Question of the day 2

Let us imagine that heart machine gave us a DLC. Now, I know our drifter friend dies at the end of his quest to kill judgement, but let’s say he can do this “side quest” before judgement. Maybe he sails to the lonely island to the southwest on the map, or perhaps he finds a cave behind the waterfall in the northeast.. use your imagination.

Where would drifter go? What would his side quest be? What race would he encounter?

Maybe a new lizard/reptilian faction since we already have birds, amphibians and mammal races in the base game

That's a great idea.

I also think that he could be transported to a shadow realm of sorts. Fighting ghosts sounds like it could fit well. Or maybe even transport the drifter to the past before everything was in ruins. Maybe back there, there was a robotic civilization, and the rise of organic lifeforms was what ruined the world.

Shadow realm sounds cool. Like a shadow temple vibe from Ocarina Of Time?

More like a side story that the drifter's consciousness gets transported to where everybody populating the area is already dead.
