Yay Raph and Devs!

Maybe I am missing something but do those wolf packs and big, hungry, tasty bear count as predators? Mmmmm bear burgers.....

Hello, Ingil and welcome! :) The Long Dark is different from other games, it is more of a self-directed experience. The best way to learn it to keep playing and ask questions here. May I suggest starting on the skill level "Pilgrim" at "Mystery Lake". That is a very good place to start. Enjoy! :)

Thank you for all of your hard work Raph and DEVs! :)

Welcome home, Walker! Sorry, I am not sure what went wrong with your achievements, maybe going back and earning them again could be fun? I remember I got my Deep Forest patch in the cave by the Deer Clearing on my first attempt to assault the peak in Timberwolf Mountain. As I progress though a new zone I set up camps with Bearskin bedrolls, tools, meds and a metric F-Tonne of food and firewood. It was a good thing too because a freak lizard pinned me down in that cave for THREE DAYS! Wow! I was starting to get worried if the game had weather-glitched when the storm finally relented. Kept that fire burning for three days! I remember how great it felt when I rode that monster storm out and got my badge! I hope you find what U R looking for too. :)

I agree, they have a very immersive feel to them.

Ash Canyon is the opposite of bad! Captain Raph-Tastic has a track record of taking as much time as it takes to get it right the first time. I keep checking back here regularly in hopes of finding info on new content so I get it. I also appreciate that the Hinterland Crue cares enough to give us the very best so I can happily wait till the time is right., If I had to wager a guess I'd say we are probably going to see something before the end of summer. We shall see.

I have gotten very good at bagging wolves with the revolver. Ammo is more plentiful for the revolver and even if I miss it scares Ole Fluffy off. I lave the rile home unless I am going for big game. Mostly I hunt rabbits with rocks and deer with the bow. Ammo is rare and precious, rocks are free and everywhere. Happy hunting!

I understand that stalking your kill can be challenging but I figured that it was just part of the game. I have lost a few but I have not had the kind of trouble you have had. Maybe there is something up with your settings or your installation. I hope you find a solution.

Congrats! I probably spent MOAR time and mileage chasing after that achievement than any other. What an amazing feeling it was to put that one in the bag. In my case it was a hotfix being pushed that got me the achievement; it was famously bugged.

I am also looking forward SO much to the next release. In the past Raph and DEVs have demonstrated that they are more interested in getting it right than 'on time' and I am so glad that they are. In the future I will not be interested in how long it took them to get the new releases pushed but I very much will care about the quality of the work. I understand, I am chomping at the bit as well but I am so grateful that they care enough to get it right the first time. Yay DEVs! :)

Deer carcasses will show up on the map if you chart the area with a piece or charcoal. Sometimes you can use that to find your kill.

Thank U!

Bears are great with tobasco!

Good dog!

Hooray! Congrats! Remember: the summit is the half-way point. Now you have go get all that l00T down! Well done.

Birb's bright orange typeface reminds me of the x-tra pretty Baltimore Orioles that sometimes visit us in the warm months. It makes me feel happy.

Hooray! Hooray! Hooray for Raph and DEVs! SOON I will conquer Blackrock prison, make it my kingdom and the inmates will make me their queen! Or maybe not! Thank you Raph and DEVs for once again taking all of the time you need to do it well the first time!

I'll second the Muskeg. I have some bad memories from THAT place...

Quack, duckwalker.

My imagination has formed a mental image of Perseverance Mills. "Mill" suggests that a river runs though it and "Perseverance" suggests that it is an outpost defiant against a hostile environment. For some reason I get the feeling that when Great Bear fell into the final stages of collapse, anyone who could, lit out for the last big town on the island in hopes that there would be safety in numbers. Maybe PM is where all of the survivors of Great Bear are holding up and our survivor will meet them in the next chapter. We know that there has to be someone there to receive Jeremiah's message and Astrid, being a doctor must be going to treat someone. My best guess is that when we wander into PM for the first time we will see a community of mostly abandoned buildings with the remaining population huddled together in the center of town, maybe. Maybe the locals will be willing to trade supplies for fish, meat or hides. EVERYONE needs firewood in the quiet apocalypse. I can't wait to see what Raph and DEVs have planned for us, it is going to be very!

"There is a difference between a place that is quiet and a place that has been abandoned..." Milton has the story of despair written all over it. There are signs everywhere of how things progressively got more and more desperate. Little things like cash being left laying around and some of the home already having been scavenged to the bare walls. The bank and the post office are cornerstones of any town and it is obvious that the last delivery and the last loan were in the rear view mirror while people still clung to hope that things would get better. The Church and the Orca Station were both converted to survival shelters. Know what happened at the school house.... I give a lot of credit to Raph and DEVs for telling a story of the past with what was left behind and I think your observations of the cloud of depression over Milton is credit to their hard work. My humble two cents.

Super impressive!

Holy hyper-spank, Batman! Amazing!

Muninn, my companion Raven laughs at your ravine! Laughs I tell you!
