Make Theodore be inside his house in the first act

[patent ether]

The first part after the intro will be the same but with Mr. Peterson being in his house
And when you get into the basement a cutscene plays where you find Aaron but Mr. Peterson comes behind you and gets Aaron before you, and then the police arrive cutscene plays.
Mr. Peterson takes Aaron forcefully and escape from the back basement door but he locks it
and then Quentin needs to escape the house you need to escape without getting spotted by the cops, as a tutorial to how to stealth
And then you go to the Museum where you find Mr. Peterson's car in front of the Museum
The shovel that triggers the nightmare 1 is standing near the car
Then rest of the game plays same

I think after the first house done, Peterson house is now inhabited by Nielsen and if you want to find more secrets inside the house (Add more secrets inside the house) you need to go against Nielsen

[sinful nest]

peak

[drifting panther]

P-p-p-peak!!

[inner schooner]

Agreed

[gloomy mesa]

I dont think this would work

[patent ether]

What part do you think wouldnt work

[inner schooner]

Wait Quentin picking up the museum newspaper

[drifting panther]

Getting hit in the barn would be pretty weird.

[inner schooner]

When is that gonna happen

[patent ether]

Well yea, i kinda forgor that

[inner schooner]

I like the suggestion though

[viscid moss]

Cool idea

[patent ether]

Anyway, Yea it need some work but overall they couldve make it work with changing some things

[inner schooner]

Maybe mr peterson knocks out Quentin in the basement

From behind

Or something

[patent ether]

That could work

But that would mean more headache for poor Quinton...

[inner schooner]

Well that as an replacement

To the barn hit in the head

lol

[patent ether]

Well i thought it as hit in the barn is gonna be the same
The change happens after Quentin wakes up in the banner and Mr. Peterson is there instead of Nielsen

[sinful nest]

what if we play as the missing journalist in this part..

[inner schooner]

No I mean it’s like the demo

Where he steps

Out of the barn

[viscid moss]

That would be awesomee

[inner schooner]

And goes to mr Peterson house

[patent ether]

I mean that could also work

[gloomy mesa]

why would his car be outside the museum

[inner schooner]

Where mr Peterson is with a shovel

Hunting Quentin

[patent ether]

Because he escaped to Museum with the car

[gloomy mesa]

hes not that dumb to park his car outside the museum

[drifting panther]

There could also be a cutscene where we see Mr. Peterson backing his car into the garage.

[gloomy mesa]

that'd work

[inner schooner]

Hm I always wondered how he managed to drive he’s car upside the museum hills

[patent ether]

Yea that would be cool

[viscid moss]

this suggestion is awesome but I don't think they're ever going to change HN2's intro

[gloomy mesa]

where would the barn play here

[drifting panther]

They have to.
The second half sucks so bad.

[gloomy mesa]

same

[drifting panther]

They did it with Nightmare 2.

[inner schooner]

Well they are likely gonna reanimate it though

[drifting panther]

Why not the second half of the intro?

[inner schooner]

I hope

[patent ether]

He just came into the museum, He will take the car inside yea, but first he needs to lock Aaron again so he doesnt escape

[drifting panther]

Anyway, I'm going to go eat now.
See you guys soon.

[viscid moss]

ok

[gloomy mesa]

what about the barn

[patent ether]

I said i thought this as a replacement for Nielsen part
The intro and barn will be the same, It's just gonna change things that happens after Quentin wakes up and goes to the Peterson House

[gloomy mesa]

he wakes up at his office at night and goes to Peterson house?

and then breaks into the basement and sees Aaron, but Peterson takes away Aaron with him and we hear police in the background

and then Nielsen arrives to the house and we have to get past him

[patent ether]

Yea

[gloomy mesa]

I like the idea, but I dont think they'll ever change the intro

[patent ether]

Eh, We suggest it and its up to them if they'll do it

We suggest ideas

[vivid scaffold]

the point of mr peterson NOT being there because hes running away from the cops

and rn the cops are at his house

so he cant

[deft ravine]

But this completely contradicts hnvr tho hn2's lore is messy enough as it is

[patent ether]

Ok

[deft ravine]

I like the way his house is rn

Replacing the cops doesnt seem like a good idea

[gloomy mesa]

why are you SO obsessed with this

live your life man

this is just a video game after all

whats bothering you if they connect or not

[deft ravine]

I want the games to have a consistent story

[gloomy mesa]

then just make your own headcanon

like, Aaron just got dragged deeper into the basement and then tried ot escape but Ted got him

instead of assuming hes dead

[deft ravine]

I just want the story of hn2 to make sense

[gloomy mesa]

first

it has to have some story to make sense

[deft ravine]

I dont really think he is dead but it makes no sense that he would just be with ted again

[gloomy mesa]

HN2 has very little story

dude

why are you super obsessed with this

[deft ravine]

Hnvr is the first hn game in a while to have a really good story

[gloomy mesa]

it doesnt matter if HNVR doesnt connect to HN2

yes, HNVR has an amazing story

so what?

[deft ravine]

I just want hn2 to expand upon the lore not just ignore entire sections of it

[gloomy mesa]

HN2 will expand on its own lore

not on some other games lore

[deft ravine]

What weve seen of hn2 currently aint that good

And I want there to be atleast some continuety

Like hn2's story is heavilly flawed

[gloomy mesa]

we have no idea on any of the story expansions they are working on

the current story is heavily flawed cuz of the terrible cliff hangar

[deft ravine]

First impresions arent that good

[gloomy mesa]

ok and

[deft ravine]

Quentin passes out or gets knocked out 5 times in the first chapter

[deft ravine]

And the fact Aaron doesnt even act like himself

[gloomy mesa]

you ranting about HN2 doesnt connect to HNVR every single day isnt gonna make them do that

[gloomy mesa]

what do you expect from him

he killed his own sister, got locked up by his own father for months, and then suddenly a stranger saves him

how do you expect him to react

hes just a poor kid

[patent ether]

Why the hell this same conversation that got discussed one million times is here in this thread

[deft ravine]

You mentioned Aaron (death sentance)

[patent ether]

I mentioned Aaron because he is a part of HN2

And i cant change that

[deft ravine]

anyway I dont really agree with your suggestion

the current setup ingame is better in my opinion

[lusty onyx]

PEAK

[split verge]

what would happen to Keith

[deft ravine]

he would become useless

I dont like this suggestion

I get where he is coming from but like

the current setup works

the only thing bad about it is the intro

which makes the timeline of events confusing

[deft ravine]

I mean theres an unused sound file that doesnt really work well with this

[inner schooner]

Reviving this

[surreal sable]

you mind if i take a few ideas from this (like peterson being in his house and all that)

[patent ether]

Sure

[surreal sable]

ok

[glad wolf]

Im not sure how Ted will be in the Peterson house in the first Act because I prefer Keith

[inner schooner]

I love the idea of going up against Theodore in his house again as a sort of second tutorial after the barn segment

[gloomy mesa]

theres no way this could work

maybe it could be a nightmare sequence, idk

[inner schooner]

Act 1 imo wouldn’t hurt from a soft rewrite

[gloomy mesa]

AS is already done, they cant rewrite that

[inner schooner]

Sad cause act 1 story is pretty meh

Imo

[deft ravine]

act 1 needs fixing regardless

the idea is decent

but the execution leaves a lot to desired

the monitors telling Quentin what to do for example

why not have him collect clues and evidence?

[proper fox]

Epic

[glad wolf]

Yeah this idea would work better as a nightmare sequence instead of replacing Keith, Peterson house looks better with the crime tape and Keith.

[gloomy mesa]

I think we sort of do this sometimes

like, in night 2, we collect a small replica of Taxidermist's house

indicating that we need to go there next

and in night 3, we see Mayor's photo in the museum

[deft ravine]

barely

the beta handled it way better

[gloomy mesa]

I agree
