Subnautica
The female protagonist is Marguerit Maida
The bounty hunter merc from the degrassi expedtion, I finished the game 3 times and I think that she survived the encounter with the leviathen and somehow made it to the arctic part on the planet.

can't wait to play her since she seems more badass than our bleeding hearted hero, time to carve up some sea funa :D

I'm thinking, like many here are, that Maida is not our heroine for the expansion, if the infection didn't kill her (and it would) ten years is a long time to survive on this world. She didn't have Bart's smarts, so while she could hunt, I doubt she could plan well for the future. Also her penchant for extreme reaper wrestling might have a rather Stever Irwin outcome.
She killed many reapers and stalkers, but met her end when she tried to eat rabbit ray and was poisoned. I want this to be canon now...
Emperor Tarek eredeti hozzászólása:
guys wth.... were u NOT listening and reading the ingame lore??? in the federation people are almost immortal (they live a really long time) the oldest guy in the expedtion was 80+ years old yet he was just fine, in fact he was worried that he wont get an extra 80 years stuck there (replacing organs and advanced medical tech...etc)

and no she did not "die" she just got dragged away when she was stabbing the ♥♥♥♥♥ ass leviathan

Not quite.

You forget "the oldest guy" is 84 and "hoped to live another 80 years" if he were back in Federation space(Or wherever he came from). But because he's stranded on the island he can't get organ tansplants or synthesised organs to allow him to live another 80 years. He was also incredibly wealthy which he alludes to as being the main reason why he and an elite few can live so long.

Also, Margurite was a horribly written and voiced character. She was flat out annoying to listen to and felt like her personality was ripped out of a "How To Be A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ For Dummies" book and yes, I mean "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥" because the personality type they used was very masculine. I pretty much imagine Margurite to be the type who wears sunglasses in doors and always wears a leather jacket. She was lazily written, poorly done and for the love of me I hope never to hear of that character again.

If you want to write a "badass" female character into a story there are much better ways than taking the trope of an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ male persona and simply applying it to a woman.
If we can collect stalker teeth via knife fights ala the data logs, then yes.

Otherwise, it's an impostor.

Fitting!
Hmmm, this could get interesting. Two separate groups: one wanted weapons and one wanted a female player character. Devs make it a two for one, but both groups dislike the other requested feature - all heads explode!
If it’s set in an arctic zone, they could explain that the cold stops/slows progression of the virus.

The precursors certainly would've tested that, so I doubt it.

The biggest irony of the Degasi's doom is that everything was fine, until the ONE time Maida listened to Bart's mewling to stop killing samples. So she stops killing them, brings home a live sample, and then it's goodbye survivors. Great job Bart.

Even if she had killed the reaper, I imagine the carcass would attract predators from all around and we'd see similar results.

Now I'm imagining crabsquids swarming over a reaper carcass and it's not pretty...

Check the dialogue again. She intended to kill it anyway. The captain was angry that she even brought it because he was worried other monsters would come as a result (to avenge their fallen kin?). Seems she started a war they couldn’t finish. You are imagining that Bart told her to stop killing samples, unless I missed that part myself. She does ask Bart if he wants her to “cut some of ‘em open for you...find out what makes ‘em tick?” He simply says, “No.” He does not tell her not to kill any more of them at all, just that he doesn’t need her to cut some open for study.

Vivisections are never fun.
Not a chance of her survival and considering her age? her body might not be able to fight the bacteria as well as a younger body can.
Assuming she found a sample of E42 and kept herself alive? the enzyme won't last forever and the bacteria will come back one day anyway, there is also nothing to state if E42 will work a second time around. In all that if she had a fully working PDA that can teach her how to use the equipment properly, she could last until the bacterium comes back.
I heard that one of the biggest problems with the "fan theory" phenomenon on the internet is that intreped theorists scour existing material for clues to what should be in the next installment of their fandom -- but that's it. The only reference they can have is the past, the lore that's already been written, and so on.

In this case, Maida is the only female character in the game, at least the only plausible one for surviving on a hostile planet -- so the inevitable fan theory is that she will be our next protagonist. But writers make MORE lore, and create NEW characters for sequels -- ones that usually aren't hinted at in prior works.

For example, back before the last Harry Potter book came out, I read a fan theory about "Dumbledore's Not Dead." It was one of the most exhaustively researched theories I've read, and pulled dozens of clues out of all the previous books to prove that Dumbledore would come back in the last book.

But do you know what the theory didn't mention? The three deathly hallows. Because they weren't hinted at in the prior books. Dumbledore's history, his relationship with Grindlewald, Snape's love for Lily -- these were the important pieces of "lore" that fueled the story -- and we didn't know about them until after we read them in the book.

(there are lots of newer examples of this -- I was going to use the recent Star Wars movies, but people are still upset about them. There were lots of really well researched fan theories about the Last Jedi that drew on hints from all of the previous films, none of which turned out to be true. The writers wrote a NEW story instead.)

The point being, in Subnautica, the lore that explains our new character, why she's in the arctic biome, and what her goals are haven't been written yet. It probably isn't hinted at in any of the data entries, voice logs, PDAs, etc. in the first part of the game. We've played Riley's story. We've seen his adventures on 4546b -- but ONLY his adventures.

We arrogently assume that because we've read the lore and played the game, that we know all the important information about this planet.

But since there is an incoming sequel, we can assume there's a lot more to the planet than Riley discovered. Things that probably don't involve Kharra or the cure at all. Things that don't involve the Aurora, or the Sunbeam, or the Degasi. Maybe even things that don't involve the Precursers at all.

After all, the entire game of Subnautica takes place in, what, an area 10km square? Planets are big. There's a lot of room for different things to be going on.

Judging by what we know of the current game I highly doubt that Maida is the character we will be playing.

Personally I also hope this isn’t the case. To me, Maida was an idiot; she’s a perfect example of why the “I must tackle everything head in and kill everything” aspect just doesn’t work on this planet.

I said this in another post but I personally think that Bart could have figured out the cure had Paul and Maida not been around. Paul was too much of an old wuss to want to do anything other than survive and Maida was too forceful in everything she did. Her bringing Bart dead creatures was no help to his studies. (And no Bart did not ask her to even participate in his research, she took it upon herself to “help”).

Either way, I really don’t think Maida would have made it to the arctic biome if the ending scene is to be taken as the actual distance between our current biomes and the arctic biome. It’s just too far.
she was taken by a warpper to a distant research outpost where she was frozen in statis and when the hero cured the infection she was revived
