Warning, incoming rant. Spoiler tags not working

Itss regarding the

now sentient subordinate functions, and more importantly, how Aloy treated them.

In Zero Dawn

spoiler

Demitri, the one incharge of plant life, scattered metal flowers about in the first game, with bits of poetry his creator loved. He also had flowers growing around Elizabeth Sobeck's body in the ending cutscene.

Then theres CYAN and her whole saga in Frozen Wilds. Aloy really seemed to get along with her.

And yet, in the first half of Forbidden Quest

spoiler

Aloy has no qualms about killing the subfunctiond and restoring them to base code for the new Gaia.

Minerva was damn scared, hiding in the Base the whole time, all the while sending an encrypted signal saying 'Here I am'.

Aether (weather control) didnt do anything wrong at all, just kept trying to do his duty, even as the errors kept mounting and the storms increasing.

Thats as far as I managed to get before shutting the game down. Will prob uninstall too. Even if the game has well established that Aloy is getting desperate to restore

GAIA

, this seems way out of character.

Thank you!

Can you name the primary needs mod please?

I tried the game at my friends place day 1; the main put offs were bugs and lack of immersion.

Aye, as @forensic_potato said. And they have really good free options too, that are actually improved upon feature wise (only usage is limited)

Gonna pay once I can actually afford it.

Ive had a look at the supposed Day 1 DLC. Its mainly cosmetics and crossover items from Divinity Original Sin 2.

From the steam page: "All as awesome as they are wholly unnecessary."

True, but it got people (eg me) started on actually looking for alternatives.

Not being very tech savvy, the reddit summaries post backout helped alot too.
