Jimmy Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Ouch, bad luck! I guess next time you'll have to lure him a bit closer to shore before shooting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotzn Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Haha - at first I thought the skin-coloured object in the foreground was the object of attention, the bear carcass appeared as a boulder to me. So I was utterly mystified which kind of animal has been hunted here. I looked really hard, but couldn't make it out. Only after about two minutes did I take a closer look at the 'boulder'... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite possible for items to lie on the ice beyond a patch of thin ice. Admittedly I'd expect a bloody great bear to go through the ice if the ice couldn't bear my weight.

I'm not sure anything is really broken, so I don't see anything here that needs to be "fixed" either... sure it can be frustrating when this kind of thing happens, but I've always took it as a lesson to be more careful about how, where, and when to take my shots so this kind of thing isn't likely to happen. I mentioned something similar before...

I just take it as an in-game life lesson to be more situationally aware and be careful of how, when, and where I take my shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbmurph22 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Seems like a tough fix but maybe the easiest solution would have the carcass disappear entirely if stumbles to it's final resting place on weak ice. At least that would remove the temptation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but if the bear did just "fall though the ice," then it would be gone anyway... so it seems that it wouldn't really matter. The result didn't change... and I think the solution is more careful hunting practices (as I mentioned in my previous post). and I think that player behavior doesn't need to be fixed by a developer... so I still don't think there is anything about this that needs fixing on Hinterland's end.

Hilayla Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I just tell myself the ice is to weak to support the bear and my character. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balthasar250 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 We need a rope and hook style anchor item to allow us to pull our prey back to us in these sorts of situations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the more critical component is choosing where we fight/hunt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't argue the point that a several hundred pound bear won't break through ice but I will? If we could say "realism", this would not be realistic and actually is a punishment for the hard work we do to hunt the bear in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avelyan Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I started a similar thread a couple of years ago, siting that the ice will hold a several hundred pound bear, but will crack under the weight of a man and equipment. The Devs responded saying that they were aware of the inconsistency and would look at potentially changing this particular game mechanic if it wouldn't be too problematic. The fact that it is still the same tells me that the change would be too great a pain for the reward. Unfortunately it looks like we will just have to live with the occasional out-of-reach kill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hochleistungsfaultier Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Just a little note: You can hunt bears in a lot of locations where there is no thin ice. This is frustrating which often is synonymous with The Long Dark... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jeffpeng Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Personally I get why people say this doesn't need fixing. But as every so often I disagree. Hunting a bear is risky business and potentially expensive. It's not like the occasional deer that got away, but THE bear you hunted this week. You roll that dice much less freqently, and rolling wrong has an even greater impact while betting much more on it (frankly: your life). This makes hunting bears in locations that have weak ice a very bad call in terms of game theory, and I personally think that a game should reward action over inaction.

I wouldn't really get upset if it was a deer (those are everywhere!) but hunting and killing a bear or moose is much more rewarding when successful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolan Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) It frustrates me that a bear which weighs generally anywhere from 180 lbs to 1300 lbs can walk on "weak" ice. A while back when I'd lose a deer in Coastal Highway because the fool thing would run into the ocean I mildly miffed, but it was ok. But this, its just as bad as the animals that run up sheer surfaces. Edited April 9, 2020 by Jolan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injured, he ran there, bled out and died. btw, I believe HL has fixed this now. Edited February 8 by hozz1235 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
