Has anyone found any sort of access to hephaestus or Typhon yet?

[Izargon]

If I recall early on from a youtuber, I think there was a mission where you landed on Typhon , but I forget if that was more related to Tartarus or a wrong memory on my part...

It bugs me that at least hephaestus remains unreachable thus far. Bringing the question...

Has anyone ran accross any dialogue anywhere on any of the populated areas that granted access to either Typhon or hephaestus themselves?

[Du-Vu]

You sure they didn't just land on Scylla instead? Typhon and Hephaestus definitely aren't in the game, and unless they reverse course on the DLC, they won't be. Maybe in the sequel. Shame, apparently they had plans for Hephaestus at least at one point, before they had to scale back.

[Izargon]

Discounting Scylla's content.... Because there is some hephaestus stuff there... I looking at the closest planet to the star, not the company..

Surely the devs will release another dlc regarding hephaestus the planet....

On scylla, theres this weird level that seems to line up with where the terraformer is, but other than that one cave entrance to one side, theres no way to access that tmk...

And if they did need to scale back, then why keep hephaestus in the system map at all?

The only reason for it possibly is that the choice to scale back was made very close to launch time.

And yet.... MoE shouldn't be the final dlc for this game.... Not when they created a problem with experience pool between how the dlcs interact with the rest of the story.

I would love to see a dlc based around Hephaestus and Typhon... regarding the other corps...

[Du-Vu]

Man, I would too. Fingers crossed they say otherwise, but I don't know, it's been a weird few years and Obsidian's got a few other projects in the pipe right now.

[Izargon]

Yeah, not to mention theyre in the microsoft umbrella now...

There must be content, the planets are already visible on the map. While some other locations only appear when you start the mission.

Wouldnt Hepaustus be too hot to land on? It looks to be too close to the sun...and technically a bunch of planets you visit would be too cold, guess they forgot how reality works, woops

[Du-Vu]

Eh. They have terraforming. And N-Rays, and mind control beams and shrink rays. It's not like it's hard sci-fi to begin with. But if you talk to characters like that one merc in Amber Heights or read some of the lore about cryogenics, it seems like they did their research and know how reality works, they just don't always care if something else would be funnier or more retro. Fallout science, basically. But in the case of Monarch and Eridanos, gas giants also give off their own heat, and Scylla and Gorgon are specifically only habitable inside their magic force field domes.

All the planets and asteroids are visible from the time you got into space, and were in there from release, before the DLC came out. It's only a few space stations and the different landing pads that get added in later missions.

Right, meaning there has to be, or should be some dialogue or quest trigger somewhere.....

But where...... and how.....

I'm thinking theres some very specific dialogue choices for Typhon.... and Hephaestus... Maybe connected to someone in Fallbrook maybe....
I don't know, and I want to know... purpose of this thread after all...

Maybe if you turn in phineas welles, as early as possible and choose the side of the corporations.

Hmm, can anyone verify that last comment? From what I've seen, either the youtubers pushed to game end or ignored sidequests in the recorded footage.

[Du-Vu]

I've done a Board playthrough. It doesn't take you to Heph or Typhon, they're just not in the game.

[Izargon]

How bout fallbrook quests?

[Du-Vu]

No, far as I can tell Cat Malin just directs you to the boarst factory and Cascadia.

[Izargon]

huh... I'd have expected more quest giving in fall brook for the size...

[Du-Vu]

I'm sure they wanted to, but the budget and timeframe were just tight at the time, and Obsidian is a relatively small company for the kinds of games they make.
