No, the fact that you seem to think 'not knowing' is a bad thing. GOOD narrative thrives on questions and here we have one hell of a question: 'what happened to the world and why did machines take over?' You're not supposed to know. That's the point. |
I don't know if that's necesarily the case, I think it's more a matter of the world is back in balance, like the Human race were the top dog, now we're just one of many species trying to survive.
The machines don't seem like a massively dominant species or group of species, dangerous sure, but the landscape isn't littered with them, nor do we see Humans or other animals being attacked on sight by all of the machines.
I agree with your points on this narrative causing people to think and that makes it great IMO too.
I can't agree with the assertion that these machine have the potential to be dangerous automatically makes them the most dominant species, especially when Aloy can still take on the most dangerous one we've seen out of the bunch and win using her skills.
Aloy can quite literally defeat a full herd if she uses her wits and plans out her moves to do so, using The Machine's strengths against them.
