This was really well made! Great video! :)

When I hear Subnautica I think of THE GIANT SPACE LASER THAT BLEW MY RESCUE OUT OF THE FUCKING SKY

I love at 29:54 the sea emperor says “I’ll be an ocean current” and in the new subnautica 2 trailer there’s a ocean current that takes the character deeper

26:30 dont forget there is an alternative ending for the sunbeam where if you do deactivate the gun prior to answering the radio the sunbeam will tell you that the debris field is to much and they must leave thus technically saving the sunbeam but still requiring you to make the rocket anyways

we now know that riley did not get killed and became an intergalactic hero in subnautica 2

37:18  - That isn't just any reaper skull, but THE reaper skull! The very same reaper that Marguerit subdued and brought to the base she shared with the Torgals in the deep grand reef; the one she then killed, and used as a makeshift raft/food supply to survive in as she drifted across the planet to sector 0. Her logs about that time are morbid AF, but I kept wishing she'd written more.

5:00 The Architects being a hivemind would have made it very hard to make out the emperors single voice among the billions - trillions of voices they already hear everyday

I think there’s a databank entry about the inventor of the seamoth that implies something along the lines of “If someone does something that massively increases Alterra’s profits they immediately get promoted to Alterra’s board of directors.” I think the discovery of a plethora of hyper advanced alien technologies would count as something that would boost Alterra’s profits significantly, which means Riley would be promoted to the board of directors.

“Survivor! We see you!” “Is that a building down there?” How can u see me but not the massive turret pointed right at u

What’s the first thing you think of when you hear the words, Subnautica? Me water

"With you, I am ready to face whatever awaits."

Thats goodass line.. Ive been waiting for a sequel ever since hearing that line

There is something that makes the first Subnautica and the second one so vastly different (and because of the major plot difference of the architects direct interference with the plot) is that the first game had so much more mystery to it. I actually liked how we didn't have the architects in the story like Al-an, but we are left remnants of it. Artifacts of the past. It's so interesting to piece together what happened to them by exploring the biomes. Both Subnautica's are superb when it comes to its adventure & world building, but the first one is just so good. The mystery in fear, wonder, and survival. So peak.

First thing I think about?

“Warning: Multiple Leviathan class entities in your vicinity, are you sure whatever your doing is worth it?”

Insert nightmare fuel roar here

Btw the architects were insane they had a bomb capable of desorying a solar system and the bomb was the size of a baseball

Can’t wait for Ken to miss all that lore but instead focus on Bladderfishes

At 6:00 he says that the kraah floods out into the water however the actual thing that happens is more obnoxious than that. So basically after the sea dragon rammed the building and it started to sink the architects knew that all these infected creatures could very easily get out and cause a lot of damage to the environment. So they terminated all the specimens… all but one. Yes, one specimen was left unaccounted for and actually got out and cause the ENTIRE lockdown. I know it’s not explicitly said but I like to think that the one specimen wasn’t even anything dangerous it was just a harmless peeper that got infected and cause the entire planet to go into quarantine.

30:07

I wish there was a mod that let's you give the Sea Emperor a hug in this moment. She deserves it

You forgot to say that they didn't care about finding the degasi. They just wanted to "attempt" to find it so they can be done with it. And when the scanners found a "strange object at the planets surface" (most likely the big gun) officer keen said and I quote "turn that recorder off"

I feel bad for Bart, man. I feel like he would have been able to reach the emperor eventually if he didn't focus on research.

You're mischaracterizing Alan. Firstly, he's of species that operate on logic much more than emotions they have quite a bad grasp of. They don't even know what music is and don't understand it. He expected the sea dragon to get sad or mad (whatever that is, he's not sure) for losing an egg but never expected it to get so triggered it would somehow stalk them all the way to lost river, ghosts' territory. Secondly, the facility walls were made with leviathans in mind, they were supposed to withstand anyone's attack, but the enraged dragon overcame the odds (and died right after, if i'm not mistaken). Basically his only, albeit crucial, mistake is he never bothered to understand emotions of emotionally driven creatures, but he's not stupid. And he actively makes up for that mistake. As for why he got contained in the cube, iirc there were others, its just that his cube's power source survived slightly longer. I'm not sure about the last part though, its been a while since I played the game. In any case, he's the lead scientist, the one with most knowledge, so it makes sense for him to get the cube storage even if it was the only one.
