It never gets old


Ive been playing/watching this game since it released on early access and its pretty much grown up alongside me! The game never gets old, the locations feel like a second home now...

a paceful place away from complex society

The quiet solitude 

[gispyer]

the pury loneliness,can feel the will to live ,by the way can the fatigue become a ability to practice? i know we can use the coffee or other food but its still reduces so quickly which  i almost just eat the coffee and Rose hip pie while i moving

if you do a custom run ,you can change the fatigue settings.  I do but to be honest it doesn't make a massive difference.

The immersion.

I focused on this game between mid-March and end of May, except for a few Red Dead Online events, and I think I even crossed the tiny border between immersion and (not on purpose) obsession. After finishing the Platinum one week ago, I still catch myself thinking about the 500 days run, how many cloth I need for the mending skill, the challenges to complete, while it's all done.

I also still can hear the blizzard when I'm sleeping - although I live in Tahiti where a snow wind is not really frequent, to say the least.

Also, the sound of the snow storms remind me of the storms we have in the Fall in southernmost Sweden.

Quiet, intense, serene and perfect. ❤️

For me it's the hunting.  For years I didn't know what my grandfather got out of it, now I see it.  It feels like the trip I never got to take with him.  Also I love the outdoors, this is the perfect escape for me.

That particular sense of dread when it's blizzarding or foggy out, and you can't see 10m ahead and you hear 'that sound':

"ARWUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuu..."

And then you see 6 timberwoofs barreling towards you. Sublime!

[Mroz4k]

Giving myself small missions to complete once I have established couple of outposts.

Or, just going on a hike in game because I have enough of everything and soak in the atmosphere.

I mostly play Voyageur/pilgrim like difficulty custom games with interloper weather.

The scenic views and solitude.

I feel at peace while playing the game and often use it as a tool to relax when my brain is constantly overthinking.

Total loot goblin here.  Everywhere must be scoured and everything must be returned to base(s).

Except for tinder plugs and cat tail heads.  They go in the nearest car boot.
