How can you switch off Timberwolves? 🤔I just heard u can just avoid them in survival mode by not going to the "Timberwolf area"

Ok, thanks for the information ✌️ So I'll try the survival mode cause "regular" animals I can get but this Timberwolfs are driving me crazy 😫I thought that the story mode is the "main" game but I can see now that maybe it's only a preparation for the "real" game 🤔Still I would like to play not so stressful game with an interesting story as in the beginning. But thanks anyway!

Ok I understand your arguments but still I liked the game more earlier even if I'm learning the mechanics. Maybe also the problem is I'm playing on laptop so it's hard to manage the controls...idk At least can you tell me if in survival mode on the easy level there are also animals attacking you?

Yeah I'm already there and managed to get 2 surivivors and found the 2 others but I just got killed again by the Timberwolfs even that I shot one of them (I know u need to shoot more if there are more) and I'm running out of food etc. so I'm frustrated again. I'm seriously thinking about quitting and watching the gameplays till the end but I want to end this episode since I got so far I'm making saves so I can always get back. But thanks anyway for the good words

Also I just learned on YT that the snow shelter protects u from the attacks of animals and u can shot them from there so I will definitely make one. But first I have to kill/scare the Timberwolfs that attacks me right now and collect the sticks and cloths to make a shelter. I also managed to protect from them several times at the beginning of episode 3 just by hiding in the houses and passing some time there like at least 1 hour - when I went out later, they were gone. But later during the game it didn't work or maybe it was a bug or sth at the beginning. Probably that's why I managed to live some time in the game cause these Timberwolfs are frustrating.

I wish I had that bug Cause I don't like that animals attack me unlike in previous episode in green mode.

I answer some your questions in the previous comment. I don't understand your suggestions cause u r suggesting me to save the money but I believe developers want to sell the game to lots of people. I just liked the game in 1st episode and the beginning of 2nd one and I would like other episodes to have the same mechanic. If someone wants to have a more difficult game it could be a choice. That's all.

I already watch gamplays on YT. That's why I somehow finally killed that Old Bear. My point is I really liked the game on the easy mode just before the Old Bear challenge. I like the animations with the bear. I don't understand why they made the game more difficult later on on the easy mode. I chose this easy mode for some reason. On episode 1 and half the second episode the wolfs and other animals where running away from me. It's even more realistic that way, as the wolfs don't usually attack people irl. And then there was difficult (for me and lots of people - I read comments from December 2020 so not so long ago) struggle with the Old Bear and now in the 3rd episode I have wolfs, bears and also Timberwolfs attacking me. At least they could just make this attacks not so often in the easy mode. I really want to end this episode by myself cause I made this far already. U can laugh but I really enjoy the game in episode 1 and the beginning of the 2nd episode - it wasn't boring and "playing for itself" for me cause u have a lot of quests in the meantime , you need to worry about being fed, hydrated and not cold and u need to collect a lot of stuff and leave the heavy ones so the game is a bit strategic. Plus you have the interesting story and a beautiful views which I find less beautiful when I have to worry all the time if I won't be attacked again soon. Because if u suggest me watching gameplay, u suggest me not buying these game and I think it's better when more people buy it. For example I think that's why The Walking Dead need to sold the game cause a lot of people were too scared to play it and just watched it on YT cause the game is great. Anyway it's just a suggestion. I read somewhere that the attacks are more rare in the more difficult levels but u have less ammunition. But I believe I can't change the mode now when I'm already in the 3rd episode....

Yes, I was also suprised! Idk - maybe more players play survival mode or challenge mode 🤔 But still for me it's strange that so few people play the story mode till the end. I think it can be because of difficulty.

The very easy mode in which you don't have to fight with Old Bear and Timberwolfs and any other animals (just the animations would be great). It's for people who are playing mostly for a good story and don't like to learn how to kill some virtual creatures. I'm such a player and this is more frustrating than fun. I thought the Long Dark would be too difficult for me as I'm not an experienced player but the Episode 1 and the beginning of Episode 2 were great. Then it starts to get more frustrating than fun. I saw on Steam that only 10% of players got the badge for killing the Bear and I saw lots of comments on YouTube from people who got stucked on The Old Bear challenge so I think it's a good idea to make a very easy mode so that more players would buy and enjoy the game.

You are not the only one who got frustrated with The Old Bear Challenge. Without walkthrougs and advices on YouTube and Steam I wouldn't make it and stop playing. I'm playing only for the good story and I choose the easy mode for some reason...🙄 U can see on YouTube comments that more people got problems with that and got killed by a Bear many many many times. When I finally killed the Old Bear, I got a badge on Steam that says that only 10% of players got it 😮 And when I finally made it to episode 3 there is another frustrating part - Timberwolfs who attack you even when you play on easy mode I will play the game till the end cause I want to know how it ends but with this attacking animals it's not fun anymore. So It would be nice if developers make a very easy mode for people who are playing only for the good story Advices that helped me: - wear military coat - it gives you more protection and the bear won't kill you the first time he bites you; - You need to point at the bear after it stands on his feet and roar cause if u do it too soon, you won't have much stamina to fight. It always attacks 3 times; - !!!!! change the accessibility from "quick tapping to "press and hold" - the fight will be easier cause with tapping you need to tap with special rythm (I also read that some people need to change frame rates in settings cause their computers are too slow for the fight with tapping option) !!!! - observe the Old Bear for a while especially when u want to finally reach for the spear - wait till the bear is walking at the opposite direction than you want to go to grab the spear. That will buy you time to grab it and point it. - * I read that you can also take this medicine that gives you the stamina before the fight - you will have more power to fight. It's not necessary but I guess maybe it helps if u point the spear too late - the bear won't kill you and u will have more stamina too fight again 🤔

[sorry for mistakes I'm not a native speaker] I agree. I'm playing games only for a good story. I don't like to spend time to learn how to kill/scare some virtual game creatures. This is more frustrating than satisfying for me. Also in episode 2 I was frustrated by the Old Bear challenge. Without walkthroughs I wouldn't make it. When I finally did it, it wasn't fun but relief that the story will finally progress. And I believe I'm not the only one - on YouTube video solution how to kill the Old Bear there are lots of comments that people got stuck on this challenge and got killed by a bear about 40(!) times. When I finally killed the Bear I got a badge on Steam that says only 10%(!) players got it. So I think it speaks for itself...I understand that some players want more adventures and risk and like to learn virtual tricks but there should be a choice for people who just want a good story.
