The Future of Gaming - Discussion & Video Collection.As a human, you're viewed as an enemy to both dimensions, despite the fact that you're ultimately fighting to maintain balance in service of Prodeus. You, a human, are then "attuned" to a Nexus Point, which is a creation of Prodeus, that allows a life form to be rebuilt upon death, with the intent of collecting the stolen runes and returning them to restore order. This, in turn, awakens and attracts the attention of the Chaos dimension, which erupts into a war between humans and Chaos, with Chaos eventually corrupting the humans in the process. At some point, humans begin extracting runes and various other things from the Prodeus dimension for research to use toward their own purposes. Humans locate the asteroid where this ancient battle took place and begin to unearth a bunch of ancient artifacts, learning how to enter the Prodeus dimension in the process. Prodeus, unable to defeat the seemingly infinite numbers of the Chaos dimension, eventually seals itself off in a pocket dimension that Chaos cannot enter, effectively pausing the war. The Prodeus and Chaos dimensions are at war in an eternal struggle, with neither side making much progress. There's also that fun bit about Mine Cart races eventually being made into a death sport for rich people. Then, something very sudden happened, like some unaware schmuck pressed a button they shouldn't have, and opened a portal to allow various invasions to proceed until things were eventually taken over completely. The time period between your "death" and rebirth is interesting, as these terminals commonly references "the first battle" in past tense, and how humans barely managed to fight things back, and then built a military machine on a giant asteroid (on which the game takes place). The only other thing is that there's lore terminals in some secret areas that drop snippets. Once you finish that last mission, you're just opening another connection that only you know how to, "for some reason." Almost like you got the info from some outside source. Nexus: "A connection or series of connections between two or more things." Essentially, the places where everything is capable of interacting, and they just all go after each others throats. Nexus Points are a reference to this too. There's also the idea that if there is nothing alive or mobile, that could be considered "Perfect Order." May as well let the Vessel through and accomplish that, after seeing what he does elsewhere. They probably did this to have a kind of immovable object for the unstoppable force that was Chaos. The Prodeus dimension was likely designed by the Elder Dimension, and as such, had what equates to Admin Access in even the most ancient structures/devices you end up fighting through. Also in the opening, the thing that causes the whole crash is the rune flat out deflects both types of energy focused on it without even a scratch. In the opening you're "killed," and converted in such a way you can't be corrupted by either side, Chaos or Prodeus. The runes are what Chaos and Prodeus are fighting over, you're the guy just there to bring the runes back to the Elder Dimension before others can get a hold on them. You're a freshly made Vessel of The Elder Dimension. It only kind of makes sense after the last mission.
