I can't say no to that...
Well... Survivors are rare, much rarer than corpses. I don't much think so on that. I mean, do you expect seeing someone deep in a cave to even find you in time? The deeper you go, the less chance of that. So you on your own and what Accessor from Darkest Dungeon say "Watch your step." and "There can be no hope in this hell. No hope at all."
And really Ancestor is fitting in this game and his quotes.
True. It's just that we already have corpses outside of pods and survivors inside. Imagine if you got to see the other way around, like corpses within pods (which I think are hypothetically possible, just probably really rare) and survivors, perhaps bandits outside, since it'd make sense to see them outside since there are many corpses outside. But yeah, you brought up a big point.
