Zaton ruling atop his own gilded Throne as the ruler of Zeta would be a great outcome if we such a path were to exist as an option later in the game
I think this is a possible outcome, even if it’s not entirely certain. Still, many doors are open at this stage of the game, which leaves room for various developments. Moreover, this kind of situation could represent one possible path or be one of the potential consequences in any power struggles (mutants, raiders, internal conflicts, decayed) taking place around Zeta.
I want to see more of the Decayed's storyline as well tbh. There are a lot of unresolved points in the Decayed's path that I would like to see get more closure on in subsequent updates.
I think it's likely that the Decayed's HQ was a pre-war relic from an old warehouse/military base or factory that the Decayed/Abrax refubished together to server as their main base of operations. At-least that's my personal interpretation
Absolutely, this is one of the most intriguing and promising storylines in the game in terms of twists and revelations, and any expansion of the lore and backstory of DS is always welcome. It’s also pretty frustrating that the game has sidelined this important plot for quite some time, but on the other hand, there is still a lot happening elsewhere with the raiders, mutants, and in Zeta. That said, I share that feeling and want answers to my questions, as the mystery remains quite intriguing.
It depends on what we’re talking about when it comes to Decayed and their base. You can clearly see docks from an old train station with trains still running which also work as a main hall. The rest of the place looks like a mix of different rooms such as a slaughterhouse, a slave market, and trading spots all connected by old industrial pre-war broken-down buildings that have been patched up. Overall, the complex feels pretty big, maybe even huge. I suppose the complex stretches across a large portion of the ruined center of Old Cairo.
On the other hand, Lord Abrax lives somewhere else in a building that looks like an old temple or pyramid and serves as both his palace and residence. We only see the outside for a moment but it definitely has an old stone look that is very different from the industrial style of the Decayed’s base.
So it seems that under Lord Abrax’s lead, the Decayed have started building a new kind of society. It’s very industrial and mechanical, but also harsh and brutal, shown in their cannibalistic and violent behavior. In contrast, Zeta’s society is both old-fashioned and zealot when it comes to technology, strictly rejecting anything from the old world, including its tools and machines.
I know Zahra would want to tame Merneith and make her be a submissive little whore like Ain is
I hope so too, because the Queen does have her bitchy moments and she needs to be reminded as to who the real matriarch is in the Zaton household
Haha yes, I agree ! ^^ I really enjoyed that scene where, after returning from the Zeta market, Zaton takes Ain to his dungeon to let her live out her fantasy of being a slave in a very steamy way.
I have a feeling the queen’s turn will come soon enough. I doubt Zaton and Zahra would pass up that kind of opportunity, and Merneith probably needs to pay a little for the lack of respect she’s shown so far toward the Stalker and his wife.
