Nalliah Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 So just saying hello and how much I am loving TLD. I am not much of a gamer and so have quite the learning curve in general for gaming, and so then for TLD. I started in Story Mode-- was not aware the survival mode was a sandbox mode. It sounded hard. So I avoided it--until reading about the game realized it WAS the sandbox mode and went to try it out as I was struggling with the story mode. And I have never looked back. I am slowly but surely getting better about finding my way in the landscape, understanding about figuring out a survival strategy, as well as silly ways my char has died--walking into a fire! or plunging off a cliff-- silly because they are operator error (me). I am bored of looting--though its necessary. I like fishing for some reason! and figuring out the snaring and harvesting of rabbits, crafting the rabbit fur and mitts. I need to figure out bow hunting and the rifle soon. Just for fun, I had my char living awhile atop the Forestry Outlook in Mystery Lake. The views are so amazing! It was worth the struggle, but in the end, too hard to keep it up. My favourite spots so far: obviously the Forestry Outlook in Mystery Lake, the fishing cabins in Coastal Highway, Hermit's Cabin in Mountain Town/Milton. My favourite map so far is Coastal Highway. I have dabbled in Pleasant Valley and in Bleak Inlet, but not ready for those yet. Still just wandering about in Pilgrim mode, figuring it all out one step at a time, and enjoying each step of the way. The game is beautiful--the graphics are stunning. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteloud Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 It's good to hear you are enjoying it so much. I think it is the best game I have every played, in spite of its poor graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeanda Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Welcome to a lush paradise! I'm on pilgrim at the moment cos I got fed up of being mauled by the bears especially in coastal!the scenery is awesome especially during the aurora and the music is outstanding if not sometimes eerie! Enjoy the experience! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoodrowWolff Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Welcome to this community. Mine too, I prefer to play mostly two games, one is this one and another one is Pokemon: Fire Red Version, which I play on RetroArch GBA Emulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffyComeHome Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Welcome. Glad to hear you are enjoying TLD so much. I remember my first run. So exciting with no real idea of what to expect! Then again, the more I learned, the longer I was able to enjoy each run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grignard_TN Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Welcome. Currently I'm not playing TLD ( right now im all about Phoenix Point and various 4x games) but I invariably come back. Even after all these years there are things I haven't achieved or new experiences. I feel a TLD session coming on as I have yet to visit ash canyon or complete story mode. As neat as the game is, the best part of the experience for me is the character of the developers and the quality of the community here. Where other game communities are often lousy with toxicity, these forums are well moderated and there are rarely arguments, at least few that are not in a good faith effort to improve the game or community. There are several game developers who I like, but for some reason the people at Hinterland strike me as people of great character. They seem decent to their employees too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalliah Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 Thanks all for the replies and information. I have just made my first successful transition from one map to another--hooray. From Coastal Highway to Pleasant Valley. Totally a newb achievement, but still really pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalliah Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 Well, Pleasant Valley... wasn't. The constant blizzards made the game play a bit dull and I could never get the rabbit groves to actually put rabbits into my snares...so I am back in Coastal Highway. Home sweet home... to see what my next moves will be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although sometimes, the game as is provides a bit of serenity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
