post game "ghosts???" MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING

[Ciaran Zagami]

so I beat this game a while back and desided to explore around the world to find stuff.
seemingly randomly when I aproch a random encounter and talk to the person instead of giving me a mission they are replaced with either Glory or Hope. and speak some werid cryptic stuff in the standered male/female wastlander voice. the world in the cutscene is also shroded in a thick purple sky.

has anyone else found these "Ghosts" I tried looking them up online but found nothing just wondering if someone could explain what the hell is going on

I've seen them. I get the impression that Max is a little crazy at this point, due to losing his wife/daughter pre-game, then losing Hope/Glory here.

Max never had a daughter pre-game. Rather, he had an infant son. It' has yet to be explained who the girl in Max's visions are. Likely we'll get some insight to this in the upcoming prequel movie.

I know. That's bothered me since the Fury Road film. It's never explained who the girl and woman are, only that Max somehow failed them. Everyone seems to assume they were his wife and daughter, but AFAIK, Max has only ever had one wife (Jesse) and one toddler son (Sprog), both killed by Toecutter's gang prior to the major apocalypse (maybe right around the beginning of the end). Who the new 'family' is, is never covered.

Either way, it's pretty clear that Max doesn't deal well with personal loss.

The stories of Mad Max are pretty blurry regarding continuity indeed. But it is actually explained in canon who the little girl in Max's visions in Fury Road is. It is in fact Glory. Vertigo released Fury Road prequel comics written by George Miller himself and in these comics Max meets Hope and Glory, and the story of Glory's rescue is very simmilar than in the game. Max also travels to Gastown to get a V8 engine and meets Hope there, that asks him to rescue Glory from the Underdune. The story of the game is very similar to the prequel comics, and I think, does a very good job of setting up Fury Road. Max looses Hope and Glory, regains his Interceptor and leaves for the Plains of Silence. I actually beleve, that the Planes of Silence are in fact the ancient seabed streaching beyond the territory of Gastown in the The Big Nothing. And it is in this place, Max spends a long time, wandering completely alone "Fixing whats broken" he forgets his voice, and after some time returns to the Citadel in Fury Road. I beleve he tells Furiosa and the other women in the movie, to stay away from the seabed saying "Theres nothing but salt". Max knows this because he has been there, a long time, those are the Plains of Scilence he has returned from.

If you failed to do the encounters during game-play, then you will endure these visions as you completed the game, but failed to do the encounters when needed. These encounters are filled in with Max's visions of what might have been. If you did what was asked in-game you wouldn't be seeing these "Ghosts". The game would have ended with total completion, therefore no need for visions of what may have been.
I had two encounters that resulted in these visions, after I had completed the game and wondered if I had made a mistake. Seems like it was part of the end game to get us all thinking on Max's behaviour towards these two characters. Morals and how we abide by them! saying that though in a linear game where the outcome is determined? What else can you do but play along.

I had those visions already before I ended the game. Actually right at the point when i got my car back from chum and went racing to the rescue of glory and hope. So it gave me a pretty decent expectation they would die.

for me outside of a strong hold hope said "why did you come here? you brought only death."
