Atlas wanted you as part of the simulation, because ATLAS knew when it would die, and was afraid to be alone. You're a copy of the mind of ATLAS's creator. But they took that story 95% of the way there and then just seemed to give up at the end and not bother to resolve anything.What do you mean, it's unresolved? I'm not really interested in a minecraft clone with prettier graphics, I was interested in what was going on with ATLAS and everything else - and in NEXT that was pretty interesting and engaging and I got invested in it. What attracted me to NMS was the story (even at the start, when there barely was one), not the sandbox elements. Originally posted by evildrganymede:No, I got your point - I just find that incredibly unsatisfying. You refused to reset the universe, so you have not completed the story line yet. Maybe they're going to add a proper ending to the story later but it seems odd that they added all the other parts of the storyline and then just didn't bother to finish it in NEXT. to play it until you get bored, like Minecraft or any other survival game) then why did they make the effort to put all that lore in there to start with? What's the point if it doesn't resolve to anything? I think it's pretty disingenuous of them to string players along and get them playing the storyline for 30-40 hours only to leave it hanging without resolution at the end. but they didn't.Īnd if they wanted it to just be a place to 'tell your own story' (i.e. They could have still put in a proper resolution to the story and THEN said "and now you're done and it's time for you to make your own story" and I would have been fine with that. But they took that story 95% of the way there and then just seemed to give up at the end and not bother to resolve anything. No, I got your point - I just find that incredibly unsatisfying. So what will it be? Would it be a story of an traveler who traversed all the galaxies? Or maybe it will be a name carved into magnificent monuments? You can be a part of the group who build the first city in NMS. It is a story of what YOU do in that 16 (atlas) min. It is not something you follow, but what you lead. The lore of NMS is the prelude to YOUR story. Originally posted by Jyin:I am afraid you missed my (and possibly Churchhill’s) point. So are we supposed to build that and put it in the socket and then something happens that stops the countdown to the End and fixes Atlas?Īm I missing something here or does the ending really fall flat on its face at the last hurdle? Because if the only options are to just carry on as if nothing is happening or Reset the Universe and start again from scratch then that's really disappointing and unsatisfying. I did go to one more Atlas Station past the final one (where you get the Heart of the Sun stone) and that was weird - it didn't have one of those huge Atlas Interface orb things in it, and I could walk all the way up to where the big Atlas Orb would be, and at the base there is a little plinth with a hole that looks supiciously like it could fit one of those Atlas Seeds (maybe the Heart of the Sun?). I also visited all the Atlas Paths and got the recipes for all the Atlas Stones (though I haven't made any of them - is that worth doing?) and got all 16 Glyphs (which were given to me on each jump I did). start off again with nothing in a new galaxy, and it's probably still 16 minutes from The End), or just carry on playing in my current Galaxy until I get bored and go back to Atlas to reset it? Is that really it or did I miss something? I was really hoping there'd be some way to stop the shutdown, fix the ATLAS, and/or break the cycle. cried out six times, and then refused to Reset The Universe.Īnd then Atlas basically just said "OK, fine, come back when you're ready?" and sent me back to a random planet and gave me the recipe for the Remembrance Stone, and suddenly the 16 minutes doesn't matter anymore (despite it appearing to countdown earlier)? So are my only options to either reset the universe (i.e. So, after wading through the storyline in NEXT - which I thought was really quite good now, with all the stuff going on with Artemis, Apollo, and Null and the secret of "16" - I stepped through the Final Portal and confronted the Atlas.
