Ivy my beloved...one day your time to shine will come
Ivy is such a beautiful and majestic girl. Ever since that scene with her in the hidden bath springs tucked away in her hideout, I felt captivated by her presence and overall demeanour lol

Let's hope we get more screen time with Ivy and/or maybe some additional quests to flesh out her path as part of 0.17 perhaps?

when the next update/-s are coming? (update cycle)
Well according to the YouTube vid I posted above, it sounds like Oct/Nov is our best bet for the next (0.17) update. Assuming all goes well according to schedule, and there aren't any unintended bottlenecks/hiccups in the development cycle.

I can't personally attest to the accuracy of the claim made in the video though.....but it can provide us with some options to hypothesize/speculate about the release date I guess....

If you see Zaton joining Abrax to destroy zetan civilization (why would him? i can't see a pro for him) that would qualify them as the story's villains.
That will depend on why Abrax wants to destroy Zetan society. I still don´t know the reasons, so he might have information that makes Zetan be the bad guys.

Yeah, as far as I can recall, I am not sure if we were even briefed on the underlying motive as to why Abrax wants to outright destroy Zetan society. We have bits and pieces of his reasoning here and there, but were never truly fed anything conclusive as of yet :unsure:

True. But as far as we can see, if indeed Abrax plans to attack and defeat Zeta, he will do so with an army of dacayed to install a society of decayed, which doesn't seem to be able to prosper for long. And that is why i think he plans something entirely different. I can't see anything good out of that. It could be overthown the static Zetan society to favor the union of the nomads communities around to build something new and with more potential but who would then stop the decayed from swarming all Egipth? As far as we know Zeta still seem the better option.

I believe it isn't. What is, so far, implied is that Abrax knows shit. Which isn't weird because it's consolidated that succesful stalkers accumulate culture and knowledge by recovering documents from the zones.

I believe the endgame is tha Abrax is aware of some menace no one else knows and maybe the decayed know to some extend but don't really care. He seem the type of the gray puppeteer that moves all the faction in the right places at the right time to do the best (less evil) thing for everyone.

He reminds me a lot of Sylens from the Horizon games.

I concur. Definitely, the analogy/persona of Abrax being a grey puppeteer who silently plots and moves chess pieces behind the scenes all under the eyes and noses of others around him is really in line and fitting as per his character.

Abrax's archetype and/or persona in DS gives me vibes in a sense...

I think Abrax plans to destroy the thing as he said "plagues us all". Idk what that may be.
If he destroys Zeta, who he gonna eat then, no food for the decayed.
He may know something more that we dont know yet, might not be a bad guy after all but misunderstood in his own way, still fucked up tho, as is this whole game.
Mayhaps, (and this is just me thinking out loud mind you, pure conjecture/anectodal views), Abrax might be using the 'decayed' as a means to further his own agenda?

Think of it this way, if we theorize that the decayed is not a sustainable solution in the long term, and more of a short-term fix for a long-term problem from a governance POV, he's not gonna bank on the decayed to come through in the end. Logically speaking.

So, what if the decayed are just fodder for some other unknown faction that he plans to use to take control over Zeta and overthrow Queen Merneith's existing government? He may also extend the option for Zaton and his family to join him as well in the conquest, or, if we choose to side with Merneith instead of our former mentor, then Abrax may be a force to be reckoned with. Former tutor turned villain so to speak, presuming we side with the Queen in our playthrough.
