Is there an in-world explanation why Aloy needs to learn skills again?
Posted On: April 14, 2023

I just finished playing Horizon: Zero Dawn on PC. While waiting for a PC version of Forbidden West, or ability to buy PlayStation 5, I have read the reviews and it looks like in Forbidden West Aloy needs to learn skills she knew in Zero Dawn.


Is it true? And if it is, is there any explanation inside the game world why? Loss of shards and equipment is easy to accept, but loss of skills hurts my suspension of disbelief.


I believe if there's an explanation it needs to be at the beginning, if I'm wrong please keep answers as spoiler free as possible.


Question from user Mołot at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

I have just started playing Forbidden West, and the answer is no.


Aloy's skills or abilities are not mentioned in the first few hours of the game in any of the main story quests or side quests.


Most of the in-game story and dialog is focused on the main storyline of the game, and follows on from Aloy saving Meridian in the Battle of the Alight.


The only thing which might fit this question, is that early in the main campaign Aloy's spear is destroyed and she is given a new one, but there is no dialog about abilities in the cutscene.
