  • @murphyslaw159

    I'm still a big supporter of taking Bloodfeeder as the last meme.
    We've had bloodfeeders in the colony since the start, the leader is a bloodfeeder, and how much more transhuman can you get than an archotech infusion that rewrites your very genes to be the predator in the food chain above humans?

    • @Direblade11
      @Direblade11 16 дней назад +9

      For similar reasons I'd argue inhuman* the colony has slowly been embracing the void and its eldritch powers, growing away from empathy into a more cold, efficient view.
      All I'm saying is either inhuman* or bloodfeeder seems better than high life. Not that I hate high life, but these are just much more fitting
      * I wrote the wrong word

      How about becoming adherents of the literal archotech machine god responsible for the anomalies in the first place? That is to say, the Inhuman meme. To that end, I'd recommend trying to get all of the flesh mods from the Twisted Obelisk for roleplay purposes if nothing else.

    An Inhuman band at war with the Empire, would make a great topic for the next series!
    Saving those ideas for then would make sense, so this series could have a completion with the Archeonexus ending, allowing the Ritualist ending to be saved for the next series too.

    • @tomisabum

  • @Salt_Mage
    @Salt_Mage 16 дней назад +66

    Light lived in darkness, was then plunged into further darkness by the void, then even deeper by his own neuroquake, and awakened to knowledge of his wife’s death.
    I think anyone would be shaken by that series of events, and leaving Elpis to discover the final secrets of psionics on his own is rather fitting. Light guided him this far, it’s on him to take the final steps.

    • @nathanhaigh3466
      @nathanhaigh3466 15 дней назад

      Honestly a spin-off season of Light either as a sole mechanitor or Cambiar type and either becoming a peaceful ascetic monk or an ever darker recluse would be awesome. It could even be his journey to heal and find love again. So many cool stories that could come out of that.

  • @sunshine5429
    @sunshine5429 16 дней назад +22

    I cannot believe, by chance, Light decides to just leave. Just leave! You summed up his thread in this story perfectly, and it's perfect for his participation to end this way. Nothing else would have been as satisfying

  • @WmJared
    @WmJared 16 дней назад +4

  • @timothybartlett5493
    @timothybartlett5493 16 дней назад +22

    What a way for Light to go out - absolutely beautiful arc.
    As for meme options, I like the idea of Bloodfeeding. We've got multiple sanguophages/viskilaers within the colony, so I think it makes sense for us to lean into the idea of individuals who shed the weaknesses of life and flesh for enhanced abilities. Plus, raiding/skip abductions have a pretty important purpose in acquiring hemogen.

  • @piratavorak
    @piratavorak 16 дней назад +4

    My theory is that light wanted to overthrow the colony and took Elpis away to make him his apprentice, he wanted the power that colony have to himself, but for that he needed to take away their leader, so he told everyone he was going to teach him and return to help them later, but in reality he wanted to turn Elpis to his side showing him the true power while he used his powers to talk with his new tribe; his first attack failed while he pretended to not know about that, but the final attack he was hopping they would win, but his wife died with the group and that made him question if what he was doing was worth it and gave up on his beliefs, leaving Elpis and gone to try to reform his life. Now it's up to Elpis what to do with his newfound powers and how to use it against the world.

    Rimworld is such an amazing story generator! Just when you don't know what to do with Light he just up and leaves by himself! What a twist! And how fitting it is. He showed Elpis the way, but the final stretch of it is only for him alone to make.

    That moment with the Sphere getting sent out and wiping most of the tribe in one attack was really cool, it going full 'bloodlust' and attacking its masters right afterwards is almost like an unscripted story event happening.
    Considering their work for the group and even turning the dead into ghouls, Collectivist sounds like something they'd follow.

  • @alexmccutcheon10

    Highlife makes sense as a transhumanist faction that believes in physical and psychological (psycasting) enhancement. Pumping your body full of chemical enhancements seams like a natural progression

    • @Direblade11
      @Direblade11 16 дней назад +1

      But also, they've embraced an already inhuman void more and more throughout the series. The young leader has just been abandoned by his mentor out of, what? The weakness of caring for your love?
      This would never have hurt Elpis if he was a transhumanist. Humanity is weakness.

    Just gotta say that the part of Light in this campaign has been amazing, accidental novel/movie-level writing by Randy and Pete. He randomly comes in, becomes a magical master mentor with a dark twist for Elpis, the knowledge he imparts upon him ends up tested most intensely and dramatically with extreme dangers of the anomaly, and once it Elpis is all but fully fledged, Light moves on to let him finish the journey, like a darker drifter version of Obi-Wan. Guy feels like the good kind of anime characters by now, and what an awesome contribution to the plot without needing to "change" Light much in terms of who he'd been before and who he has become on his own journey. And he even gets to live on and drift along, like the badass that he is.

    I would 100 go for blood feed, You transcended humanity, achieve machine and genetic peak, feeding in lowly human is the natural progress, To reach a new peak above humanity it's to feed into the lower steps of the food chain. That or darkness since I also see the Inhumane as kind boring, go with bloodfeed

  • @davysmith1934
    @davysmith1934 16 дней назад

    High life or bloodfeeding seems like the best pick- though I think having a nice pint of beer and ambrosia leans a little more into the Paragons of Pandroth being kinder than most factions.

  • @avereth
    @avereth 14 дней назад

    Considering the entire ground was covered in a sea of the bodies of eldritch horrors and blood, being abducted and pressured into training some young upstart whippersnapper, bouts of going crazy in the darkness while the food in the same room rots, being saved only after performing a last ditch neuroquake, and finally his wife from the faction of tribal Neanderthals he was probably lording over dying...
    Light just deciding to leave and get away from these Paragon people makes sense. Leaving right after a completely inappropriate party and having the rescue team leave again while the potential young competitor meditates at his precious tree distracted from his departure seems like the only possible outcome.
    He needed to get out before Elpis reached that 6th level and the prospect of having to go back among these tech loving zealots who seem to have no problem turning their prisoners over to slavery or worse is a risk he is not willing to take given he plans to live for a very long time with his power. I like to think he somehow overheard that the captured sanguimancer was turned ghoul after organ harvesting and really finalized the decision to get out and just start over again.
    As to the next meme, high life just doesn't feel it. While drug use would seem permissible to them, mandating it doesn't make sense given they're going to have different views about the best ways to enhance humanity and some probably don't see the downsides as worth it....but please do pass that psychite tea and chocolate happy bars.

  • @STRIDER_503

    I was going to suggest the (re?)integration of Light into the colony, especially after his multiple heroic defenses of Elpis the leader, I thought he would be pushing for it. But I guess that idea went straight out the window.
    I got a laugh at the sightstealer ambushing Maniac. If Rhinos and Elephants never killed him when he was way less powerful, that dude didn't stand a chance

    For the next ideology reform, i was thinking Guilty. Purely from a narrative standpoint as im not sure what gameplay impacts it may have.
    But maybe the paragons of pandroth are starting to grow weary of their raiding and wanton violence as they near their goal and start to reflect and repent. Maybe a slight move back in the direction they started as the believers of boyo, especially considering lights arrival and the nature of his departure.

    I am not in favour of highlife because the idea of taking recreational drugs and clouding the mind (the greatest part of a human) would be detrimental to strengthening the colony. Mostly not in favour of recreational drugs.
    I think something like blood feeding or any of the low impact memes (except guilty) would make sense and be a fitting closer. Thought with how you make everyone join the ideology, proselytizer wouldn't be that bad (I think its a low impact not medium in my opinion).
    And to go against blood feeding, I think that having a xenotype be praised above the others would go against the more common "ever person is good, every person is special" but I don't know if that is an angle you are trying to go for pete.

    I'm still a big supporter of taking Bloodfeeder as the last meme.
    We've had bloodfeeders in the colony since the start, the leader is a bloodfeeder, and how much more transhuman can you get than an archotech infusion that rewrites your very genes to be the predator in the food chain above humans?
