Great video! It really is a beautiful piece of music and very apt for the area! And for all that death😄

Thanks a lot! Yeah I love the dramatic music, tried syncing it with the scenes I'm tinkering with the post see if I can manage to embed the youtube video, as I've seen it can be done, but I can't manage to pull it out.

Edit: I was going through all the options: code, link, and it turned out you just have to paste the url and the forum will embed it by itself lol!

So I made this video from my first visit to BI in my faithful cartographer run, where I ended up living for almost 3 in game months. I put it together and tried to sync it with my favorite track from the game's OST.  It won't let me upload, but finally managed to embed it

I actually was writing stuff, like to do list or whatnot, but I'd always forget to check them.

My Astrid is stationed in mystery lake on the lake. Wanna join me for some wolf steaks on the lookout this evening? I'm inviting some frnds over, should be a lot of fun. One of them is a scientist. I'll pop in Interstellar if there's aurora and we get electricity!

Ps- steaks are a bit mouldy, but I have some tuna, it's new. Grab some Stacy's on the way, I only have water.

Hahaha!! sorry but as you can see I'm on a mountain trip right now, lil busy taking pictures and stuff, but will gladly join you when I get back. It sounds like an awesome plan!

Edit: Thanks!! I only wish the moon was on the other side though I will have to keep trying!

Very nice shots those you uploaded!

I managed to stitch together a 3 screenshot panorama of the summit during the aurora. Not super happy with the edit, but I like the framing quite a lot.

Not a lot to go on with, @Jens! Must include more cues. Looks like perfect weather to go hunting bears though!

I just realized! I forgot which region I left off in! It's been so long! Don't even remember what my next plan of action was! I am lost. Have I faded into eternal dark? The memories, so fragile.

Haha, you are right! The bear had died before the fog set in by the way

I know the feeling, in my current runs, even if I'm lazy, I try to write as much as I can in my diary... my memory isn't very strong to be honest.

well then my first guess was right. It's CH, you look from the burned huts straight to Misanthrope's Homestead. I think that's the name in the english version

That's correct, it's CH, close to the waterfront cottages I think they are called?, the last cabins before Crumbling Highway, but I think the island in front is indeed Misanthrope's Homes. Here is the bear cookingtead.

Desolation Point, the small island where the bunnies are. You can see the pole of the Riken

Pretty close, but nope, not sure where you saw the RIken   Let's  see if this other shot helps,   the weather can make it confusing. But I love those foggy sunsets.

@Karl Grylls 

1. You're on the right track! It's a riddle. Who? The answer is a name.
2. Again, on the right track! The answer is two regions.
3. Nope. This is a trickier one because out of bounds some regions are similar.

@Jens Nice shot but nope, try the other one!

I happened to be in the area and when crossing the cave I remember your post so I was looking up to see if I saw something similar. I'll keep it in mind and try to figure it out.

This one is pretty easy, but anyone knows where it is?

Sorry must of missed the bunny! Old age affecting my eyesight!  All those arrows used !good job you're going to get some feathers!

Have you tried shooting at the crows? I do and even though it doesn't kill them I always get more feathers!!that's a good way to practice on a moving target!!😄

Honestly, I'm not sure I ever tried, probabaly when I first started playing. Does shooting at them give you more feathers???

Jesus, nice shot!! I one shot killed a bear the other day and I actually had to see if I was dreaming as I didn't know that was possible lol  

Thanks! I actually one shoted another one (from a safer distance) a few days later in TWM in that stalker run.

And a a couple days back, on my 500 day voyageur run I managed to get a oneshot kill on a moose with the bow after missing the first shot.

Id say it's the transition cave between BI-FM

All that yummy food! Hope you have some sauce or gravy to go with it! What no bunnies?

Yep, quite some meat right there! If you notice at the end of the second video, there is a rabbit carcass plus a frozen corpse. Only a moose carcass missing there.

I think you should make another post, not on screenshots per say, where you showcase all these beautiful panoramic aurora shots.  I think it would be make a good coffee table book!

Thanks a lot! maybe when I have enough I can make some kind of compilation post

I'm actually creating different content off the game. This is probably not the right place to share it, but I kind of did a "dynamic wallpaper", or something I could see as an alternate menu to the game. Shame I didn't turn the hud off, I wasn't planing on it, but it was such a beautiful sunset, I had to just sat there in a branch and watch. I added the music from episode 2, the theme "the lion's roar" which I love so much.

I leave a link to youtube since I know some people have trouble loading the vids.

Looks beautiful! The colors are fantastic! Everytime I hear bleak inlet, memories from pensive lookout pop into my head. Such a great spot to cook something in the evening. I'd gather a huge bunch of firewood and cook my kill one piece at a time, enjoying the evening blizzard. The tranquility when you are inside and the muffled wind battering the lookout is out of this world cozy!!

Thanks!  I like how that map looks with the aurora,  I loved going out of my cave just to watch it at night. Now that you mention it, even if I spent a month and a half living in BI, I never stayed long in the upper part of the region, where the lookout is, which is a shame cause I remember liking the lookout when I briefly visited.

I just remember I dropped some loot there, so now I have an excuse to go back!

That was hilarious!! Just wondered where exactly on the hunny was it!!! Did you finally cook it for dinner?

Hahaha, no , I let him go, I think the poor thing deserved it after being a guinea pig for my experiment

Bleak Inlet stitched Pano

Rabbits don't seem to have a bleeding mechanic. As far as I know, they are always one shot killed. So it kind of makes sense that they don't bleed out. Are they immune to Flare Gun though?

Cool! You answered one of my questions for me! How many shots with a revolver!!!? ? Did you get fed up of having lovely ribs! Or did you simply have no arrows left? 

Thanks!

My favorite weapon is, no doubt, the bow. Although I usually go with the rifle for big game. To give some context, this is on day 492 voyageur run, I feel kind of OP, and while I want to get to 500, I'm kind of bored, so putting myself on risk and trying silly stuff. (although you can see I have the distress pistol at hand just in case).  I've already accomplished killing moose with every weapon (except stone, of course). I still have the 50 arrows I crafted, I have been able to recover every single one of them

I've got another funny video, where I discovered bunnies are immune to distress pistol, I will upload soon

Don't recommend attempting this without a flare gun at hand. There were 13 shots, I might have missed one or two. I didn't know this when I tried, but according to the wikia "Moose hunting with a revolver is dangerous with the weapons low stopping power and range. (e.g. 8 Headshots, or Chest: 14, Hind: 16, Foot: 16 on Voyageur)".

I did this in a voyageur run where I've gotten faithful cartographer and I'm on day 492.

Haha, more like lakeworld I would say. Here is a view of Milton Basin from the Picnic Area.
