It’s easy to take for granted that we are connected to our fellow humans. We are all interconnected, we’re all connected to each other, and we are all connected to nature.
If you think that, you don’t understand how interconnected we are. To connect, you have to connect with something. Connecting with something is like taking a flight to somewhere else. You need to be connected to something to go up there and experience the excitement of flying. Connecting with something is like taking a road trip to a different town. You have to be connected to something to get on that road trip. Connecting with something is like taking a day trip to somewhere else.
As it turns out, Colt Vahn’s story is a great example of the importance of creating a connection with something that we have no control over. He’s had to make several trips back and forth to the Visionaries so that he could kill them. In the first trailer, a woman is seen holding up a picture of Colt to show him his new house and he says, “Oh, she’s with me.
That’s a little bit like the protagonist in a sci-fi movie, right? Except instead of being in a post-apocalyptic world, we’re in the year 2013, in which the main character Colt Vahn is living with the Visionaries. In fact, that’s pretty much the whole story.
The reason Colt was not seen in the trailer is because he wasn’t sure if his connection to the Visionaries would be on the other side of the world. In the first trailer, he shows him an old house, and in the second, he shows him a house that has been built as a permanent home for him as it is in the new construction trailer. He shows the house as a place where he can explore and learn more about the future that’s being built.
In the first trailer, it is hard to get the connection between Colt and the Visionaries. His connection is only apparent on the outside of the house (i.e. the one you see in the second trailer), and the one you see in the first trailer is a few rooms down, but not really a connection to an outside world. The Visionaries appear to have a connection to him in the same way that they show up in the trailer, but it’s unclear.
In the first trailer, Colt is shown to be a great writer, but even so, what does it mean to him to write? You can imagine the plot, you can imagine the story, but what does that mean to Colt? We don’t know? So we can’t even understand the plot of this game? I’m not sure I can, but you can imagine.
Well… when we first saw the first Deathloop trailer, we were pretty sure it wasn’t Colt’s story that was being told in the trailer. But then that trailer turned out to be the first Deathloop trailer, so we weren’t sure what to think.
As it turns out, Colt Vahn is a writer. We can see him as the guy who wrote a book about his life in prison, but he wrote a story about his life in prison too, and we cant figure out how to connect what he wrote with his life in prison.
We dont know. We think it might be an authorial connection, but we cant figure out how.
