I really do want to like this game! But some of both the writing and gameplay decisions are so AAAAAARGH.
My spouse just finished The Eye of the Earth and... it would've been so easy to show Aloy at least trying to work within the bounds of the Utaru culture?
Like. Show the debate between the Chorus members. Some are on Aloy's side and some are not. Have her show respect for their culture. Or heck - have flashpoints! Fist lets you smack talk the religion, heart lets you work within the bounds of it, and brain lets you look for loopholes. With the leaders responding to the choice.
I am very frustrated with the writers re: Aloy's personality generally. Like it could be a great setup for "desperate people do desperate things against their morality, which later haunt them as they try to make amends" payoff but I doubt they're going for that.
