Thank you, Hinterland!

Not sure what the next route should be... 🤔 In either case, I'll want to bring some of the gear and supplies back to the Park Office. However, after that... I'm not sure if I should forgo Milton proper and move on to St. Christopher's Church and start making my way around the long way? ...or do I just hit Milton now before moving on through the region? 🤔

Perhaps not an exciting day... but some well-earned rest, I think. I did indeed spend the day bolstering my water supply. Thanks to the rabbit I'd snatched from the wolf the other day, I wouldn't even be out a day's ration. I spent the morning out gathering sticks (not about to waste axe condition on firewood... there's usually sticks a-plenty). Hmm, I don't really need it right now, but... duly noted. 🤭 One has to remember to make the most of a sunny day on Great Bear Island. The smell of that rabbit is phenomenal. ☺️ Tricky fish... 😏 If it hadn't occurred to me try and stand on top of a small plastic container (there next to the garbage can - otherwise obstructing my view inside)... I would never have been able to spot this precious little gift. I'm definitely staying over for the night again now. I can scarcely remember feeling this warm, comfortable, and safe... I have a pack heavy with food and supplies... the whole house is so warm and cozy (even had to take most of my gear off it was so warm). That evening I just sat out on the porch watching the snow, and filling my stomach with Rabbit, Coho Salmon, and Grape Soda. 🤭 What a nice sort of day.

@LunarLime @Leeanda I concur. I tried "Green Hell..." that nutrition system just feels to me like a horrible slog. It's the single reason I can't bring myself like or even play that game ever again. 😖 To me, there's only so much micromanaging I'm willing to do before I'm just not having fun anymore... Green Hell is way over that line for me.

That’s called episode 2 in Wintermute 😂 😋

I mean... let's be honest with myself: On the outside, I try to play it cool But on the inside... 😋

"Wolf... interrupted."

[Accompaniment] Timecop1983 - On the Run I got things situated and started on the day's route... I decided to head back to the Park Office to drop off what I'd managed to gather up so far, before continuing on to Paradise Meadows. As I entered the barn, I heard a bark outside... We wolf spotted me, and tried to stand its ground... defending its meal. However, I decided to use a stone to run it off. That rabbit will make a nice meal tomorrow (though I really don't need it, but I'll take advantage of the opportunity). All-in-all a nice set up here. Two cooking pots found... I may stay here an extra day to build up a good water supply. I'd found two packages of Water Purification tablets, so that will speed things along. The rabbit I snatched from the wolf will mean I won't be at a loss for a day's meal by staying an extra day either. And a nice warm bed for the night... what a good day.

I have decided I'd save the Climbing Area for the route out. Today though, I think I'll make for the road out of town, the wood lots, the Orca Gas Station... and maybe back to the Paradise Meadows Farm. I think I'll save Milton proper for its own day.

I mean, my gosh... imagine our survivor waking up and having a real proper breakfast.

From the Archives: Honestly... Will probably should not have been flying anyway (bad weather or not). I know he said it's "Under control," but if the bottle was out... I'd say it's likely he'd already had a few just before Astrid came in from the cold... It's not a judgment... it's just an observation.

@SlippedGear Fair play... I don't disagree with you either. I was really just offering an alternative while folks wait. As I said, I have no objection to more custom settings. I also tend to agree that more options are generally better than fewer.

Yes, I imagine that's exactly true.

It's always a heavy on the heart to wake from such a wonderful dream...

@SlippedGear Again... I wasn't criticizing the idea. I was merely pointing out that the core of what you're proposing can effectively already be done in game, simply by changing the way we choose to play it. I know what you're getting at, I get it. However, like I was saying before we can do that already just by choosing to ignore or scrap the other lanterns. I know what you're getting at, I get it. However, like I was saying before we can do that already just by choosing to ignore or scrap the other variants. I know what you're getting at, I get it. However, all I was talking about is the fact that if we use those skills sparingly... it takes can take a very long time for any skill to hit level 5... That's literally all I was saying. Again... I wasn't criticizing the idea. Simply that we could already just choose to use our skills minimally, and as a result it could potentially take much longer while to master any one of them if we'd like to delay the higher-level benefits. @hozz1235 But that's not even what I was talking about. I wasn't saying anything trying to keep skills at level 1 indefinitely. Simply that we could already just choose to use our skills minimally, and as a result it could potentially take much longer while to master any one of them if we'd like to delay the higher-level benefits. =================== =================== In either case... I'm not interested in being drawn into an argument nor have the time for a protracted debate about it; so I'm going to leave it at that. One last time.. I wasn't criticizing the idea... just offering that much of this we can already achieve through Player Choice. I've already said my peace, and I stand by it... if we disagree, that's okay.

Then I'd recommend submitting a ticket so they can track the issue/fix the issue. (Assuming it's not working as Hinterland intends) https://hinterlandgames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us
