  1. I highly doubt that the armchair is the Observer's final resting place – not because it's not him or anything, but because we all know how the Entity works. Death isn't an escape. Killing him off entirely without re-using him in another capacity seems uncharacteristic for the Entity… even if he was to be discarded, it would probably be to the Void, not just left as a body in the tower. We might not see him again, either in-game or in-lore, but I don't think he's finished just because he's not on-screen anymore.

    That being said, if he truly did die, then I guess he got what he wanted in the end, in a grim way: a way out of the Entity's realms.

  2. Genuine question; I was under the impression that the survivors knew they were dying, over and over again; having full memory of their previous torture. This constant pain, torture, and cycle of death is what causes them to loose hope. When the entity cannot feed on this hope, or emotion it casts them aside in the void as broken husks, as seen in the blights tome/ cutscene when first teased. But if their memories are lost each time they die, why do they loose hope/ emotion? Is hope as a concept almost like a finite resource to survivors? Sorry if its a dumb question, also really enjoyed the video dude!

  3. I think the observer dude is gone forever. He took Billy the entity's advice. By choosing the sanctuary mindset.
    TBH the entity can kill him anytime & anywhere. I reckon that the entity is neither malevolent or benevolent.

  4. Considering the “The” title in front of The Observes name, I’d not be surprised if he became a killer someday. Maybe.

    I’d love to see him succumb similar to Talbot succumbing to and becoming The Blight.

    Considering he’s had vivid fantasies that he’s played out of murder, and has gone slowly mad, it’d make sense.

    Either the Auris or a 9 Iron golf club as a weapon and some bizarre hallucinatory power. It’s just a thought, but it could work.

    Been waiting for this video btw! Absolutely love your vids Pixel, and this is one I’ve been waiting for

  5. Gods alive we got a whole lot of stuff coming down the pipeline, you have got your work cut out for you my friend! It was nice to take this time in between to go over The Observer before it kicks up again. Always look forward to these videos, thanks for another look into the fog!

  6. its kinda cheesy, but honestly i hope that the entity starts to break in and get the new archive group, and right as theyre about to die or whatever the observer comes back and saves them. and then he just is the disgruntled drunk mentor to these new characters, aiding them as they traverse the tomes searching for answers.

  7. I hope the observer gets added as a playable character wether it’s as a survivor or killer, it would be hilarious to see a drunk guy with the worlds biggest beard running around whacking people with a golf club

  8. A Realm consisting of memories, memories that can give shape, and those of which that relate to fear being more likely propagated and consumed. Wonder what happens if someone spends too much time in the memories of others, and not on their own.

  9. i don't keep up with dbd's lore like i used to, but i remember being really interested in the slow collapse of his psyche and crumbling sense of identity after god knows how long of staring into the abyss of horrible memories and the entity's own cosmic indigestion

    really appreciate this vid for getting me up to speed <3

    p.s. i have yet to see any lore enthusiast dbd fans that like how survivors lose their memories of trials in canon. i think you're the first? or at least the first to not instantly go "this sucks"
    p.p.s. holy shit they got tobin bell in dbd and no one Told me.

  10. So the six year anniversary crown that the observer sees on the side of the tower was just a portent that his story would conclude 'IN year six'? And NOT that he'd join as the anniversary killer… It might also rule Vlad the vampire 'knight' out of contention (as our OG knight) if the crown was specifically observer focused and not killer tease focused.

    Is there a sniff that we might actually be in the observer's epilogue phase rather than the start of a new story? There was talk about them taking a fresh approach to how the tomes / archives would go 'in the future', it feels suspicious to me that Arkham wasn't the clean slate for the new take.
