I am very excited to experience this update, it looks like it's going to be fantastic! I love the concept of the new map, and I love that Cougars is going to fundamentally change the way people play this game, and keep them a bit more on the move. However, I am not really sure how I feel of the cheat death system. I think this should be exclusive to custom game modes where you can decide to turn it on or off in the custom settings, as I don't think this really fits the standard game modes. I personally don't really want be given the opportunity to cheat death, as it somewhat goes ''against'' the philosophy of death in this game that I love so much. I just simply ''want'' to die when I die, and not be given the chance to have any second chances, (or three chances in this case) but that's just me though.

I think it is cool that if you do choose to cheat death you won't be able to do it without trade-offs, I find that to be very interesting. So I do think it is a neat idea for people that want this kind of system. If this ends up being a custom game only feature, then I am all for it. I think it could be a wonderful edition to custom games, seeing as you can already twist and turn the game to your liking, so it perfectly fits to give an option like cheat death to custom games. But I am overall interested to see how it will work, even though I think the permadeath system is one of the many aspects that makes this game so wonderful, and seeing that being fundamentally changed now is a bit hard to swallow for many people.

Higher resolution textures in general are something I'm hoping for with that promised graphical update. There are a lot of things that don't look good up close. Inside buildings too.

So do I. The graphical improvements we have gotten so far has mostly been tied with new content, instead of updating what is already in the game. I do like new improvements, though I wished they focused more on higher resolution textures as well. As of now, only a few things has been upgraded with better textures, like meat. I hope that we'll see a bit more upgraded textures within the last two updates of the DLC.

So, this is a little bit of a nitpicky, maybe even weird, thing to start a discussion about, but it is something I think could be worth to see changed in the game at one point. For quite a while now Hinterland has used an updated version of textures for rocks/mountains for new regions for quite a while now, which looks, for the most part, amazing! In fact, it looks so good that the old texture looks like they were photoshopped back in the 90's lol. It is especially telling in spots where you can see both versions, and the new texture is without a doubt the superior version. They looks so different that it kind of looks... ''ugly'' at these spots where they are blended together, which made me think a little bit.

A lot of regions still uses the old texture, which is somewhat of a shame. I think it would be really nice to think about maybe updating those regions with the new texture at some point, so that every region has more consistency. It is a small detail, and something probably most people don't even care about, or even notices, but I like to think about the small details in games. Are there anyone who share a similar opinion, or do you not care at all? Would be interested to hear.

Pretty much since the beggining of the games development you guys have talked about adding NPC's into the game, which sounds amazing by the way! The only thing that would scare the me more than a Wolf and a Bear, is seeing another ''living'' person in the Survival Mode. I was just wondering, how far you have come in the development with the NPC's? When you made the ''Survival Vignette'' videos on youtube back in 2013,  the Tent and the Cabin videos, it made me really excited to see what you guys were gonna do with them. I don't expect to get alot of information about this... but i'm just curious. Also, my mom wanted me to ask if you have thought about adding Wolverine's in to the game.

Anyways, love your game so much! It has become one of my favorites, i'm really excited to see what you guys will do in the future!  Best of Luck!
