a huge injustice to both of them. Aloy can save the world and kiss a pretty girl at the same time 😂

you exchange a small bit of banter on 3 missions and thats it really,it was cringe and outta nowhere and reeked of ESG money and probs was a sony deal to get a ps5 bundle deal in exchange for making aloy a lez in exchange for a big boost in sales cause you had to buy a bundle cause single ps5s was hard to find.

[@peskygal]

I completely agree. As the player, seeing Aloy so emotionally disconnected from people around her, even ones she deeply cares for, always breaks my heart. She tries so hard to focus purely on the task at hand, that I just wanted her to experience joy. To experience being wanted, fully understood and accepted. The feelings are there no matter the choice so why does the kiss matter? In the end they still go their separate ways to do what's right in the grand scheme of things. I chose the love option because I just wanted Aloy to feel the joys of life for once, regardless of whether or not it feels rushed.

[@justanobody1713]

I personally think the most "Aloy" decision is "this is too much for me". However, that may be personal projection on my end. When the world is hanging on by a thread, with Nemesis on the horizon (no pun intended) I just don't think Aloy would personally take the time to consider love. I believe that she FEELS love, though. "this is too much", to me, means "I do, and I want it, but I need to make sure there's even a world left for it". They say "better to have loved and lost" but I disagree. I think once Aloy's adventure is over is when she'd realistically consider it. Better than agreeing to it and then watching each other die.

[@skrubknight884]

thats the nice thing, all are valid. For me i chose love since, if you think about, while Aloy did try to stay focused, it ultimately wore down on her more to stay closed off than open up to people which she learns throughout Forbidden West, particularly after Varl died before he could see the end of this long road. The world is hanging in the balance, but Aloy can also try to enjoy her feelings while she has them, as she or those she cares about might not live long enough to appreciate it.

[@AlejandroLZuvic]

I really don't get why somebody can love and fight for a cause at the same time. Do you think people don't fall in love while changing jobs, or moving cities? I know the end of the world is a bit of a bigger deal, but still.

the whole dlc has hinted at aloy and seyka having feelings for each other. the love option is the only one in my mind. justice for petra though.

First off I'm queer so don't think this comment is anti queer cuz it's not..... The biggest issue with them making Aloy queer is that they have set a precedent that they believe queer is a genetic trait that is detectable and cloneable when this is simply not the case... I'm happy there is an option to say no, but the fact that we haven't even had this choice yet with Erend or even Talanah is a huge cop out! Especially when both character had potential love interest story lines set up (talanahs being subtly hinted in comics but they threw away that idea with FW)

[@seraphitella2466]

They're probably testing the waters with this DLC to see how people respond to Aloy having a love interest and that love interest being a woman. I agree there are more fleshed out characters that could be with Aloy but let's wait and see for the third game. I also don't think they're trying to say that Sexuality is genetic, or at least not entirely. But it is also important to remember that Aloy isn't really the child of Elisabet, she's a literal AI-generated clone of her, so if her sexual preferences were transferred it would make sense without necessary saying that it's genetic, but I could be wrong depending on where they take it in horizon 3.

Fans may have wanted them together, but Aloy was never romantically interested in Avad. Erend she loves, but I always thought platonically, and I like how he accepts her friendship love as all he's likely to ever get, and doesn't push the issue, even while he wishes for more. That is life sometimes. And if you've never met someone with whom you've had an immediate "click" and attraction with, then I suppose this won't make sense to you.

I think all options are valid. Saying this imo choosing the "love" ending doesn't fit Aloy personality. Since the beginning of the first game she's been fighting to save the world and always put her relationships with people 2nd place, despite making some friends. I chose "reject I'm not ready for this" because I really think that is what Aloy thinks, with the future Nemesis problem and all, she still needs to figure out how to deal with that huge problem. I'll give a quick example, in Tlou Ellie being gay is a huge part of her, it defines her and being that way makes the game way better. In HZD and HFW I don't feel that Aloy being in a relationship adds to the story, it doesn't enrich the story so to speak. With this being said, I don't see why not after the eventual 3rd game she couldn't start a relationship with a woman after all the problems are dealt with. But that's my opinion, and I do genuinely think that all opinions are valid. (Sorry if I made some typos as English is not my first language)

[@esztergal3141]

I feel like this is the point. It feels a bit fast, but I feel like it's the most fitting even tho I don't understand why it had to be with Seyka, she's only known her for a very brief amount of time. I have felt the way Aloy feels, feeling like attraction is a burden and is only making things harder in life, and letting go of that mentality is very freeing, unexplainable.

I disagree. Ellie being gay isn't that big a part of her, and the love ending here isn't even a big deal. Aloy leaves her anyway. She still puts Seyka in second place.

[@highrepublic2056]

Being gay/not straight doesn't have to be anymore character defining than being straight does. Aloy after all wouldn't put any special significance upon it because her world has so far been depicted as not homophobic. Ellie to some extent still lives in a world with our modern prejudice, so it's more influential in the way she approaches life. The important part here, is not her sexuality, but her opening up to somebody even in a romantic way. To some extent all the options allow for Aloy to acknowledge her growth in this area, one is merely more growth than the others. HFW was ultimately, and patently about Aloy opening herself up to relationships-a rejection of Elisabet who closed herself off to true relationships with anybody. At the start of the game she runs away from her friends and rejects their attempts to help her. By the end, she let's them help her on missions and accepts Beta as family.

[@xsamtuga7134]

@@highrepublic2056 I do agree with you. I'm not saying a gay character is a better or a more profound character than a straight one. I only think it's a bit rushed this love option.

I hate how every strong female character has to be lesbian these days. It sucks so bad.

Uuuumm, why did they fell "in love" exactly?

[@Excalibur01]

Because this is a western made game.

[@Excalibur01]

This game lost to Elden Ring so they are now trying to appeal to the woke crowd thinking it'll make them more money.

@@Excalibur01 Get woke, go broke! didn't they get the memo? They are late to the party. That shits on the way out!

So every option give us a trophy or only love option unlock trophy?

[@ants376]

Aloy deserves love! Allow her to express her love with Another badass huntress and make a power couple you know it'll be cannon in the sequel! It's the only way! Test tube babies deserve love too!!

I played through earlier and honestly said yes. I don't know if this will be a one off character for the dlc or not but we'll see. She's interesting imo.
