The lore behind the etemeninki is just so interesting, it was truly a planatary ship with the sole purpose of saving as many people as possible, by any means necessary. It was monolithic in size and truly a behemoth that ate lives in exchange for saving the many. The world poured its efforts into one final gamble, a testament to the limitless potential for both greatness and crulty. To see what became of it, something so monstrously large and complex with the effort of all the worlds people and nations brought low just sets a mood that cannot be described in words.
Cool, I really loved the premise of IXION, but have no time nor money to actually played this game, and you make this video, loved it and thanks a lot ❤
Great summary! One note about the Romulus ending: Instead of using the Protagoras PA to guide the Tiqqun (in the instance that you didn't download a copy of it), the Administrator can stay behind. The ending cinematic differs just slightly; instead of the PA you see the Administrator's control pod, with the game UI barely visible through the glass.
UN left in the etremenaki, MS became the piranesii. Romulus and Remus are the only 2 viable planets for habitation. so no, neither of them survived by the end of the story.
@@Ydrakar The Etemenanki was a huge massive ark, had about billions so yea most of earth population that survived the lunaclysm were aboard it and when the piranesii found them, they were most of them exterminated
I was kinda hoping this would summarize the story of some of the weird science missions with the gravitational cores within asteroids that functioned like portals into parallel dimensions where the Ticqun and its crew also existed... There's a lot of depth and convolution to that stuff. sometimes crew came back with different identities, or long lost crew members were found again during a later chapter. so much to unpack that I didn't have time to figure out myself... also going indepth into what the Vohle jump really does would be welcome... some speculate it splits the world off into multiple parallel dimensions every time it activates, or creates a new cataclysm on the scale of moon's destruction.
I was interested in explaining the spheres and other science missions, but I was just too confused, I sort of "understand" but I couldn't wrap my head around it, so I just stuck to the main story
@LCTesla yes, that woulda been soo cool. And actually what I had originally come for. The author did put out more than anything I have seen yet and it's 2024, so kudos to them.
great video thanks. i tried to play it myself but the tedious of the hull repairs was too much for me after having to start over once and second playthrough later just seemed more time spend fixing things.
and like the aftermath of what happened next like right before the tiqqun crashed into the piranesi it launched a drone swarm at either remus or romulus (we all know drone swarms are permanent) and we either make the planet movable or so and turn it into our own space station to stop humanity's extinction again
@nordic_estonia k. I'm at work and had planned on listening to this, but...no narration and you have one of the only "storyline explained" videos about Ixion. You could use a.i to narrate, in you own voice or similar...but I do hate a.i. narrations becuase everyone uses the same stock nasally voice, and it always mispronounces everything!
its the second the tiqqun fires the vohle engines, it blasted a chunk of the moon and brought it into the future, it makes sense somethink powerful enough to travel between stars/time is bound to be able to leave a dent if directed at a planet
It's a flaw in the first version of the engine and the reason why you need to upgrade to the IXION engine. But it's a flaw, they knew about and did nothing to stop.
@@catwhowalksbyhimself yeah because vanir confessed to being an eco terrorist who saw humans as a plague, that what happened was always going to happen he just sped it up
your boss was mind controlled by evil elves to kill the earth, gave you a traitor AI and ensured you went last to gobble up any survivors for the the elves to turn into trees. (he went back first to turn himself into a tree as humans are bad)
Did they jump to proxima centauri then head back to earth only to find it destryoed? the intro looks like they jumped to the proxima then reached the same but destryoed earth there so i thought it is a prallel universe at first
they attempted to reach proxima centauri but instead of sending the forwars, the vohle engine sent them into the future , the warp field destroyed the moon as they jumped so in the future the earth was destroyed
@@zjuraeventide8949 so don't jump, duh. 😂 If serious, it didn't created any catastrophe when Protagoras jumped from earth, nor any other ship/station left behind any traces. It was a malfunction in first engine. (Deliberate malfunction, as "Vanir knew everything")
@@worldspam5682 It's a multiverse. There are multiple versions of the Tiqqun and other ships with the VHOLE engine, which would create the lunaclysm anyway.

The most sci-fi part of the entire game is the UN actually doing something to save our civilization.

For some reason that jump music reminds me of WH40k Mechanicus
it's because the creator is the same

the gameplay is pretty tedious tbh
I hâte Vanier dolos, he doomed everyone in pursuit of his only vision of a future
You forgot to mention the dogy the most important reason not to go to the eco planet 😊
or the fact if you wish to learn futher about each ruin the crew you send is killed who seems very sus
I played this game countless times, The story is so good it could become a sci-fi film similar to Interstellar

“Aw man how are we gonna fight the etemeninki!”
*Sees the Etemeninki*
“OH. THAT’S WORSE.”
No, no. more like: *sees the clearly destroyed super structure **_SCIENCE SHIP_** etemeninki*
"Nvm, this got even worse"
One part that bugged me about the game is that its never confirmed if the UN and or BMS survived in any capacity
UN left in the etremenaki, MS became the piranesii. Romulus and Remus are the only 2 viable planets for habitation.
so no, neither of them survived by the end of the story.
That's the point of the story that everyone else are dead and you are the last hope.
F u, green guys 😂
@@lordilluminati5836 some of the Etemenanki’s crew can be rescued by the Tiqqun, but its a infinitesimally small quantity compared to those who died.
@@Ydrakar The Etemenanki was a huge massive ark, had about billions so yea most of earth population that survived the lunaclysm were aboard it and when the piranesii found them, they were most of them exterminated
@@LordMalgusPrometheus when you’re reduced to thousands, every individual is critical for the health of the species.
yo man thanks for making this
No problem, I wanted to share the story for those who weren't able to finish or afford the game
:)
Yeah screw the Remus Tree Hugger ending. Humanity shall ever remain Human. Glory to Mankind may the stars bow in reverence to their rightful masters.

It's brain damage. It was discussed as a possibility from the start, but it was completely ignored.
great video thanks. i tried to play it myself but the tedious of the hull repairs was too much for me after having to start over once and second playthrough later just seemed more time spend fixing things.
ending a is like 80% of your people fail to adapt and become 'waste' lmao. or you melt many ppl into one space elf.
I think the game updated from that, cus my population stayed the same while waste was also created, it's either an update or there was a visual bug
Only if the game had a sequel.
and like the aftermath of what happened next like right before the tiqqun crashed into the piranesi it launched a drone swarm at either remus or romulus (we all know drone swarms are permanent) and we either make the planet movable or so and turn it into our own space station to stop humanity's extinction again
I'm expecting a DLC or something
@@DaUziel one where we play as a UN administrator of the Etemeninki would be cool

I know but that's what it says in the game. I guess there's something keeping it up, the question is what ?
@@nordic_estoniabuilding the colony on Romulus has you make life support systems, and it mentions oxygen. The colony is probably pressurized
Awesome video, but wait...what was that whole thing about finding a broken off piece of the Tiqqun even though the Tiqqun was still in 1 piece?
the game is about multiverse travel, thats what youre doing when jumping.
so yeah, that was actually a piece of the tiqqun.
I wish this was narrated.........
Still debating whether to use my voice in future videos or not.

@@jrr7031 I could use AI, but the general census is that everyone hates the AI narration, and frankly, it irritates me too
@@nordic_estonia you should narrate it without ai, ai voice is irritating
I don't understand. Does the dolos can somehow see the future or something? why the moon must go boom? by who?
self sabotage, it was your boss all along.
its the second the tiqqun fires the vohle engines, it blasted a chunk of the moon and brought it into the future, it makes sense somethink powerful enough to travel between stars/time is bound to be able to leave a dent if directed at a planet

That really could have been jump into another reality, but in the future. So you ended up with probability of having two destroyed earths 😂
The Lunaclysm was inevitable, as revealed by the crew of the Protagoras. Any VHOLE jump from anywhere creates cataclysmic disasters.
@@zjuraeventide8949 so don't jump, duh. 😂
If serious, it didn't created any catastrophe when Protagoras jumped from earth, nor any other ship/station left behind any traces.
It was a malfunction in first engine. (Deliberate malfunction, as "Vanir knew everything")

The Story is great but the ending is not epic. It looked like they ran out of money.
