I love how we find out that AL-AN was in charge of that destroyed architect base with the sea dragon skeleton near it in the first game, and that base was responsible for the release of the bacteria on the planet. I like how they took details that lacked real context and backstory from the first game, and gave them a whole important elaboration.

[@bonelesschickennuggets1868]

I mean, I was perfectly capable of discerning what happened to that base thanks to the data banks and the visual story telling, the Sea Dragon just outside perished after a head trauma and the base which has a sea dragon egg was destroyed by a huge impact. It just clicks you know, I appreciate the nod towards it but it doesn’t add much to it other than AL-AN being the genius that thought messing with Sea Dragon eggs was a good idea.

[@jacksonvoet8312]

@@bonelesschickennuggets1868 I mean, he was technically correct, Sea Dragons are a relative of Sea Emperors, so learning their hatching mechanisms and biology was a good way for them to learn the Sea Emperor hatching method despite being unable to hear the Emperor’s telepathic signal. He just underestimated the sheer tenacity of a Sea Dragon parent, to the point that it would smash its own skull to kill the one who stole its child.

Al-An had a great way with words. "The sorrow of a thousand souls dimming", an excellent way to describe being truly alone.

[@crisscrossam]

and with the way the Architects live and communicate, it truly is like that. he said that all of them are linked in a network, and he's used to their presence, so being used his entire existence to others of his kind and suddenly they're not there anymore after he was stored on 4546B, and especially since the outbreak is his fault, it would be pretty sad. although now that i think about it, if there were others outside the planet when the outbreak happened, and none came back to it, the quarantine procedure should have kept the rest of the Architect race safe from the Kharaa, so the next game (if there is a next game) will be based on meeting and dealing with the aliens, and getting to understand them, and maybe Alterra trying to find and chase you.

[@rohankishibe6433]

@@crisscrossam even better, there are basically no architects left besides a few survivors, or perhaps they left the homeworld, and you spend the game trying to find out where they went, with maybe space travel and other things... fuck it. I'm just gonna make my own fan game when I'm older.

[@xShepZ]

@@crisscrossam The issue with the Kharaa, is that it was already killing billions across the galaxy. They brought it to 4546b to research, so the outbreak is his fault on his planet, but the overall possible destruction of his people isn't. Nothing ever left the planet after they landed due to the Quarantine Enforcement Platform. They all died or uploaded themselves to the Sanctuaries in the first game, but they eventually broke/powered down. He also said he was hiding the phase gate for a Millennia, so that means there's a possibility for the bacteria to ravage his people for a millennia because they never found a cure, or at least, Al-An didn't bring back one.

And maybe, as the scientists that they both are, they find a way to travel and discover new planets together, maybe as Al-An being exiled for his faults and serving them as explorator but happy to do so with Robin.

There was a little bit more, Sam was demoted from Phi Robotics because she didn't want to spy on Marguerit (which explains why she is wary of Robin) and was sent to Outpost Zero, then she finds out Alterra was researching the virus for its own profit, then she set off the explosion that killed her and Parvan in an attempt to stop the sampling of the virus and Alexis is sent there to cover it all up. I like it. The Subnautica series makes a point on saying how bad and greedy Alterra really is which eventually leads to some catastrophe and you're left to tie loose ends.

[@Mar-uc7kk]

I had connected the dots with the explosives mentioned previously (in the PDA where Marguerit and Sam are speaking with one another) but I didn't see how the 'accident' happened because of that, it felt like a loose thread.

Unfortunately the way he played it was heavily based on the early access version. Which means he knew just enough to make him NOT look at things twice. That is why he missed so much, because he thought he had seen it before. That's why it would take so long for him to find certain things like the pepper plants. Where as if you never played it in early access you look at EVERYTHING with the eye to finding all the best usables. There is still a lot of places that he never went to and PDAs he never listened to. I've decided that playing something like this game in early access is a HUGE detriment to when you play the full version. I thought the same thing when he played the original game. That's why I didn't watch any of the playthroughs until AFTER I played the full game. I made a point NOT to play it while it was in early access either. It was super hard to wait but I'm so glad I did!! The full experience of it was amazing!

@@DarcMagikian The Issue is, jack was not feeling well while recording the series. And thus he rushed through it so he could take a break afterwards.

Ready to leave the past behind." she said something along the lines of "Yes, I'm ready; I learned what really happened to her and her legacy of curing the virus will live through me" and something about memories. I wonder if the dialogue was different because of me finding that crucial PDA in the Frozen Leviathan cavern, which Jack failed to do.

[@thxdfgkjsfgkjh]

the one problem i had with this game was the absence of in game events that made subnautica 1 so cool, like the aurora explosion, sunbeam getting shot down and the khara virus spreading to your hands. i think the game would have benefited from stuff like that sprinkled in.

[@Real_Genji]

Agreed. The only in game events are Margarete and AL-AN

[@Not_Ciel]

I think that's part of what Jack was talking about with the gameplay being not as interesting. Subnautica 1 made you feel like your actions had an actual effect on the world outside of the game (the sunbeam coming to rescue you, but blowing up) and there wasn't any of this in Below Zero. Sure, you heard about the cure for the virus from 1, but that wasn't your character.

Jack, you were supposed to get to base zero earlier on. Most people wanted to find all of the bases on the map you got in the beginning. Base zero is the most north one.

I played the game before watching this and I did the exact same thing. I wish they had some kind of system where you go to one base and then get a hint/marker towards another base (like you go to omega base, pick up a pda and get a hud update on where base zero is).

I WAS READING THIS AS IT HAPPENED

[@bluecorvidart]

I'm finally watching the end of this after playing the game myself! I definitely agree that some parts of the story fell flat, but that ending really made it up for me, I think. (Also sorry this is SUPER LONG. I have a lot of SUBNAUTICA FEELINGS.) A big part of why I think Sam's story didn't "work" is just mechanical. Because the game is open, without much direction, there's no way for the devs to really control where you start to look for clues first, so every place where you can find evidence... you just kind of find the same evidence: Alterra found a source of Kharaa, Sam thought it was dangerous, Sam decided to try to sabotage them. In Subnautica (and with Al-An, to a lesser extent), we learn things bit by bit as we slowly go deeper. With Sam, we just keep finding different evidence that points us to the same things. (And some of Robin's lines are... weird. Whenever you discover evidence, she acts like it's the first time she's heard what's happened. In the cave, Robin's like, "Sam wouldn't just blow up a base for no reason!" even though we've seen the reason repeatedly already. The game needed different lines for different parts depending on the evidence you'd discovered.) Subnautica (the first) really came at me at a unique part of my life when I really needed it, something that I'm not sure translates simply to "it was a good game with good writing." When Covid hit and I first found myself quarantined alone at home, I was trying and failing to reach out to friends and keep in touch. I was getting lonelier and lonelier. That was when I stumbled upon Subnautica again. I think I remember that Subnautica was initially conceived as a multiplayer game, and parts of it still really feel like more than one person should be there. There was something about that feeling of being alone in a place that was meant for more people that really hit me. That loneliness, that alone-ness, kind of quietly acknowledged in a way survival games of this sort rarely do. It hit me hard, in a good, cathartic way. For me, Below Zero was the necessary bookend to that. Subnautica is a story about being alone with a problem that you have to fix. Below Zero is a story about trying to solve a problem that _can't_ be fixed -- you can follow up on Sam's work, you can learn about her research, about her colleagues, etc, but you can't bring her back. She's gone. But this time, you're not alone. In Below Zero, there is an SOS from the deep, and Subnautica has trained us by now to know that whoever is calling will be gone when we get there... but he isn't. And we get a message: _"stay off my land,"_ (not calling for help, this time -- pushing you away) and when you follow that message, that person is _alive._ I only really started to connect with the characters in Below Zero very late in the game, when that parallel clicked into place for me. I found myself going back to those original messages from Sam and listening to them again, not as a player trying to figure out the plot of a game, but as a person who had found my connection to others abruptly cut off. In Subnautica, you end the game alone but triumphant, having struggled to survive through a terrible ordeal you were totally unprepared for. In Below Zero, survival on alien worlds is what Robin _does._ It's old hat to her (and us!) The struggle to move on and accept the loss of her sister is more difficult. There is no triumph, only closure. Throughout that journey, Al-An is with her, and then at the end of the game, when he's facing the potential for a similar enormous personal loss, she returns the favor. Anyway, the point of that ramble was just: Subnautica is a story about surviving hardship in spite of being alone, and Below Zero is about surviving hardship by reaching out to others. Not the same, but both very important messages to me when I needed them. One might even say... _they're different, but they go together._

While it’s possible that the Sam subplot is a mystery with poor logistics, I’m now leaning toward the idea that it’s never really a mystery at all - Robin is just in denial, and _that’s_ why she never seems to absorb any evidence.

[@mlgamings6110]

I feel like the Al-An story was the main storyline and it worked well for me. The sister storyline, which was the whole reason why we went to the planet in the first place, was the side line quest. The reason why it doesn't really work is because our first introduction to the motivation of the character is to figure out what happened to her sister. So the mission that we anchor ourselves into for the game is to find our sister. And the way it was handled made it feel like it was just shoved to the side in form of Al-An.

Sam didn’t die in a accident. She purposely destroyed the research facility at the frozen leviathan to stop Alterra from getting the Kharaa bacterium. That’s also why Marguerit destroyed Omega Base. She just ended up dying before she could cure the kharaa in the leviathan.

[@verminscum]

She was killed in an accident. She was setting up explosives to destroy the frozen leviathan site but Parvan accidentaly set them off and she died.

Oh, that makes sense. I was wondering if Alterra had bumped her off.

[@thatpuginasuit797]

Yeah that could be a cool idea BUT, it just doesnt fit with the ocean theme that both of the games are mostly focused on underwater exploration. But still, your idea is really cool, but Unknown Worlds would have to change the name of the game.

@@thatpuginasuit797 Natural Selection, Natural Selection 2, Subnautica, Subnautica: Below Zero... Moving on from one series after a sequel, and tackling a new planet, has already been done by Unknown Worlds. Subnautica is about so much more than just being underwater. The story for 4546B has closed. What more is there to tell? To explore? Nothing if you think about it. So it would be natural to transition into a new series of games, or just do a final game with the characters of S:BZ, regardless of what they choose to call it.

"there's no like build a rocket" while building a giant alien's body

[@jonarhax3388]

Yeah he already got the stuff he needed immediately so there wasn't buildup like the rocket had

[@z-beeblebrox]

In the first one, you built a giant launch pad and - typically - were nowhere close to being ready for the full rocket, plus even if you tried speedrunning you were gated from completing it until you found a cure for the virus. Alien body is just alien body.

[@joshaqy]

It's also a really different feeling since the rocket was 1. Majestically huge 2. Really expensive since you needed the platform + the rocket 3. Was going to take you home, something a lot of us can identify with. 4. Left you teary eyed because you knew the game was ending AL-AN doesn't quite hit those marks as well

[@CiarlaArt]

I completed the Rocket in the first game pretty quick, did others not? I don't feel the construction was all that exciting. It was the end of the game where I had everything needed. You just build a thing and game is done. I do agree on the sense of knowing it was all coming to an end, you were going home, and having the emperor speak hit hard.

[@shannoanagians]

I felt the story was really disconnected. The parts with Marguerite seemed almost pointless and Sam's story had so many holes. I wish there was more dialogue and banter with Al-an as well. I remember in the early version, there was a joke about his name and i'm sad they cut it out.

[@dimosthenisvallis3555]

They did not cut the joke btw. i still got it the first time i got ALAN. maybe it didnt trigger to you because another PDA or something was playing. Like for Jack. when you pick up the photo from the counter, there is some dialog, but for Jack there was playing a PDA so the dialog didnt trigger

[@Nanamowa]

I like how in both games, you form a complicated relationship with a highly advanced alien species that helps you get off the planet. I absolutely loved both games and would love to see if they ever continued the story in some way, potentially moving away from the survival aspect to tell a story, perhaps traveling to different planets and interacting with The Architects. It might be cool even to have you using things like the seamoth and prawn suit in space, since they're designed to be used in space. Maybe there will be quest lines involving like repairing the interplanetary connections of The Architects, or fighting against Alterra. Space aliens(aliens that live in space) are also mentioned in the lore of the first game and would be so cool to interact with. I feel like the engine would work really great in a space themed setting also because you would still have to manage temperature and oxygen.

I agree that Sam should have been kept alive and the story should have been more about getting rid of Alterra. With Sam working for Alterra but being a spy for Robin who is on 4546B without Alterra even knowing. Creating a lot of suspense and risk. But, I think the Alan storyline was perfect. Would’ve been nice to get more from Margerite as well as far as like her teaming with Robin to destroy Alterra.

Alan's story was honestly amazing in this game, but I do agree with Jack that the Sam and Robin story wasn't really that good. I guess I can kinda see why they would go that way, maybe they wanted a reason for Alan and Robin to have sympathy for each other, and the only way to do that was by killing Sam, but idk I guess there's just a different way that story could've been handled. Alan's story was great, and honestly, if this game was only about Alan And Robin, it'd still be a phenomenal game. But the Sam stuff could definitely be polished a bit.

Despite Al-an not being capable of experiencing human emotions, (being half-robot, half-alien), he seemed to have learned from Robin. By the end cutscene, when he said, “With you, I am ready to face whatever awaits.” It felt like he grew emotionally attached to Robin, like best friends!! I cried a little.
