Aloy should never have gotten a second game. Her character exists solely to serve the plot of the first game by the end of which she finishes her arc in a cathartic way. She's antisocial and I've seen people claim she's gay but from what I've played she's asexual unless the player chooses to flirt with random characters regardless of their gender.
She's a 1-to-1 clone of her world's version of female Oppenheimer and therefore has a hard time relating with other characters much like highly gifted people do in real life. Aloy's life's purpose is to complete the work of her original copy/mother. After accomplishing that she goes to discover the world alone.
In the second game they hint at her lack of ability to make any real connections but it feels like the writers coward out in favor of the emerging plot and don't bring it up later despite the growing feeling in the player's mind that she kind of sucks.
