I don't disagree with you (I am a very old player as well ) But please remember this is one region out of many. None of my playthroughs had me trapped anywhere, So I could go full bushcraft after venturing into that weirdness (like with Blackrock). I also prefer more grounded survival experience, but I wouldn't say this update would alienate me. It just adds a map that might be too dangerous to vacation in.

An all meat diet would need some Metamucil for sure. Metamucil has a bonus vitamin C version, but I digress... our survivors need fibre if they ever hope to poop that bear meat. I hope there is some vitamin C fortified fibre drink instant mix sometime soon. (Yes, I am just being goofy here)

WHOOP!!! Finally an official update to First-Person Presence. All that other stuff is great, but I am most stoked about seeing my ingame status reflected in the first person animations. I voted for that in that poll long ago. So happy to see it happening! 😄

Fantastic! Will certain cooked foods offer bonuses? The description of Lily's pancakes seems to suggest it. (or it's possibly just a very filling dish) Anyway, Thanks again HTL. Really looking forward to this.👍

I noticed the two transmitters I lost were the first two I fixed. So... has a mechanic been added that transmitters die over time and we have retroactively lost them? That makes sense on Interloper, I guess. But I play a very chill custom setting. Did that Interloper adjustment bleed into the rest of the settings?

Happened to my Stalker run as well. Already completed the Tale, so had 4 towers repaired (Airfield, Muskeg, PV and Milton) but now only the ones in Airfield and Muskeg show up as repaired. I was mistaken on my initial report about my custom save. I lost 2 transmitters. I lost FM and PV. BR and DP are still fine. I haven't been to transmitters on FA or MT yet, I was just fixing the other transmitters so I could go after all the stuff in one big mission. I hope this is just the "on" switch flipping back. Big annoying unfun pain if I have to lug more car batteries around and scrounge more wires and fuses.

This happened to the Forlorn tower on my custom save. The ones I repaired at Black Rock and Desolation Point are still fine. I lost one out of three. Weird.

I doubt you'll hear complaints about difficulty from Lopers. (Can't make promises for anyone else, including me). I do wish I hadn't recycled so many batteries into lead in my current playthrough. Gonna be a lot of walking to fix those Transmitters.... I have lots of lead for bullets, but few batteries left for the transmitters... Oh, well. If it was easy, it wouldn't be TLD.

I think Hinterland handled it masterfully. If it was there at the start, the Loper crowd would have pooped on it. Now the Lopers want to play it. Pretty slick, IMHO. I respect it.

I'm sure we will all laugh about this later. 👍😁

I am very happy with the update so far. However, I stand with the Interloper players (though I am not one). Even though the new gameplay is mostly navigational help which they have traditionally disregarded in previous updates, I think they want 'right of refusal' rather than have it be denied. Some of them might even want to enjoy the lore aspect. Since literally all of the players I watch on Youtube are interloper players I have to say this deserves some more thought. A toggle setting in custom or a loot balance could solve this controversy.

My Steam wallet is locked and loaded. I'm ready! 😆

I am so stoked! That is so much value for the price. So much stuff I can't wait to get into. ...And can you imagine how terrifying that cougar is going to be during an aurora?

Sounds good, Raph! I was one of the guys who voted for paid DLC updates. I feel kinda guilty for having over 2200 good gaming hours for only 15 bucks. I'll be in line for the pre-order for the seasons. Still hoping for a co-op mode in the future, but still the best value for my gaming dollars. Really interested to see what you come up with next.

Looking forward to any news on the possible film. Perfectly understandable delay. 2020 was a lot. Take your time, folks. I know you'll do it right.
