Decreasing animal bleed out times would be bad as it makes shot placement less important. Shooting a bear with a 303 to the intestine area for example would most likely not cause a large bleeding wound and the blood would clot. The wound would be lethal probably as the bears digestive system would not be able to process food well and the bear would likely starve to death.

I dont support the idea of jumping at all. Not having the ability to jump is a ”trademark” of TLD like the unique art style.

Is a rifle scope ever going to be added?

I would prefer to have a smoker for smoking the meat after salting it to make jerky. Also this would be more balanced because you would not need a fire to prepare the food if you would just let it dry indoors.

I'm pretty new to steam and gaming in general, so this might be a silly question, but... In getting the achievements for The Long Dark on steam, do they all need to happen in a single survival mode playthrough? For example, I wanted to get the Pacifist achievement but I did some fishing on Mystery Lake. Can I still get the Pacifist achievement on a different survival mode save? Also, thank you for making such an incredibly challenging and enjoyable game. I love every minute of playing it.

I know i probably should not answer this in this thread. But yes you can as long as you do it in a seperate save.

Was gray mother blind from birth? If not than what made her blind?

I recently finished episode 1 of the story mode with 100% with all the caches and side missions. It tool me about 5 hours to complete it with help from the internet for cache/key locations. Overall i had fun with it and got a few achievements too. 

Now i will give a score  of 1 to 10 in a few different caterogies.

-Voice acting 10

- Writing 8

-Gameplay 9

Also episode 1 feels like it was designed to be possible to do many things in a single trip. As an example when i went to the church to give the pearls to Lily i also completed the highway robbery mission and the cache mission where the cache is at the lake next to a fallen tree.

I will also give my thought of episode 2 when i finish it assuming i dont get a stroke from the bear 😄.

That is all.

 Rabbitskin grenades and and bearskin landmines would also be neat.

How about having the knife handle only craftable with a moose antler as deer antlers are not thick enough for this.

Also it would be more balanced because if you could do it with deer it would be too easy to get.

What about the bear spear?

I like this but the bonus should be 5% at level 3 10% at level 4 and 15% at level 5 for balance reasons. 50% more meat would be 20kg of bonus meat from a moose at level 5.

How long are workdays at hinterland?

Is it so that hitting the eyes will be a critical hit, whatabout inbetween the eyes? Also should i shoot the right or the left eye?

Using a hunting rifle.( when i find one)

I suddenly remember when i visited a sewage treatment plant as a child...

It would not work. Imagine your on a slow laptop playing tld, then a bear charges you. You grab your revolver and shoot him the whole 6 times in the head. However the lag from trying to save the game 6 times would crash your pc.

I never burn skill books. Even the one i have read.

Why would a stick burn 3X longer just because you're holding it in your hand... and then be able to be burned again in a fire for nearly another 1/3rd of the burn time of a stick that was never used as a brand?

Well, a campfire would be way hotter and it would burn i faster.

Another fact to consider would be that the brand is only burning at the ends.

And the 3 mins burn time in the fire would be the part you hold on because who wants to get burned, right?

The brand shall return!!

So the ”take torch” campfire option should be replaced with a ”make brand” option. To make a brand you would need a stick and a campfire to light it on. It would burn for about 30 ingame minutes and when its burnt it should be replaced by a burnt brand, which could be burnt in a fire for 3 minutes of burn time.

Is it intentional to be so that you can take your arrow back from a live animal? I managed to do that on a fleeing wolf today!

Why are the challenges rated 1 to 5 hatchets in difficulty but there are no challenges with a difficulty of 1 or 2 hatchets? 

Also why are there no steam achievements for the challenges?

Is it still nearly impossible to hit anything with the rifle after the hotfixes? And i have been confused about what part of the rifle sight is the part where you will hit.

Also you have done an amazing job optimizing the game, its the only game i can run on absolutely highest graphics quality at 60 FPS with my gtx 770.

What caliber is the revolver supposed to be, and why did you change the rifle ammo description to not mention it being .303 in caliber?
