Found this guy while venturing thru the Muskeg. He was sitting propped up against this tree with no sign of foul play. His revolver was loaded with three rounds only the remaining cylinders empty in his gun. A box of cartridges lay next to it unopened. As I turned out his pockets, I found a can of Stacy's grape soda and a dented can of sardines. Hard to say what the cause of death was, as there were no marks on his body. I'd venture to guess that perhaps he had fallen thru the thin muskeg ice and after making his way to the safety of this ridge was able to make a fire. It looks to me like he musta have dozed off as he was sitting there, no doubt hypothermia had set in and in his state of stupor he fell asleep as he was warming by the fire. It musta been a particularly deep sleep, the kind where you're so tired you don't realize the fire has gone out and your slowly freezing to death. I think he died in his sleep counting sheep...

Tower, this is Freedom Flight One Ready for takeoff...

There you go! The Yays have it! Motion approved! The players have spoken! Make it so dev team!

Well, maybe if more people asked for it then maybe they might just make it happen? So, is that a yay or nay on your part?

ptarmigan, tonight we feast!

I'll get to sewing...

My cozy fishing shack fishing is always better with beer! Nothing like an aurora to make the fish bite!

I don't know how many times a deer has suddenly switched back while running away and then turn and run straight towards me and then right thru me without any consequences. It got me to thinking that we should be experiencing some kinda damage as a result of that collision. I suppose some bruises and some torn clothing would be in order, and maybe a little animation where the player gets knocked to the ground. I'd like to see differing levels of damage between say a stag with its antlers perhaps goring the player causing some bleeding damage and needing both bandages and antiseptics to stave off infection, as compared to a doe merely bowling a player over. Please?

Welcome to my cozy fishing shack Fish on! Tomato soup to warm up these cold hands Hot peaches for breakfast Morning on Mystery lake gotta keep the fires stoked Where did all these bunnies come from? What the crows see when they fly by What the crows would see if they had xray vision You can hear the call of the wolves in the distance Time to hang some fish This is one productive fishing hut! Making fish soup The morning aurora is just stunning to behold Looks inviting doesn't it? Nice to have a some hooks to hang up some stuff These new lures are nothing short of being fantastic this is what happens when you hang out with the wrong crowd Dinner fit for a King! Time for some veggie stew Fresh fish served on a cedar plank cutting board My catch all table of gear Look who's coming to dinner weapons at the ready Didn't go well for one of the attackers Playing with mods just makes this game so much better. Gotta love mods like Diy Furniture and Place Anywhere.

In my regular survival run I was just up there on the summit and no flare gun so yeah, it is quite surprising that you'd actually find one while doing the challenge! Were you surprised to find it there or did you go there fully expecting to find it? Oh and btw, most excellent time for making the trip! That in itself has got to be a new record!

lol, You would not believe how immersive game play is when you are really cold! When it's windy you know it!

Thanks, Manic, If there's anyone I trust to give me an accurate answer it's you!

Both!

I was merely using those items as an example. and yes, I am one tough dude. I mostly just play naked...

Been playing the game for a long time now and just recently got to thinking about whether or not the various clothing slots have any impact on my characters stats other than the way I look when I wear them? For example, I have two coats, one is a windbreaker and the other is a mackinaw jacket. Does it really matter which one is worn on the inner slot vs the outer slot? I always thought that it didn't matter but lately I've started to wonder if perhaps there is some subtle difference that I've overlooked? I dunno, am I just overthinking this or does slot selection really make a difference?

lol, woulda been there sooner if I didn't need to sleep...

Yeah, I'd have to agree that the new loot tables are the culprit behind these anomalies. I guess they just didn't take in to consideration the effect on the challenges when they implemented these changes in the survival part of the game. As to looking what else is wonky, like your idea of finding a rifle in the Hunted challenge seems like a novel idea and I'd like to know how it all turns out if you decide to do it! Should be interesting!

Decided to replay some of the challenges. Spawned into Trappers and immediately found a distress pistol... New personal best record ever!

First time this ever happened to me. Playing stalker, I'm heading up the hill towards the fire watch tower in ML carrying the bounty of my recent kill so my smell-o-meter was off the scale and as I'm getting towards the top of the stairs, the vista prompt flashed on my screen reminding me to sketch the location on my map. I get the charcoal out and as I begin sketching all of a sudden a wolf attacks me. Right there on top of the stairs. I'm momentarily stunned as I thought it was impossible for wolves to walk up the stairs, let alone all the switch backs leading upstairs! We struggle back and forth and I'm totally stabbing the beast, but not before he chomps me pretty good. I quickly retreat into the bunkroom and close the door. After patching myself up, I venture back outside on the deck to finish my sketch which had been previously interrupted to find the wolf dead down on the next landing! Definitely the weirdest thing I've experienced yet in this game. So is this wolf behavior a new thing, cause it's pretty scary awesome if the wolf AI can stalk you like this!

Improvised gun rack

Impressive, most impressive but your true powers are still developing!

A grim reminder that life was tough on the island well before the event...

Came across this unfortunate soul. His mourning was so great that he lost his will to live. In his despair he slumped off the bench and into the cool embrace of the snow that surrounded him. With only his thoughts to torment him, he quietly slipped into the long dark. I took the opportunity to say a few words and then I turned out his pockets. He had nothing...

Fabricating

Retrieving the ballistic vest from BlackRock Prison Looks like the vest wasn't enough to save the life of this inmate. Seems at least one of the guards was the better shot...
