Reading from a script makes me sound so chill that this is just an ASMR video now.
I'm sure folks will point out that there's a huge metal gate to show the door to the Triplicate Space, but to be honest, I would always jump over the stone wall from the back of the inside of the ship, so I never saw it. It just looked like the game was detecting the character in a place he shouldn't be and correcting it. A mysterious phenomenon during gameplay that seemed like a mistake or a debug matter. When the purpose for the key clicked, I felt a childlike excitement for exploration that I haven't experienced in over a decade. I felt like I was discovering a forgotten relic.
What a thrill it was! It's kind of silly, but implementing this unused space from the base game for me to discover kinda overshadowed the rest of the DLC--and I still adored the DLC proper. I've been obsessing over it for the last few days, so I had to make a lore video.
I hope it opens discussion for folks in the comments.
