Mystery

[Jeeqbit]

Their spoiling Solution Nine was the biggest misstep in terms of promoting the expansion imo (though I could see how it can also be jarring for someone who didn't get it spoiled). I definitely spent the first half wondering when things will connect to neon lights city instead of thinking about what the Golden City is or really caring much about the moment-to-moment stuff.

My speculation was that Solution Nine WAS the golden city, or related to it, and that since it was a city of illusions, it was projecting gold until we turn it purple. I speculated the purple we saw earlier on was likely what pushed us in the northern direction to investigate.

I wasn't too far off. The technology powering Solution Nine did in fact power the golden city and the area in Yak T'el. But Solution Nine itself wasn't the golden city.

Oh I made that connection too. I meant that the mystery of the golden city was mostly gone because of that, so the only thing left was just a matter of how we actually get there.
