I was wondering if anyone knows how I can change my Display Name here in the forums. I’ve been away for a while but I’m getting back into the game. I’d prefer not to create a brand new account, but using this name isn’t going to work anymore.

I did that, my first excursion in. I started a new Pilgrim game in ML, looted enough to have decent supplies, and headed off to FM. I ended up dying from a "fall from great height" when I fell through the ice near the edge of the map and the game helpfully relocated me to the top of a cliff on the border without room to actually stand there...

Brave the Muskeg! I've been spending a lot of time there lately, and it's a wonderful place. Sure, you'll die lots of times, but eventually you start to get to know your way around.

My bear was just at the flat area at the top. It took some creative shimmying up the angles in the rocks to do it. But I didn't have bear quarters scattered everywhere to contend with.

I had a bear die up there too. It's possible, but not easy, as you've discovered.

If Hinterland adds deerskin doggie booties, I'm quitting the game.

Green, glowing eyes? Turns feral? I'm not sure why dogs wouldn't be affected like the wolves are. That could create an interesting dynamic and dilemma for the player.

What would happen to Doggo during the Aurora?

I had never heard of the Group of Seven, but I just looked up their art. You're spot on. I wonder if they were a direct influence on the game design.

Actually, I think player-made maps would be better, at least if there's the ability to create and customize locations. Knowing how many people on these forms think, I have a feeling there would be a lot of interesting and evocative places to explore. Procedurally-generated might be good too, but I'm afraid they would end up being repetitive — lots of the random trailers and cookie-cutter houses with predictable loot locations, fewer Trapper's Homesteads and Katie's Quiet Corners.

That's a nice shot, @HighwayBill. I'd ask where it was taken from, but instead maybe you would want to add it to the "Where in the World is Will?" thread?

Welcome to the forums then, @Biofobico, and have fun. And stay away from the aurora wolves.

Just the occasional mindless glowing aurora wolf, of course.

If they did, you could just sit on that porch and take pot shots at them all day.

That would be awesome!
