Discussion Why are they afraid of me ?
If I remember correctly I don’t think I’ve seen this reaction at any point before the DLC. I’ve never experienced such an encounter in any game I played except Ghost of Tsushima but I mean your enemies watch you decapitate someone in-front of their eyes no wonder they cower in fear.
Genuinely though is there any lore connection to why they react like that during the DLC, I get that the hunter is meant to be feared canonically and is an absolute menace. What’s funny is they had every right to be afraid I felt no remorse whatsoever, dare I say I felt satisfaction. I was even thinking of more creative ways to kill them and assure them their instincts to fear me were in the right place …… IM NOT A PSYCHOPATH… I have felt empathy towards characters in other games before, its just idk this game really digs into you with the satisfaction of violence it made me truly embody the sadistic spirit of the hunter, I even stopped using weapons based on how strong they are and just go for the most violent weapons out their. My favorite pick is the beautiful Whirligig Saw.
So does anyone have an explanation for this encounter? Im genuinely curious about the lore behind this.
