This was the hardest [zu schreiben]McCaw said. “It took a lot of design, reframing and rethinking to get it right. But it was crucial. It’s the emotional core of the game. It’s also an alpha example of the problem Aloy has, so to speak. That is, she wants to love the world, but she doesn’t.” Necessarily all of it. Including that kind of thinking of itself.”

Senior writer Annie Kitten added, “Beta represents all of Aloy’s struggles around wanting to be like Elisabet, wanting to connect with others but feeling isolated. It all comes together in one person. Aloy is trying to deal with it.”
“Mainly because PETA is afraid and mistreated,” McCaw explained. “And these are things that Aloy wants to bury inside; her upbringing, her fear. So we wanted her to get hurt a little bit, and have to watch that. But then she accepts those things as well.”
