Horizon Forbidden West - Hoover Damn is actually connected to Burning Shores

just some exploration

[@Castromany7656]

Ngl it would've been pretty cool if they included that instead of just flying over to the burning shores

[@cadendewet9935]

That would have been hard since the burning shores dlc has new cloud technology so flying there will create a awkward transition with the clouds

[@cdraun1880]

@@cadendewet9935 To be sure, I think every Horizon-loving gamer would rather have the path traversable the whole way-populated with machine sites-than have new cloud technology, given the choice between the two.

[@cadendewet9935]

@@cdraun1880 probably yes but the game is heavily driven by art the artist likely wanted it like especially since the first cinematic lets Aloy fly through the clouds but yes players would probably prefer it like that the artist just wanted to fulfill there vision 🤸‍♂️

[@gulli72]

Would've been damn funny if that was the legit way to enter the Burning Shores and Beta was guiding you step by step. "Okay, Aloy. First you have to bug out of the map. There should be an invisible brush above you." "Yeah, I think I can reach that."

The Riptide chilling in the hoover dam watching Alloy: "🤯"

At least Lake Mead has water in it again, the reality is far more grim. 😄

PC community is amazing 😂

[@senseweaver01]

Why is there stuff to pick up beyond the dam? Did they just have a brush tool that added long grass and resources at the same time or something?

[@Dimitrije_Miljus]

Their environment system randomly generates elements based on the environment parameters that are set in the engine (like plants around rivers/water for example). I'm guessing the same goes for loot/pick-ups around the map only specific areas being built up by hand

@@Dimitrije_Miljus Oh neat! Thanks for the info

[@peterszabo6636]

There are an castle ruin north from Hollowrock. It is out of the play area. Can you explore it?

[@akuu131]

The Q is : can we see something like that in Forbidden West without Burning Shores in it ? and ofc is connected Cuz Burning Shores in the game .

[@ashkenov266]

yes, there are discussions and posts in horizon subreddit showing that they can see the burning shores' map even before its release, the map was prolly layed out there but without content yet similar to hzd where the dlc area was already there but blocked not until its release

[@Toulkun]

I believe we might see these parts on 3rd Horizon.
