SPOILER Caravan Driver Theory! (connection To Fruma?)

Caravan Driver Theory

​

Disclaimer: I did not kill/hurt any animals in the process, remember do not hurt animals kids!

Who is the Caravan Driver?
Well, your Usual answer will be "he is a TOTALLY normal Caravan Driver" but I with my smart brain found the truth of who he is.


What is the true identity of the Caravan Driver?
First, let me explain a little bit of why did I suspect him in the first place? I was doing the tutorial as any normal human being will do, when I was reading the dialogue were we get to the bridge, Alder said that he didn't remember anything and Tasim also confirm that he is right in this image:

Spoiler: Forgetting their old memories

There is also the secret library on Llevigar that confirm it too.

Well, you might think that what all of this has to do with the Caravan Driver? I will answer your question with another question (Very smart if you ask me) Do you remember when we hit the boulder? yes, the start of the tutorial, you can see that the Caravan Driver hit something in this image:

Spoiler: Hitting the boulder

After this, the Caravan Driver tells you that he always hit the same boulder everytime he comes in this image:

Spoiler: Hitting the boulder everytime

He also mentioned that he has a pile of wasted wheels stacking up, here is an image:

Spoiler: A pile of wasted wheels

I DIDN'T HURT THE CHICKEN!

Clues!
When the Caravan Driver says "I swear I hit this same dang boulder everytime I make this trip" you will notice something very weird, why will Fruma send someone as idiotic as him? hitting the same boulder everytime only idiot will do that, well you may argue that he didn't tell Fruma so he didn't get fired but we can see that hitting the same boulder everytime won't get him anything, he will only have more trouble trying to fix the caravan or that what we thought.


Revealing the truth!
So, why will the Caravan Driver hit the boulder everytime? the answer is simple with my smart brain, but before that, do you remember where did the Caravan Driver hit the boulder? yes, it's near the border, you can see in this image that Aledar says to walk all the way to Ragni when they were behind the border:

Spoiler: Walking all the way to Ragni

here is an image of the border:

Spoiler: Border

I don't like Aledar :( he's rude to me.

This means that the Caravan Driver won't need to cross the border with them! this only means one thing, it's that he kept hitting the boulder because getting out of Fruma will cause him to lose his memory DAN! DAAN! DAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!! Does this mean that the Caravan Driver knows about erasing memories!? Yes! But why? because he was tasked from Fruma to let only soldiers out with the solution being; hitting the boulder everytime he comes close to the border, it's simple yet a very smart solution.

The secret has been revealed! [True]
Caravan Driver has a very deep connection with Fruma


Other theories i'm planning to do:

Spoiler: Old Man True Identity

As you can see from this image, the Old Man was supposed to be only on the HERO beta but it seems they didn't want to change it to keep the Old Man true identity a secret. Why? bceau- (Continue in the next episode)

Also, i got a legendary bow from killing a zombie in the tutorial :D

Spoiler: Legendary Bow

I hope this thread was funny to read :)

Edit: Yes, I edited my thread title to make it a clickbait.

Spoiler: Edit: Some information i forget to mention (serious)

I forget to mention about the guards and the talking mushroom

Guards:
The guards can be found on Fruma gate on the ocean, it's a little bit weird to see people from Fruma outside (even if they are guards), seeing they are loyal to Fruma i don't think that the magic has affected them.

The Talking Mushroom:
When you get close to the gate of Fruma near the ocean, you'll get a dialogue from The Talking Mushroom saying that he's a wanted criminal back on Fruma, this means that he manage to get inside and outside without losing memories.

Note: This does mean that there was another option for the Caravan Driver which is to make him immune to the magic just like the guards, but seeing that The Talking Mushroom managed to get inside and out (even though he's a criminal) is really strange.

Spoiler: TL;DR

The caravan driver always hit the rock near the border of Fruma and Wynn because he knows that if he gets out of the border he will forget his memories. There is also the question of why the guards near the second gate on the ocean didn't forget their memories, but you can say that they have some sort of protection. if the caravan driver has this protection the other reason he might don't want to get out is that he will get questioned by a lot of people (the soldiers too) and might get caught by some sort of evil organization (WynnExvation) which will lead to revealing the secret of the magic that Fruma has and what kind of place it is.

Unconforming my theory... (28/5/19)
1) There is a certain flaw in one of the dialogues that I explained.
It's this one: Tasim: "Does this mean we have to walk all the way to Ragni from here?" Aledar: "It's not that far, it's just a straight path from here."
When I explained it to be "Aledar says to walk all the way to Ragni when they were behind the border" because of Tasim dialogue saying "walk all the way to Ragni", but it was wrong.
The right explaining will be: Aledar says that "it's just a straight path from here" which is "from the carriage" since he said it near the carriage and the straight path means it's only to the border not to Ragni castle.
You could also say that by saying "walk all the way to Ragni" he might mean the Border because after this is Ragni outskirts which is a part of Ragni.

2) There are simpler ways to do it than the one that I mentioned.
There is no need to get stuck every time you send out soldiers. You can just make it that when getting to the border the carriage stops and says to the soldiers to continue their way.
Which is actually what happens, it's just that the Caravan Driver accidentally hit the rocks multiple times.

 

Funny?

This is a serious theory.

 

what if the caravan driver is the queen of fruma

 

At first, I was thinking of making a funny theory (a new way of getting likes) but when I was collecting some information here and there, I started to think of it as a serious thread too. That's why I put the "This might be true..." option.

Maybe, but i don't think that's true because a "Queen" won't be charged of something so simple (sending soldiers), but I'm sure (not really) that the Caravan Driver has a deep connection with the higher up of Fruma.

 

nah bro u right im the queen

 

no
Edit: Okay, you are

 

yes i am

 

What if the caravan driver is fruma?

 

No, it's not possible because the Caravan Driver is my wif- nevermind it's true.

 

First long lore theory thread I read in its entirety
Not only is it comical
It works
+1

 

I would hate to like make a joke Not funny, but I'm pretty sure he hits the bolder because of the memory magic.

 

What do you mean by "Memory Magic"?

 

The border?

 

He didn't cross the border, you can see in this image that the border of Fruma is after they hit the boulder:

Spoiler: Border

I don't like Aledar :( he's rude to me.

If you didn't understand me, you can play the tutorial again and you'll understand what i mean.

 

You realize the player can remember the crash right? If our memories disappeared all at once and at that exact spot we wouldn't have even rememered being in a crash.

There for you can assume its something that slowly takes our memories as we get closer, not a instant loss of memories as soon as we cross.

Even if it is instant the spot wouldnt be that wall, it would be the bolder, as again the player remembers the crash.

 

Where in the game is this mentioned?

 

First, the player doesn't remember the crash, i think you mixed it with the "[1/1] Aledar: The old man said something about a bridge being broken. Let's check it out."

Second, We only have one clue of if it was an instant or slowly losing memories and it's when they say "[2/6] Tasim: Yeah, there's no way we'll get across here, unless one of you happened to be a bridge repairman back in Fruma. [3/6] Aledar: Come to think of it, I don't remember, I know this sounds crazy, but I honestly can't remember anything I did back home" we can understand from this text three things

One: They lose only specifc meomeries (Tasim remember that there was a job back in Fruma)
Two: There are no side effects from losing memories (There was no signs of side effects, they all were talking normally and we didn't have any trouble fighting the corrupt)
Three: It's instant not slowly (They didn't lose one meomery than lose another memory, they lose all the specific memories in instant)​

Now your point is that they lose their memories slowly after they cross the boulder, well i don't agree with this statement because of two reasons

One: If crossing the boulder make you lose your memories and that also effects the Caravan Driver then that means that the Caravan Driver have lost his meomeries (even if it was only a little) and just like i said in number Two there are no sideeffects meaning that there wasn't a good reason for him to keep hitting the boulder everytime.
Second: He didn't remember the crash, he remembered that there was a repairman job back in Fruma meaning that they only lose specifc details and that they lose their memories an instant because if it was slowly they will at least remember the crash scene.​

Another point is that why will the boulder which is literally a stone will be the barrier to lose your memories? wouldn't it make sense that if you cross a gate that marks the border between Fruma and Wynn you will lose your memories instead of crossing a boulder?

In the end, we don't have any strong clues to know if it was instant or slowly losing memories. It's just a theory so i might be totally wrong, but just like i said in my thread "I hope this thread was funny to read :)"

 

The whole point of the losing memories thing is to explain your classes lack of combat skills and lack narrative back story.

Its a plot device to allow you to put you, the player, in your classes shoes. every thing you remember, so does it.

So yes, we do remember the crash. That's kinda the point.

 

Ummm.... excuse me?
I mean we IRL know a lot of things that the player don't know and it happens that one of these things is the crash (Also the future of literally everything :/ )
I don't think we did lose our combat skills, we learn more about combat because just like i said we did not lose every information about Fruma we lost the most important ones, we might even remember our families, that was confirmed by Llevigar library "although initial reports show that they seem to know very little about their own origin".

This thread is just a theory :)
Edit: Oh yeah, I appreciate your argument :) (I don't mean it in any sarcasm way, i really appreciate it)
