Little correction: You said millions died from the kharaa bacteria, and while that is correct, a PDA says that over 143 billion(!) people died just in the early stages of the virus. "Millions" is just a silent wet fart compared to the actual scales of mortality. Great video though! :D

Can you make a video about the old leviathans like gargantuan leviathan. I think that they might still be alive in other parts of the planet since we have only discovered a shallow volcanic crater so far and the rest of the planet definitely has extremely deep oceans which should provide ample space for large leviathan class creatures to exist.

[@TheLastBacon]

Yep :) it's probably the next one on my list!

And it is way deeper considering the lowest the crater reaches is around 1300 meters deep/active and inactive lava zone

The precursors couldn’t have heard the sea emperor because the telepathic communication is on a different wave length. If you have a radio, you can’t put on two frequencies at the same time. Precursors are also about 8 feet tall, looking at the doorways and the heights of the tables.

There is a evidence of conversation between precursors and the emperor.. "The others built a passage to reach the world outside. I asked them for this freedom,but they could not hear me."

[@DADDA]

Nice video as always. Not many games have lore as interesting as Subnautica but I don't think we got enough of it. Hopefully Below Zero will expand on it because after finishing the game, although it was one of the best experiences I've ever played through, I feel like the game still had a lot more potential.

[@TheLastBacon]

Thank you very much :) I do indeed like the lore of Subnautica, maybe partially due to how a lot of it's hidden and somewhat mysterious....

[@kevinfortin8240]

Look i know you praised the game and said it's good and all but are you kidding me ? We didn't get enough of it ? This game is way beyond anything people can make these days, these days some games don't even have good lore or have lore at all. They only have plotholes that just contradicts each other or just doesn't work well when you start to really process it. How much more can this game give ?

[@DADDA]

I agree, this game stands out when compared to most titles that come out nowadays. And it's an indie game so that makes it even more impressive. But I can't help and compare the lore to a game that has mastered this aspect, Dark souls. Whenever I revisit an area in a Souls game, I always feel like I haven't quite explored it to 100%. This way all the areas keep their charm, even though I've been through there dozens of times, it's still mysterious, eerie and hostile, there is always some detail I've missed all the last times I've been there and it always adds something to the area. On the other hand after finishing Subnautica just once, I already know what to expect, I know which mobs spawn at which areas, I've already found all the secrets and I know all the lore just by paying attention. I've been mildly disappointed every time I clicked on a lore video about Subnautica. I used to watch Dark souls lore videos and there was always so many things in them I haven't noticed in my playthrough, things like items, quests, dialogues, details in the environment, hints hidden in plain sight or even entire huge areas I just missed. But when I watch a video about Subnautica's lore, I realize, I already knew everything from just one single playthrough and the areas just don't feel as atmospheric as they once did. Still a great, one of a kind game, I will replay it some day after I forget most of what I know about it now so I can get some of the first time playthrough charm back, also probably on hardcore, to get back the suspense and fear the game was once able to trigger in me.

[@kevinfortin8240]

@@DADDA I kinda think dark souls is not a game you should compare to subnautica at all really. They have nothing in common in terms of directions that they choose. I understand what you're saying and what your point is but it's really not comparable. It was a different story for me tho, every new playthrough i watched and new page site i opened i found out new stuff that i didn't even realize or knew before. I guess what i'm saying is everyone has a different experience and Subnautica is a game that shows that in a way that everybody can enjoy in thwir own way. Besides, it's like you said, for an indie game made by a small group of devs that only have made 2 games under their belt (which one of them is actually a mod) it's pretty impressive for a gamethat only costing $25 at best and one some sites FOR FREE whivh such high quality and quantity.

[@spirameowmeow]

Interesting. The mention of "slug" reminded me of the thrasian dudes from the elder scrolls. Can you do a lore video about alterra ? We never learn too much about them in subnautica

I have a question when the sunbeam was in orbit why wasn’t the gun shooting since the degassi and aurora was near orbit when they got shot ? And why would the gun shoot at that spot cause the sunbeam was already close and when they got shot there is a 90% chance that the debris would hit the gun and a 10% chance that it would not

[@TheLastBacon]

While I'd love to give you a good lore-related explanation, honestly - I just think they did it so the player can see Sunbeam getting shot and get the cinematic effect of it :)

i think because the sunbeam was a smaller ship than the degasi and aurora you know this because the aurora crashed and didn't fully explode like the sunbeam and probably degasi did

My theory precursors where technopaths but not telepaths... they could communicate with their computers according to the data bank, they fused themselves, their building and other living things with organic AND mechanical materials that can communicate from afar kinda like radio(remember the warper messages) that's why the sea emperor could not get them to understand her because they were part machine...

You could be totally right :) especially since we don't know the full extent of the emperor's abilities.

Shame the devs didn't make precursor and human skeletal remains or corpses.

And Bart's skeletal remains laying against the wall near where his last voice mail was at. Maybe even Paul's in a cave near the final base with a crabsquid in it as its presumed a crabsquid got him. It imo would have made the game a bit darker and thus create a bit scarier athmosphere than it already may have in some areas to be actually able to see people that have died.

[@TheLastBacon]

I think for the remains, it was mostly because of their desired age-rating :) for the precursors, we have to wait till below zero!

[@kokoskygamer9931]

I have a theory, what if the precursors modeled the warpers after themselves! Its just like how in sci-fi movies they always model their robots after humans. it would also explain the lack of stairs because walking on land with tentacles is possible but stairs would be difficult to traverse w tentacles.

[@TheLastBacon]

Could be the case I suppose :) I think Below Zero will tell us more!

[@Ace_Star_543]

Well I think we can infer they are about the size as a PRAWN suit as a PRAWN can fit through all the doors that the precursors made

[@TheLastBacon]

Yeah that's a solid conclusion to make :)

@@TheLastBacon also now that I think about the moon pool for the enforcement platform can fit a cyclops so perhaps precursor submersible vehicles is just a regular size for them

Couldn't you technically make a version 2 of this including Below Zero when it is fully released? I googled a bit and found below zero pics of them apparently. if I am wrong just say so and not spoil preferably :)

Yep :) I’ll definitely update this when Below Zero is finished!

Man, I shouldn't have swam that far away from the lifepod. I really regret going into the Quarantine Enforcement Platform before I repaired the Aurora. I'm thankful I haven't encountered a Warper yet, but I'm scared to go to the Blood Kelp Zone in the Grassy Plateau.

[@TheLastBacon]

Well it can definitely be scary to leave the comfort of safe shallows :)

[@G1adit]

Oh no warper is gonna spawn spooky blighter

[@TheLastBacon]

Those are among the least dangerous things they can spawn :D

[@phenics]

I think it would be safe to assume that they were amphibious creatures because all of the structures are built the same way, in and out of water.

[@TheLastBacon]

I suppose that's a fair assumption :)

i know this was posted before below zero but now the most you can get from the precursors is from the precursor AL-an which you build a precursor body but i think its a older version of the precursor i think because if im correct they often changed form but im not sure about that last part

True :) I'll definitely have to update this after Below Zero comes out!

Now that Alan the alien took a physical form in below-zero... Is that what the precursors looked like?

[@TheLastBacon]

Hard to say to be honest :) it seems like they could basically have any body they desired since it's all bio-mechanical.

i like how khara was so deadly it killed off an entire species, and then rileys just like "oh, alright then." and continues whatever hes doing like nothing happened

[@Cyberelf85]

I am super curious about how the Precursors were able to capture and transport the Sea Emperor through the Lava Zone to the Primary Containment Facility... did they build the facility first? Or did they build it around her? And if they did build it first, how did they get her inside? 😮

[@TheLastBacon]

Yeah I wonder too - seems quite tricky - maybe they put her to sleep and dragged her in, closing it behind them :)
