  1. A long time ago I used to play Stalker mode and be a Trapper's Cabin addict. These days I prefer to be a homeless wanderer. I have regional bases, drop off locations, holiday spots if you like. But the big problem for me is if I stay somewhere more than a week I get really bored and stop playing the game for months because it all turns into a routine for me. There are places I do enjoy, such as the cave in Ravine near the train tracks, Community Hall and Signal Hill in PV, Mountaineer's Hut in TWM, cave in the climbing area near Milton is quite pleasant too, very pretty when an aurora is out. For me home is the small campsites I make on my journey and that's really the thing for me I love the travelling, so some days I might travel through a couple of regions just to climb Timberwolf again for the sake of it, although I wish it was even higher than it is. I play Voyageur these days because I just want to relax and because it suits my spontaneous playstyle.
  2. Fabulous read and I loved how the isolation has unhinged your survivor. I kind of get The Shining vibe from some of it "You have always been the Quonset Manager", as well as a few Lovecraftian elements. With a name like TheEldritchGod, I'm surprised in all your time there you haven't delved into Cthulhu worship yet. I fancy trying that in a new run, making some sigils with sticks or stones, or shrines near Fishing Village. Hopefully with enough effort Dagon will take notice and I'll be blessed with more fish or at least my lines won't break as often.
  3. So difficult to just pick one. I love the art style, the sound design, the immersion and Permadeath. Then there's the fact I become so invested and get very emotional about what happens. Most of all I think my favourite thing is the false sense of security. In the blink of an eye things can go from simple to being on the brink of death. Sit in relative safety for too long and get too cushy... you forget how dangerous things are. Plan to stay out late chopping wood longer than necessary because you want to stockpile... well now you're lost in a blizzard. Need your character to have a quick bite to eat but don't inspect the wrappers best before date... have fun with food poisoning. Want all that shiny stuff right now... say hello to the wolf pack who love to snack on prey that overburdens itself.
