Why Do the Orokin Have a Long Arm (And Blue Skin?)

Talking about the Orokin's appearance.

They basically change their body so they would not ressemble the normal people because Orokons think of themself as Gods basically

You can say Albrecht still think of himself as a normal person and that's why he didnt do body modification like the others

He’s not saying that they engineer their bodies specifically to represent something. He’s using metaphor to make their actions in sending the occupants of the Zariman on their voyage sound like an act of generosity rather than the experiment to see whether they would survive & what the long term effects would be before any orokin were to be risked in the endeavour.

Again, it’s not literal. It’s self-agrandisement.

Duviri people, who are based of orokin also have the long right arms. What's interesting about that is the fact that all of the children you meet are missing their right arms. Even Dominus, who has a prosthetic one. This seems to imply that Orokin would have their arms hacked off at an early age to presumably the modify and graft on at a later age as a sort of rite of passage.

If I was THAT rich. I would want to be blue with a long arm, too

How dord otokin turn to ancients (also when I started playing in 2015 I thougt that the ANCIENTS are the orokin xD)

Albrecht Entrati doesnt have a long arm because he did not use the technique other orokin did to gain immortality. Albrecht is still in his original human body, and is very obviously aging, whereas most orokin used a power to transfer their minds to new bodies, which are the bluish longarmed orokin we see.

its the fugliest design decision. Imagine the only thing youre remembered for is your abnormally long right and specifically right arm. But somehow it just fits to the rest of the game.

I'm only just noticing that they just have 1 long arm...
I've played this game for 5 years 😭.
