There’s a setting to allow the video to be embedded Embed videos & playlists - YouTube Help

Or you might have to go into youtube studio and look for the box next to “Allow embedding” turn it on and click save. How To Enable Embedding On A YouTube Video

In the profile banner portraits, there was a portrait called “Aristaeus”. In the description of this portrait, it has a story with words highlighted over to the point were we can’t see them. It tells us about this scientist getting permission from some form of management to make a module with A.I., and then locking himself in a room with the A.I., uploading a copy of his consciousness, and losing memory of what happened (amnesia).

I have a theory: this same scientist is Lloyd. Lloyd connected his mind to the ravagers, similar to how Aristaeus tried to connect with his new A.I., likely in the same “Waderkvarn” facility Lloyd used to work in (according to the "Ravaged Lloyd Portrait). After failing his first attempt at connecting with the A.I., Aristaeus was taken to an insane asylum (hence the “…isolated, and also provided with psychiatric care.” part of the story). He was either released or escaped (I’m not sure which one), possibly around the time of the apocalypse (A.K.A. “Crossout”) happened. Afterwards, the ravagers somehow got out and escaped the lab, hence why they roam the wasteland (likely also due to crossout, or maybe they cause Crossout, IDK). Aristaeus (probably using the name “Lloyd” by now to hide his true identity) went back to the facility, which had been long abandoned and shut down by then, and got his old technology back. With the help of this newly-acquired-but-still-old technology, he successfully joined his mind with the ravagers, creating the new ravager armor parts we got, as well as the new weapons, modules, wheels, etc.

The one puzzle piece I’m not sure where to put is the awakening adventure. At the end (SPOILER ALERT!!!), Lloyd tricked the survivors to get the ravager technology, but this theory is true, why couldn’t he just get it himself, using the knowledge he had in the Wederkvarn lab?

This gave me a second potential theory: Aristaeus and Lloyd were NOT the same person, but they were coworkers. Lloyd used Aristaeus’s project to create the ravagers after the apocalypse. This would explain why Lloyd had to trick the survivors, because the ravagers were not Lloyd’s, but they were Aristaeus’s machines.

These are just theories, I could be wrong, IDK what the devs intended for the actual lore to be. :sob:

If we knew what Aristaeus’ and Lloyd’s favorite colors were, and if they were the same, then the theory that they’re the same person might be plausible.

On an unrelated point, before he was captured, the Nomad leader was meeting with Lloyd about some secret mission. Now perhaps the Nomad leader was the half-brother of the Scavenger leader’s second cousin, once removed. This is not important, but what is important, is that Vicky (of the scrapyard) was one hot mama!

He’s the new leader of the ravagers, the AI… Aris.

His personality was the one uploaded into the hivemind that awoke when Lloyd was killed.

Now he’s trying to get the Oracle from the Syndicate.
