Discussion Loved the game but… Spoiler
Why did Jacob and Dani take their helmets off after the fall from the landing pad? After finishing the game and curing Dani’s infection that she easily could’ve prevented by wearing the helmet I’m just puzzled why? Why take it off???
Before going into reasons want to say this game is badass. It’s such a blast to play and I think it’s a great love letter to the genre. It’s not perfect by any means but it’s a fantastic game.
Back to the reasons of why take the helmet off.
The air is toxic?? Dani wears a rebreather in the opener. We see toxic damp atmosphere everywhere. I guess we have iron lungs.
Every monsters begs to engage in CQC with you, why not wear the helmet? This would also prevent face slugs from infecting.
You ride the mining platform with debris? The likelihood of taking a rock to the dome is high.
You are missing out on additional light sources??? Everywhere is dark so you want to get ride of extra light?????
Anyways yeah unless I missed some part of why they had to take the helmet off this was about as dumb as Carver giving the codex to Danic when he clearly had the right angle to neutralize him.

The helmet look like they are designed intentionally to showcase their face?
It just reads weird visually and in the context of the well written narrative and convincing world it seems forced.
