So what's the deal with the aliens?
Posted: Fri Nov 13, 2020 3:43 pm
In D1, a computer virus of unknown origin infects mining mechs in the solar system.
In D2, it infects mines beyond the solar system, and the Material Defender tracks it to an alien planetoid and destroys it.
In D2 Vertigo, the virus infects even more mines outside of the solar system, and another Material Defender destroys them.
In D3, the main antagonist is Dravis, who is using the virus for his own goals.
In D3 Mercenary (I haven't played it), the player encounters and destroys another alien planetoid, killing an 'alien queen'.
I always thought that if there was a D4 made, it would reveal everything about the aliens and possibly have you destroy them once and for all. But that never happened.
So there are still so many unresolved questions:
- Who/what are the aliens?
- Where do they come from?
- Why did they create the virus and what was their goal with it?
- What is the deal with the planetoid spaceships?
- What was the deal with the alien queen?
- Are the aliens still active/a threat after the events of D3?
Does anyone have any answers for these?
