Almost anything would be better than the current system where people have to know how the system works before they can use clothing properly. You can see how much of an issue it is when you can put on additional clothing and then actually get colder.

Personally I would have windproof add up as you go in. So wearing 2WP and +3C on layer 1 would give you those stats, and then wearing another 2WP and +3C coat would give you 4WP to the internal +3C but then 2WP to the outer +3C because the inner layer doesn't protect the outer layer. It would be similar to real life that way, as in real life wearing a wind breaker on the inside layer is the least effective thing you can do as it won't provide wind protection to the clothing holding heat on the outside. I would explain more but this will never get implemented as it's way too complicated for hinterland to consider.

Yeah I noticed this as well last time I played.

You can cancel harvesting at any time with escape.

I would very much dislike having using a firebow limited. It would make it almost useless for me, in my experience.

I would enjoy having a non-match or lens way of starting fires. Something that is worse than those but also is something you can do with basic items that are easy to get anywhere.

Anorexic wildlife, really.

Autohotkey gets pretty close to this. Not having to click 91 times to harvest a bear is nice. I consider autohotkey almost essential to enjoy this game for myself.

The lighting in this game could use a complete overhaul. If it happens, I hope it's sometime before the story mode is finished as it would increase how much I enjoy the game.

I would be interested in seeing more options for aurora benefits and disadvantages.

which rules you are mentioning? 

Like what hills you can go up, what you can get inside of(rocks, hills, etc), falling through the ice, not being able to teleport, etc. Mostly movement rules I guess.

I would love it if animals had the same rules as the player.....but yeah, I am not going to get my hopes up for that.

They're never going to put stat differences between the two because they consider it a minefield that they don't want to deal with.

I turn off the comments so it makes very little difference to me. I've played both and I am fine with whoever, but if you're looking to max out your game Astrid's hand is slightly smaller which gives you a little better vision when throwing rocks at rabbits. At least I find it a little better.

Or some old radio shows. Listening to suspense or the jack benny show or drag net would be pretty nice

Our character has irreparable brain damage from the plane crash. Crippling memory problems are the least of our concern though. We also suffer from that disease which builds bone throughout your entire body, explaining why we cannot look around in a car and why we cannot lift our legs more than 2cm. It's a terrible disease to have, really. Like really. I feel awful for people who have it. I know we have other diseases in the game too, but I don't recall what they are. It has been a while since I played.

Possible yes, but if you look at the AI currently in the game and then imagine that being your pet.....well, I wouldn't want to use it. Getting that to a point where it's anything beyond frustrating would be a pretty big investment probably.

sexbox lol. I like that and I think I will use it. I always called the new xbox one "the bone" to distinguish it from the original xbox one.

My 2009 CPU is an i5 750.

I turn off fishing so I would like to have an alternative way to make lantern oil. This would be cool.

Actually I am on Xbox one but there isn't much on it as its a few weeks old! And I am on day 568 ! I do have a switch but not TlD on it! It really is slow loading!!!!!

 

I actually prefer the 360 to the one I've got! As for the switch its not as good as the D's!  But I suppose we have to move with the times!

 

The xbox one is actually terrible. It was slow and outdated as a gaming machine the day it was released. The CPUs on them were netbook cores that were originally designed to be in low power systems and not focused on performance. I am sure they were cheap to manufacture, relative to other options at the time.

The newer consoles, whatever they're called, are certainly much much better. Both MS and sony decided to put in some pretty decent hardware. They're comparable to a decent modern PC whereas the xbox one was slower than my CPU from 2009 despite the xbox releasing in 2013. I still use that 2009 CPU and load times in TLD aren't bad, even when loading off of a spinning hard drive.

I haven't tried the story yet since I am waiting for it to be completed before going through it, but this bear part keeps coming up. Maybe they should just remove it or something?....hopefully I won't find it frustrating when I finally give it a go if it exists still.

If you disable sleep Regen it essentially forces you to keep your hunger filled most of the time unless you take no damage. I still wish you could turn animal spawns way down though to like 10% of the current minimum or even less.

I really dislike QuickTime events myself. I mashed buttons enough playing Megaman as a kid, I don't need to damage myself playing TLD. 

I have no ideas other than what I've said. I am just glad I can disable sprains.

They have communicated that it's not finished yet and released it in 2017. Wikipedia says: "It was officially released on all aforementioned platforms on August 1, 2017[...]" Source

And when you check the Steam page of The Long Dark there is no note that this game is in alpha/early access/whatever like Steam always do. So it's fully released. I think the fact that it isn't full price (only 25€ in my region), is because the game is not complete now.

I still consider it early access, regardless of what hinterland says. Unfinished means early access to me. I looked up the definition of early access on Steam...

What is Early Access?Steam Early Access enables you to sell your game on Steam while it is still being developed, and provide context to customers that a product should be considered "unfinished." Early Access is a place for games that are in a playable alpha or beta state, are worth the current value of the playable build, and that you plan to continue to develop for release.

Sounds like TLD to me.

@Karl Grylls They haven't finished making the game? What do you consider early access if not being able to buy the game before it's finished?

For the crosshair my only suggestion would be to put a little sticky note piece on your screen. Some monitors have a crosshair you can enable as well.

Other than that I don't think there is anything you can do unless the devs implement a crosshair selection like in UT2004, or allow you to spray paint the backs of your arrows.
