Every Bob Tall Tale Cutscene in Ark Survival Ascended Supercut!

[@nathanstaron781]

The lore of ARK is one of my favorites in all video game story

[@turtlegamer2558]

Same man

[@OVER-RANNUS]

Agreed, though his tall tales aren’t canon. Just Meeka’s and Bob’s conversations about his tales.

@@OVER-RANNUS yes I know !

[@porcupinestudios414]

@@OVER-RANNUS duh it’s why it’s called tall tales!!!.

[@OVER-RANNUS]

@@porcupinestudios414 You would think everyone would know that. But I have had arguments over whether or not they are more canon than they seem.

Love bob so much. I hope we get human companions in Ark 2 and I hope he’s one of them. Seeing him banter with Santiago would be awesome and he could totally push him to be a better dad.

[@huongnguyen-ft9qf]

I am pretty sure that bob clone is ultimate survivor The reason why he is on genesis because he have defeated all Boss in story ark map So he have been recalled on genesis to defeat Rockwell again Sorry I'm not good at English

[@moviemaker199]

That was my reaction when I first saw that. If I wasn’t at work, which was when I did see it, I would’ve literally said it louder.

[@mgrids455]

I love the in-joke about Kiwi accents

[@OVER-RANNUS]

Putting my bet on that Meeka isn’t Diana’s/Santiago’s child. I’m putting my chips on Rockwell’s child.

[@lordmalzone7070]

How? I got too curious reading this

[@OVER-RANNUS]

@ Rockwell has a child in The Ark Animated Series that we know of with Rockwell saying her name in the sneak peek at the end of the last episode. We also know that she WAS supposed to be canon in ASE with audio clips deleted of Rockwell calling out the same name in Genesis Part II which was found in the game files. I am betting that Santiago found out who she was as a young child and took her on as his own child.

[@lordmalzone7070]

@OVER-RANNUS Makes sense since she probably was on the genesis colony ship

[@moviemaker199]

If that’s the case, then that’s probably why Santiago deactivated tek in the announcement trailer, and implied to be doing in the Extinction prologue cutscene. To keep history from repeating itself, especially with someone who’s directly related to Ark’s most dangerous man he faced in Aberration. I also wonder if naturally born children on the arks or from the passengers in the cryo chambers of the Genesis ship still get implants on their arms somehow. Meeka has one herself, and if she was already “spawned” on the ship, and naturally born kids don’t get them, this theory would seem more plausible.

[@OVER-RANNUS]

@@moviemaker199 Exactly!!!! And I’ve always wondered that. I would presume no because it isn’t organic material, but Element doesn’t always follow these rules. So who knows. But I would say no.

[@carolynchurch4642]

Fuck... We got a Rockwell jr in the making.

[@barzap6190]

That ain’t good

[@moviemaker199]

@@carolynchurch4642 That’s what I fear too for her. Hopefully Meeka won’t go that route in Ark 2. If she does, we and the heroes in that game just have to stop and reason with her before it’s too late.

[@OVER-RANNUS]

What if she isn’t Diana’s/Santiago’s daughter, but Rockwell’s?

[@coachlombardi9657]

​@@moviemaker199If we fail, then I hope we can stop her without ending her.

[@sunshinecarnivores1919]

That's a scary thought!

[@popclamp3508]

So Bob was originally from somewhere around 1945. Before Helena’s time, but relatively close

[@elJugadorPromedio]

I just hope they dont retcon the original history and this is an apart thing the ark history with the story note is as perfect as it is now

[@N1geljij_the_cat_fox]

Wow is awesome!

[@calebmangelson9776]

I think meeki is just latching on to the story and is convinced that Diana is her mom

[@Chillout18-s9h]

​​@@calebmangelson9776I mean a child would know who their mother is no?

[@calebmangelson9776]

@@Chillout18-s9h a mom can die before the child was formed any memories, I am just theory crafting to figure out how this works with the original story

[@wolfyframe]

Wait so mei yin was not in love with diana? I thougth the loved each other in aberration what changed?

[@garganrose]

Probably nothing. Remember, this is a story being told by Bob so he’s probably not being 100% truthful.

[@Myne1001]

Either one of two events is going to happen: A) Retconning Diana + Mei Yin so the Helena x Mei Yin ship takes the main focus of the ARK franchise (namely the Animated Series) OR B) Its not a retcon as there's no confirmation there are Mei Yin or Helena clones on Arat so maybe Diana hooked up with Sanitago instead. Or they just had a child to "do their part" or something. Honestly, its 50/50. I suspected after the first Animated series came out they'd try to retcon the games ever so slightly to fit in the new canon.

[@Chillout18-s9h]

​​@@garganroseThat's cool and all but one problem. Bob was the one suprised and it was Meeka who said it so it's not a part of his Tall tale but something absolutely canon. Infact most of the tall tales are actually true aside from Bob being with the original crew and some minor changes. And since Meeka was suprised Santiago and Diana knew eachother before. So i am guessing something happened during the Lost Colony DLC and they got together then ,but will have to see i guess. Remember there are clones.

[@moviemaker199]

⁠@@Myne1001I’m fairly sure it’s not a retcon, because both the game and animated series storylines are meant to be separate from each other, and if I’m not wrong on this, they did confirm that in interview articles about The Animated Series. Doesn’t mean there probably won’t be any references or expansions in based on it, one way or another. It’s also worth noting that both Mei-Yin’s and Diana’s (the one respawned in Extinction) fates are unknown after Extinction. Because of that above, maybe they both died but only Diana happened to respawn on the Genesis ship, just like Santiago did twice. Or maybe only Mei-Yin died but Diana survived and made it onto the Genesis ship in the same way as we and Rockwell would eventually, then was kept in stasis until everyone has reached the new alien world. Either way, perhaps Diana’s sexuality is bisexual and not straight up lesbian the whole time as we previously thought, or maybe she was just “doing her part” as you said.

[@OVER-RANNUS]

@@Chillout18-s9h The conversations between Meeka and Bob are canon to the story of Ark and Ark 2. The stories he tells are not, they’re “tall tales”. The Ark equivalent of Star Wars Legends to Canon. It’s why we’re getting another Bob DLC called True Tales.

So they made a Jager to kill King Kiajue.
