Imagine if bhvr just eventually hired James as the new narrator for the archive entries.
the word gizmo isnt used enough in this video
Kurt Russel.
What about Talbot's colleague Tomas? He was pulled from the entities darkness and talked about viewing trials for years and was going mad, It sounds like he is or was an Observer.
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.
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!
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.
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
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!
Great video, helped me put the pieces together. Somehow, I missed that amazing Billy meets the Observer scene! Also, that fan art is perfect, honestly, haha.
See you in the Fog, Pixel!
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.
The observer is the in game lore guy. Pixel is the real life observer.
Without watching the video.
You're the observer pixel
It's been you all along.
GHOSTFACE LORE SOON!!! yay
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
I'm guessing he's gonna return in the future as a zombie/ eldrich monster corrupted. I'll be bold even, and say in 3 to 5 years.
I consider the timeline where you kicked the observer out of the tower canon lol
Observer became dredge mby?
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.
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.
Why do you think he could be a killer?
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.
This is a very cool autobiography!
Hoping the twins rework is tomorrow I love them but they need quality of life changes
I kinda hope he's a Killer tbh driven completely mad
I just realized that stories can be real in other universes explains how Jonathan could have an Evil Dead poster or how Feng Min can cosplay as Jill
My third video of asking😂, what the heck are those 2 perks in the gameplay? You always have them and I know for a fact that those icons don’t exist.
Honestly, I haven't been paying any attention to the tomes. One for certain though… its R-really lonely in the Archives now…
