yeah, me too. The community has bantered about this subject on more than one occassion since I authored this post almost three years ago. I think the consensus was that since it was basically recognition for a financial contribution which help to fund the continued development of the game that those cairns would just remain empty. I don't think there is ever going to be an movement to complete the project. I always thought it would be a great idea to get permission from those backers who did not write a message, to release their claim on their cairn so that Hinterland could hold a contest whereby the community could author messages in place of the those unwritten stories. might be a good mod project for the new User Generated Content program, what do you think?

are there episodes in the time capsule from before the ReDux? I know I haven't check, but I did play some of the old maps outta the time capsule and it was amazing to see how the game has progressed since the initial pre-release.

yeah, you are absolutely right! He did have the radio hidden down in the floor hatch before the ReDux. I guess it's just another left over that was just glossed over. I woulda liked to have been able to use it as a little storage area in survival mode.

yeah, me too. I mean you can still just drop stuff on the ground there, but from an immersive perspective I would prefer to see the bin outside the cabin

stocking up Jeremiah's larder

Hanging out with Jeremiah at his cabin when I notice this so what is this square object supposed to be? Is it one of those carpeted rubber mats you wipe your boots off one or was it meant to be the illustration artist's idea of what a floor hatch in the cabin should look like? The idea of having a floor hatch for storage makes sense, but why not make it look like a hatch, like the one in the mountaineer's hut, if that was the look they were going for. so what do you think this is, hatch or a piece of carpet?

yeah, it called "moveable container" and it works amazingly well. you can even move a container up to the size of a coal bin and it will reflect the weight of the object.

getting ready for christmas over at Jeremiah's place guess you gotta make do, when you don't have a mantle or any stockings what does a guy who just got mauled by a bear have for christmas dinner? looks like peaches and beans again this year!

your idea actually sounds like a good one. there really should be the possibility of death by falling off a dangerously swaying rope bridge. As it stands now, all you gotta do is point your cursor in the right direction and you can just waltz over the rope bridge without any fear what so ever. here's a clip of an actual rope bridge still in use. doesn't look high enough off the ground for the fall to kill you, but looks shakey AF

I think you are onto something indeed. Warhammer 40,000?: Space Marine, released in 2011 was Raph's baby. Not only was he the director but also the writer for that game. Then 2014 Hinterland was born. Coincidence? I think not! ohhh, the suspense is now killing me! The whole "event" is the prelude to an intergalactic invasion by menacing Space Orks! what a plot twist! Will better start sharpening up his hatchet and Bear Spear cause this battle is gonna be epic!

lol, so what do you know? tell us now!!!

thanks for letting us know. did they say anything about fixing it?

I think it's obvious, Methuselah is an alien observer who was sent to the planet to study how human beings handle extreme crisis. The "aliens" who are watching are doing this as a pre-first contact protocol to gauge our reaction to unknown phenomenon. If you recall Jace mentioned that she and her "Advisor" were working out of a nearby observatory and had some arcane knowledge regarding the "event." Although she never fully elaborated on what that knowledge was, she intimated that she knew what was responsible from their research at the observatory. What better way to accidently discover the presence of an alien spacecraft entering our solar system than using a deep space observatory equiped with a massive telescopic and a slew of other electronic instruments. Even with the subsequent power interruption, the telescope could still be used manually to observe the spacecraft. or, Jace is actually Methuselah and the alien's technology is so advanced that they can change their appearance using advanced shape shifting technology or a holographic cloaking device.

thanks for the heads up players. the next time I'm up in BlackRock in survival mode I'll see if I can duplicate the screen prompt. btw have either of you reported this as a glitch?

uhhh, I dont think those were Reishi mushrooms.... zoom zoom zoom goes the shroom shroom shroom

ah, the things that remind us of our childhood!

btw, @Kranium and @I_eat_only_wolf_meat story mode or survival when you found these vehicles?

thanks for pointing that out. as I looked back over the pic, i should have noticed the edge of the open hood was purple

looks like you are the Valiant Tailor, seven in one blow!

good one! There is that pillow and old bed roll right down on the floor in the corner looking pretty ratty. You get my upvote for that answer!

Apparantely the only heated seats in the game are for Prison vehicles... everything else still manual. I just hope the radio played some rock n' roll during an aurora!

you should let all your vegan friends know! you'd be the talk of the town!

Been a while since I've been to BI but this poor soul's story is yet to be written I can't imagine why he would seek refuge in this wrecked trailer on the middle of a bridge with a multitude of cars available for shelter. Not to mention that he either had to pass the cannery and all the shelter it provided, or he had to pass the cabins that housed the cannery works on the other end of the bridge. I'd speculate that he was one his way to one of those areas when either he was menaced by a pack of timberwolves or was caught in a sudden but fierce snowstorm. Either way this makeshift shelter became his final resting place. yes he was out of the wind, but still cold. very cold. I suspect he just wanted to close his eyes for a few moments but those mere minutes turned into an eternity. Rip my good man and thanks for letting me have your boots...
