my thoughts on watcher in its ENTIRETY
\/
MAJOR SPOILERS
also some watcher art I forgot to post
the watcher. was one fuck ton of a roller coaster. from the excitement of opening the game, to the annoyingly slow progress, to the absolute devastation of the throne and unfortunate evolution. to finally. the first ending. the past ending
I struggled heavily throughout the campaign, progress feels impossible and gameplay wise it's not the best, but it does make up for it lore wise.
I was absolutely devastated over the future ending and Prince and the rot taking over. but now I've taken the time to think I think it's interesting, I at least believe prince is interesting. the rot trying to replicate an iterator, as that's where it's dna is based. and even more cooler, in unfortunate evolution where the rot replicates VOID WORMS. it's such an interesting concept, but it makes SENSE. iterators are powered by VOID FLUID, of course the rot would also imitate it.
as for the past ending. seeing this ending definitely shifted my view in the watcher entirely, and I don't think without it I would enjoy the watcher the way I do now, it's a perfect contrast to the future ending. you get to see the ancients and how they lived. the echo talks about how they were raised with other children by multiple people! overall, gameplay, the watcher is frustrating and slow and so, so much backtracking without any knowledge of where to go, but lore wise and how it's story is shown? absolutely beautiful. to the point it did almost cry lol.
also I believe the past ending takes place on pebbles! the pearls on the shelves are the same colours as the ones in his chamber! but there is definitely no solid proof. I hope the future updates add onto this side of the timeline more, and we can see how they lived more
annoying to understand everything but it's the only way I could think of thats readable
for clarity by 'has not met' for sos, means they have not spoken to them, most iterators do know sos
also my oc is there, she's the purple one that's madly in love with looks to the moon
recently I've had three ocs living inside my head
a vulture and two lizards that somehow ( I haven't figured out how yet, ) became sentient
the vulture follows one of my slugcat ocs called the befriender, while the two lizards live on their own, the red Liz taking care of the small blue lizard pup
apologies for the lack of art for the lizards, I'll promise you'll most likely see more of these guys at some point ( also my lack of posting will probably continue for a little while )
also first post woah, . you will see a lot of pebbles. I love you five pebbles, ( impossible to tell )
and yes it's my pfp smh

watcher spoilers! stupid watcher doodle + small yap
I think the watcher is technically still a pup. forcefully put into the role of a powerful being.
like similar to monks age. but monk isn't a God lol.
this was inspired by this spinning top dialogue
