The Presence - Will We Ever Know?

The Presence - Will We Ever Know? Ok, i write alot about the Presence, the whole concept is just, amazing and three years on, we still don't know what it is. Weapon, Alien, God, [i]even human beings.[/i] But, what i'm asking is, Will we ever be told? Year Zero PT2 is long overdue and i'm just wondering, (If 'YZ is alive' is wrong) would Trent ever tell us? http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?22,1032578,1032578#msg-1032578 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:33:21 -0700 Phorum 5.2.7 http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?22,1032578,1347036#msg-1347036 Re: The Presence - Will We Ever Know? http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?22,1032578,1347036#msg-1347036 evilbindi Year Zero Thu, 16 Feb 2012 02:27:25 -0800 http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?22,1032578,1340040#msg-1340040 Re: The Presence - Will We Ever Know? http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?22,1032578,1340040#msg-1340040 jhendrie86 Year Zero Sun, 22 Jan 2012 15:54:38 -0800 http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?22,1032578,1339623#msg-1339623 Re: The Presence - Will We Ever Know? http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?22,1032578,1339623#msg-1339623
since the story tells us that there is a war in iran, glass parking lots you name it, it is logical to think that nukes have been used and that the beings from the other side who are thus bombarded by our ignorance retaliate in a similar manner]]> sui Year Zero Fri, 20 Jan 2012 09:01:58 -0800 http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?22,1032578,1321173#msg-1321173 Re: The Presence - Will We Ever Know? http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?22,1032578,1321173#msg-1321173 Tabris Year Zero Fri, 25 Nov 2011 09:20:11 -0800 http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?22,1032578,1321128#msg-1321128 Re: The Presence - Will We Ever Know? http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?22,1032578,1321128#msg-1321128

The Presence is US, in the sense that when something is sent back in time, it creates a 'glitch' (notice the artwork for YZ)

This glitch is transformed into something that cannot be defined into something physical, Namely the Presence.

Because the conventions of time and space are broken, space is then destroyed.

This is the Presence. You shouldnt fuck with time.

Since when have the media ever been truthful?
Wasnt that the whole point of YZ? Besides, its set in 2022, so why is 2012 so integral to Y.Z'S structure?]]> Averus_32 Year Zero Thu, 16 Sep 2010 10:43:23 -0700 http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?22,1032578,1146796#msg-1146796 Re: The Presence - Will We Ever Know? http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?22,1032578,1146796#msg-1146796 Averus_32 posted:

That gave me a good laugh
But does anyone think that perhaps the presence is something a little closer to home? Like the media say for intense the fact that the machines are starting to look more advanced after bungie shows up now everything is starting to rapidly look more alien through the days

Perhaps we have already been warned to stop.
Yet we refused and the end may be upon us and thus the reason 2012 was planted in the face of our everyday lifes to scare us into thinning our numbers

Would you want to know? For me, the mystery of it is one of the things that makes the story. The fear that it could actually be something supernatural rather than a man made weapon. Everything you have been led to believe by science is suddenly turned on its head, and with it our world and way of life.

I agree. I rather not have it explained.

Yeah, i just didn't want to get too specifical about the details of Mass Effect, but well now that Im talking too someone that knows about it yeah, Sovereign fits perfectly as the role of The Presence. Maybe Trent Plays too much BioWare material XD
