This is a pattern with me for TLD. I haven't been playing lately because I've been working a lot and trying to go through my steam library and try some other games. I invariably get the itch for TLD though and come back yet again.
I haven't played any Ep. 4, but I think this is a good illustration of the challenge of designing a product for an audience. Honestly, as a player I like to see more mature content in games. With the sort of people that I understand Ep. 4 centers around, it only follows that some bad language is the very least of the horrors that sort of people could do in the circumstances of a situation like that in The Long Dark. Take the gentleman you run into early in Wintermute ( You'll know who I'm talking about if you've played it ). I took the path of mercy when I played it...but I sat and thought about whether that was the right decision. Do you really know how injured that fellow is? Could you not argue that you have a moral responsibility with the power you have to end any potential threat...permanently.
I also imagine if you're the sort that wants to play with your children or whatever, you would appreciate a game without a lot of cursing or things you have to have uncomfortable conversations with your kids about.
Why not have bonuses for keeping the other needs out of the red in addition to hunger? It seems well fed was introduced just to balance out a specific tactic then left behind. I think there is a lot of potential there. Can there be some sort of advantage to staying well hydrated, well rested, or comfortably warm?
The only thing I'm sure is a glitch that I've run into is the mystery lake rifle cache in the trailer and the graphical glitch with the safes. I only ran into the safe glitch after the update though.
I missed a few things I think so I'm going to start a new voyageur run. I'm honestly enjoying the fact that the loot tables such have been moved around so I might spend some time exploring then move into the new area by and by, perhaps after the next content drop.
I would like to see a shotgun added. If they're going to add more firearms a shotgun is the next logical choice. It would fill a niche that isn't already covered. It would allow for bird hunting which would be a neat new activity in the game.
The stalker run before this one I got into that mine and it is very much worth it if you plan ahead. Even on stalker loot there was more there than I really needed for a long time. The warning about electrocution is one you would do well to heed. I lost a good survival run there for that very reason. Stay out of the water and don't try anything foolish.
