enewmen Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) It seems to me there should be some Inuits or people living content without off the grid without guns, gas, and electricity - but still feel the effects of the extreme cold (even for winter) and the unusual wildlife behavior. I think of Inuit when I think of (very) remote Canada. Are the forest talkers Inuits? Maybe not if the hunting lodge is the headquarters. Maybe native Inuits should be much farther north in Canada and not found in Great Bear. While most people that depend on guns/gas/electric are suffering, people that already adapted (like the trapper, but more-so) to that life-style may be able to offer a lot of help and advice. Just thinking some of characters that can be added to the story. There is still time for Episode 4 & 5. I hope the big-tough trapper expects trouble at the hydro dam and saves Mackenzie at the end of episode 2. The trapper gets mauled by bears and survives,and handling a convict should be nothing for him. Anyway, just thinking. BTW, unrelated, I found my first moose carcass in Hushed River Valley. This is after clearing out all maps 2 times and currently checking all maps after episode 3 came out (all on Stalker). A rare find with a moose hide and 35kg of meat!

SpanishMoss Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 How do you know there aren't any already? Lurking in the shadowy corners of the map, and avoiding contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratvox Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Wrong part of the world for Innu (N.B - Innu are the people, Inuit is the language). This game is more-or-less set around the Haida Gwaii, not the Arctic Archipelago. The First Nation that lives in that part of BC are the Haida. Easy way to think about this, actually... where the Innu live is far too far north for trees to be able to exist at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a little surprised there is very little discussion in this area or people living comfortably off the grid in winter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haida_people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverhour Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I didn't even know 'Moose Carcass' was a thing! Now I have something else to keep an eye out for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicManiac Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) I always kind of imagined the "Forest Talkers" to just be a group of well intentioned (if not a bit misguided) granola hipster/neo-hippy type "eco activists"... Especially after listening to the injured one that was hole-up at the Lake Cabins. Edited February 17, 2020 by ManicManiac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's exactly what they were, but it seems their experience of being exploited by the mainland and left for dead after the Collapse seems to have strengthened their resolve and radicalized them into something a little more dangerous. As for the main topic, I think Astrid seems to be at least partially related to the natives? I may be jumping to conclusions though. Or maybe they're use is being avoided to prevent representing them incorrectly or being accused of profiting off of their culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with the mission (whatever that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
