my opinion of tireless menace

[Tbone555]

are there even any words?

well for starters, i just want to thank hinterland so much for this update. i have been sick with some kinda flu for the past week, and as soon as i got home being able to play the new update made me feel SO much better. i swear, when i booted up the game my jaw dropped. i was first dropped in TWM in the middle of the night on stalker. i didnt even care about survivng at that point. i just wandered through the woods aimlessly looking at how perfectly the moonlight reflected off of everything. it was so gorgeous. eventually, now well past freezing, i found the mountaineers cabin and im currently still playing that character.
but anyway, thats not the point. i really really like how yall did the lighting for this update, so many pretty colors. i've always been in love with the art style of this game, but tireless menace, i focus less on survival and i just roam around gushing over the visuals xD

i'll admit, i much rather preferred the previous HUD system to the radial menu. but thats no big deal, i'm sure that with time i'll feel more comfortable with it. it was a very good addition and i cant even begin to describe how useful it is being able to craft some items on hand rather than having a workbench!

and boy do i love the emergency stim. so far thats the only new item i've found. i havent been playing it very much, because yknow, flu and all that. but the new emergency stim has saved my life (if only for a few extra hours ) many times in hunted.

and speaking of hunted, YES YES YES. the new challenge mode, thank you so much for finally adding it! i was SO excited for this addition, and its lived up to everything i wanted it to be. i knew it was coming eventually, i just had the feeling. im really looking forward to more challenges! please add hunted 2 sooooon, i want to kill the old bear so bad. he got under my skin the first 4 times he killed me -.-
oooooor maybe you can troll us, and make it turn out that the bearkiller rifle isnt in trappers cabin. maybe its back in the mountaineers hut in twm?
anyway, very excited for it.

im about to go play it now. last time i played my sandbox character, i decided to leave twm and accidentally left my sleeping bag behind. aaaand im exhausted and stuck in a basement, so im gonna have to move on at some point haha. but anyway, good job on the new update, and thank you for all your time and effort, hinterland. i, for one really appreciate it. at this point the long dark is the only thing taking my mind off of my sickness. if only i had some rose hip tea...

Agree with you on the visuals, very nice indeed, I especially like the new texture for ice surfaces, and the footprints left.  I even admired the old bear and the arrows stuck in his back while he did his best to remove my innards...

Not too keen on the new rest mode, dunno about most here, but I can nap just about anytime ( a talent honed in the back of many C-130 transports, and sqn lineshacks ).

Also not too thrilled with the introduction of stimulants (other than coffee) into the game.  Torches are also a point that I don't care for now, if we now have to craft them then the supply of kerosene or other liquid fuels should be increased.  Perhaps let us harvest fuel from the cars scattered about?  A suggestion I've made before.

I would still like to see renewable fuel alternative/replacement from rendering bear fat.  Since bear meat is less desirable due to parasites, let us turn it into fat for fuel.  Especially with the crafted torch requirements.

As the wings are laying about on TWM, we should be able to scavage a good bit of kerosene from them as well.

very good point. i've only crafted torches once in the new sandbox. maybe we oughtta be able to siphon small bits of gasoline out of cars for our torches. i've noticed that you are able to open and close the gas tanks on all of the cars. maybe it'd require a jerry can and some kind of tubing.

before this update, i just pulled torches out of fires. but im glad they did away with that, because thats not how life works. you cant just pull up a brand new torch from a fire made up with 2 small sticks
