1:22 theres a canor that isnt allowed to get into etris + theres a summer isle npc that talks about how adrets are "different" and pretty sure that summer isle guards used to call players with felinor race and neutral rep thiefs + making guards attack certain races would be kinda pay 2 win

[@RinguserJohn]

There's actually a lot more racism in deepwoken than you realize, when deepwoken felinor's were shown people hated them so much that in lore felinors were hated by every race yet, they made most of the machines and weapons inside the game including the arc suit, mecha megalodaunt, MANY of the guns etc, also about that felinor being a arsonist, yeah uh felinors were always canonically the strongest and most hated race also the hive literally can manipulate life that includes trees so like fireproof trees seem the most reasonable thing tbh also voidwalkers dream state, is FOR the voidwalkers themselves it's THEIR dream and what they see/represent it as and since voidwalkers are hollow on the inside that's why it's black and white in the voidheart as it's the heart of the void your void, you are hollow as a void.

There is heavy lore importance to purple attunements. As purple symbolizes complete mastery which is impossible for any normal being. The red ice was not just to add a color, it was to give some added uniqueness to crystalization and help players distinguish it. It can be taken as you're cystalizing your or your enemies blood or you're infusing it with iron content in the ground around you

[@Reaconteur]

[@ashboy1]

bells and murmurs aren't chants of the song while the dreadstar only opposes these chants(mantras), so that's why you can get bells and murmurs as silentheart.

[@akachirotamasuke7364]

Deepwoken should have a talent that allows you do to a quick light punch with your left hand if you're not using a left armament (like elden ring). Unlike guns, the damage and speed would not scale off of your weapon damage or speed. However, this would occupy the slot of a side arm, so instead of not listing a side arm, the game would list it as "Side Fist" or smth.

[@miko_sama7249]

Nah, the voidwalkers being your violent representation of schizophrenia is crazyy 💀

[@effectsystemdesign]

one thing i dont get "lore wise" is why voidwalkers can get bounties on other voidwalkers, if your faction constantly has their people kill eachother it wouldnt exist would it

Etreans being racist was changed for gameplay reasons (which I'm pretty glad for, would suck considering a major boss fight is stuck behind good rep with this faction), but I really wish they'd work around it instead of removing the racism aspect entirely

[@tugglet595]

@@Reaconteur NO BUT FR I RLY LIKE THE RACISM ASPECT OF ETREANS, ties in really well with their stiff and traditional ways and there were a lot of ways I'm sure they could have worked around the gameplay aspect of their racism. The only real benefit to good rep with Etrea beyond one talent (bodyguard detail) is the manor key. The etrean guards can still be racist by barely tolerating you if you're not an etrean with different dialogue. It wouldn't change gameplay at all 🤓🤓🤓🤑

[@AlexanderJackson-rv8gv]

Why Frostdraw has a pink/red path (crystallization) and why it’s actually realistic: “The algae, Chlamydomonas nivalis, makes the ice pink and darker than normal. The darker ice absorbs more of the sun's heat, rather than reflecting the rays back into the atmosphere, causing the ice to melt faster.”

[@zlaugh8733]

Tbf when a youtuber makes a suggestion video it usually gets added (like how banks got added a week after DanVR suggested them), but I dont feel like ideas from the suggestion channel, or just from regular people ever get implemented Also red ice is I think meant to symbolize crystals (as in the ones in the ground)

Im pretty sure silenthearts can get bells because that‘s outside of the dreadstar‘s power, he replaces your heart with a silent one. Yet your bell is a manifestation of the song of your SOUL, just like a murmur, maybe they could add a silentheart upgrade with more upgrades in return for no murmur and bell, where you silence your very soul?

Erm acktually, silent hearts are dead to the WORDS of the song, not the song itself.

As for other things that don't make sense: wtf is up with Primadon. Genuinely just like wtf. What is the deal with the ritual fire, what created this thing, is it connected to the khan since their ape-humans, why do we know the exact origins of the dread serpent, how to become one and how the materials needed to summon the elder edenkite but there is zero info on the fish monkey with an entire island dedicated to it. Hell why do we know all that but we don't know where the rest of the dread serpents came from.

[@perhaps.........4108]

Silentheart's vow rejects the Words of the Song (Mantra chants). Resonances and Murmurs are not words and thus, are not affected by the Oath.

It would've made more sense if crystal path was transparent or something similar, its called Glass Path after all

[@PowerAids]

one thing that doesn't make sense is how there are only like 5 npcs in the game that went insane, like seriously, if you're telling me alot of stuff makes you insane i expect to see atleast one insane npc in each voidzone that i can talk to, or put a body there or something.

[@k1yoke1]

my point may just be invalid cuz im not a big deepwoken lore guy but for the silentheart take. if your body refuses something, but then something is attached to you impossible to get off and in moments that something is needed and helpful(classic anime story)that seems reasonable. this can maybe be backed up by how manifesting your bell actually works which i dont actually know so lmk
