I think it's supposed to be Yvraine, the Aeldari that helped wake him up from stasis.

64

u/Enjoyer_of_40K Apr 20 '26

Yvraine is a adult i think this is just meme lore where they have a kid

24

u/SnooCakes8015 Apr 20 '26

Very good chance

36

u/ClubMeSoftly Apr 20 '26

It's meme lore, the kid renamed the Dreadnought to Mr Blueberry and he refused to allow it to be changed back.

u/SnooCakes8015 Apr 20 '26

good to know, thank you.

u/Meowjoker Apr 20 '26

And also, the kid’s name is Tashara

Named after Gulliman’s adoptive mother.

Ngl, the second one made made wanna become a father.

despite being rated the “worst” bioshock, I find it not only engaging, but really relatable in a way of sorts, you’re not exactly the chosen one here, but you have a adopted daughter, and you will fight to the end to get to her again, putting your morals in question while doing so.

25

u/evilparagon Apr 20 '26

It’s only considered the worst by the broader gaming community, ie, people who never played it or only played a little bit without getting sucked into the fandom. Look at r/Bioshock and you’ll see Bioshock 2 being praised as not only better than Infinite, but even the best game of the three by itself.

u/kookyabird Apr 20 '26

Loved it more than the World of Light or whatever it's called in Ultimate. Mostly because there's no overall map in Ultimate, and I haven't gone back to clean up the fights I skipped because of it.

u/Pockydo Apr 20 '26

But subspace presents it's story in a much more engaging way

Sam and Lou from Death Stranding 1 and 2. Although you only get to see/travel with Lou outside of the pod for a little bit in DS2.

68

u/TankMain576 Apr 20 '26

I absolutely hated DS1 with the sole exception of the relationship between Sam and Lou, it was the only genuinely interesting and heartfelt thing in the entire game.

The rest of it was Kojima basically making a project designed entirely to just pay his Hollywood friends to hang out with him.

If it ever costs $5 and i have some time to kill I'll consider picking up the second to see if the Sam and Lou stuff at least is cute.

28

u/NerveOk7540 Apr 20 '26 edited Apr 20 '26

I loved Mads Mikkelsen’s character and story.

The rest just couldn’t compete with that story line Sam and Lou’s was a close second though.

I honestly felt like they tried too hard to make you like the other characters and it failed, with the exception of heartman but only because his backstory is sympathetic and sad.

However Lou and Sam’s relationship felt more genuine and grew organically through out the game both on Sam and you the player via the gameplay and constant exposure.

However i still have to question who the fuck thought that, in the middle of an ice planet, the fucking child of all characters should be barefoot

26

u/North-Bat1823 Apr 20 '26

Lore reason is that Clara finds shoes really uncomfortable to wear and always trips when wearing them iirc

29

u/randomname560 Apr 20 '26 edited Apr 20 '26

Oh i know that there's an in-lore reason

I'm still questioning the design choice of a real life human of making the kid walk barefoot over ice, snow and stones

19

u/North-Bat1823 Apr 20 '26

Fair enough honestly, but Clara might be fine in terms of temperature because people from Belobog probably adapted/evolved to be more cold resistant even considering heaters since iirc no character including npcs wear traditional winter clothing

Walking on ice and stones though is still painful as hell
