    Just as a thinking exercise, if you were a Dark One in the Metro universe, how would you view humans or interact with them? If you wanted peace with them, how would you go about it? Would you do anything different from the ones in the games, and would you try different strategies depending on whether Artyom launched the nukes in 2033?

    You know that some of your kind have been shot when trying to approach Metro dwellers. You do not understand weapons or tools, not even clothing. You have the power to make people see illusions and communicate telepathically but must be careful in case you drive them insane. You can see them through walls and can guess if they are hostile - usually they are, and turn invisible for short periods.

    If you succeeded in making peace with the humans, how would you try to develop a society and coexist with them?

    I would be wary of them, but also I would try to be friendly to them and find a middle ground for communication.

    We try our best to help them. We hope one day to make them see how much we can help them.

    I thought of some strategies...for example, talking to and playing with children when they are alone and being their 'imaginary' friend that adults would not believe.

    Deliberately showing off my power and scaring them a little by moving their belongings around while being undetected, and then being helpful by leaving them gifts of food so that they come to trust in something they can't understand etc...

    I would be more observant, picking my contacts carefully.

    I would pretty much make random appearance here and there only to non-hostiles and show them illusions, or “visions”, of what the Dark Ones’ race want. As for a different approach on stopping Artyom from launching a nuke and almost annihilating an entire race, I would have instead gone after Vladimir and Ulman, the ones operating the missile guidance system, as a ‘just in case plan’ if we failed from stopping Artyom from setting up the MGS.

    I'd kill Anna as soon as possible whilst she was trying to snipe me. This would work wonderfully for preservation of me and my race which is hibernating and for the game, as she was as useful as a chocolate teapot and her narration was like watching Steven Segal trying to act. i.e awful!

    Yes, so kill Anna and save the game and my race.

    Thanks

    you know, speaking of the dark ones..

    why are there hibernating ones in D6???
    where they the original crew of D6 who got transformed?
    or were infected ones who tried to flee the surface and got stuck in a cold environment and found by D6 crew (making them lock the zone and flee?)

    If i was a dark one i would treat humans the same as i do in my real human existence and experience,

    1. be careful approaching humans as not all humans are trust worthy and will take advantage of you if your not on your guard or if you show a weakness,

    2. humans like currency gain and this is there major flaw, so sometimes to gain trust with these creatures its easier to manipulate them by giving them lots of currency you will likely succeed in any information from there mouths with alot of currency given to them,

    3. human males other weakness apart from currency gain is the human female species, so maybe get the trust of a female human and get her to manipulate the male human for you to get the information you need, the outcome of this tactic varies but most males with high testosterone levels will not be able to resist an attractive sexually suggestive human female,

    4. remember that a peaceful solution is the outcome we want, but if this fails do not forget to use your powers on there fragile minds and crush them if it is necessary

    I don't really know.

    I should fear them since they are powerful with all their weapons and don't really like others. Humans are always tries to be at the top of the food chain, at all costs. I should be skeptical about them, just take a look at what they did with the nature and what they continuously doing with each other in the underground.

    In the other hand, people like Artyom should interest me. You can see if somebody is good in his soul, just take a look at his actions and reactions. He is the only one who doesn't want to shoot 300 bullet in my posterior instantly and don't use any kind of drugs to think about me as a friend. He is the one who can understand, not just the Dark Ones, but the other humans. Artyom is just simply a good guy, who can think before shoot.
