  1. The Cabin Fever. As introvert myself (and I believe most of us here), I am constantly surprised on how quickly Cabin Fever develops. I know, Custom game can switch it off, but such on-off switch is too crude. I don't ask for disabling it completely.What there would be, like, "Cabin fever after [1/3/5/7] days"? Wouldn't that be great? I understand the reasons, why the affliction exists: to push the player out of safety, out of shelter, to go out explore, take risks... so the game is not boring. And not too much about maintaining a base, but about the world. Unfortunately, when playing on harder difficulties (like Interloper), Cabin Fever is what pushes me out and die: as sometimes there is just nowhere to go - outside is a storm, then aurora, then another storm... and inside, Cabin Fever. Can't be in, can't be out. (After 130 days in Interloper, with all tools and weapons, forced to go out in long storm, just as I had to sleep somewhere else?) (Not mentioning all the chairs, benches and sofas, that I pass, while heading to sleep in a cave.) So in short: the Cabin Fever is fine, but somehow strikes too quickly. It would be great to be able to fine-tune this option. (Or, to fight it by different means than going out - like, looking out of window or reading a book, but that is more complicate to implement).
  2. Yes, absolutely! It was my message to the nature, after 114 days on Interloper. "Sometimes, just staying alive is an act of bravery." or how they say it in one of the intro texts.
  3. A very good observation indeed! The couches, chairs and even benches... they are definitely unexplored options. I could imagine that maybe character needs something to be covered with. But, wouldn't a curtain do? Could be - and should be - usable as makeshift (weak) sleeping bag.
  4. I kinda hate when I hear "I have never been so cold in my life" every day twice on Interloper. There could definitely be more variety of comments, and the comments should take into account the things that player went through (in his current game). Examples: Freezing on day 1: "I have never been so cold in my life" Freezing for 2nd time: "I have never been so cold since ... well, at least from this morning." Freezing for 5th time: "One day, I will just... stop." Freezing for 10th time: "Another day, another freezing to death." When exiting from building, into storm (audible from inside): "Where do you want to suffer today?" After more times freezing, player can even start to be sarcastic: "My favorite: freezing to death in the morning!" Also, not needed to be concentrated to freezing only. There is entire world of options, that are - so far - totally unexplored: When harvesting freshly killed deer: "Sorry, friend. I just need something to eat." When staying at the same region for longer time: "I wonder how rest of the world looks like." When attacked by bear and equipping a rifle: "Say hello to my new friend." When reaching for a rope somewhere, where I did the same at the same day: "Ah, not this again." When re-entering a region, where I almost died last time I was there: "My favorite place to be." When seeing timberwolves for the first time: "Ah, new friends!" When falling through an ice: "Not exactly the ice skating my mom wanted me to learn." When HP under 25% and freezing. "And this is one of the warmer days." When entering a building, after long walk with hypothermia. "Home, sweet home. Well, not exactly *my* home, but anyway." When freezing+tired+sick, could say things like "I am sick and tired ... of being sick and tired." When attacking a sleeping bear (never a good idea): "What could possibly go wrong here?" When seeing a dead body "I see dead people." Some taunts can be character-specific. Astrid is a doctor, and Will is a pilot - they could comment in their specific style! Astrid: "Is there a doctor around here? Oh, wait. I am one." when applying a bandage over bleeding hand. Astrid: "I will keep your heart. For, eh, scientific reasons." when just killing a wolf. Astrid: "Human, 30 years, male. Cause of death: dancing in the snowstorm". when seeing a new dead body. Astrid: "I got the poison, I got the remedy" or "Thank you, Dr. Flemming", when taking antibiotics. Will: "This is your captain speaking. Prepare to land in Hudson" when just barely escaping from a weak ice. Will: "May Day, I am falling down" when Will fallen through the ice. Will" Requesting permission to land", when exhausted starting a sleep. Will: "Tower, requesting permission to crash" when HP gets in red. Will could also comment on technicalities of the crashed airplanes and other vehicles he sees (like, on the Summit, or in Pleasant Valley). Will: "I wonder what Astrid would think about this?" just before starting episode 3, where we play as Astrid. So many, many and many options 🙂
  5. This would be so cool! You could just have kind of audiobooks, so voice would "sound in your head" while you walk (and might even be selected depending on your region). I would happily pay 5-10 Euro for DLC with contents like this. Especially If I could choose from several DLCs, depending on what actor is reading them. I'd be happy if there would be options for people like Morgan Freeman or Jennifer Lawrence 🙂
  6. Especially when playing on Interloper, Cabin Fever can disrupt things off. Outside is storm, nowhere near to go - Cabin fever is a killer. I'd suggest two things: either, add new optional feat, that would prolong the time before Cabin Fever develops, OR, mabye just selecting Will will grant this feat, while selecting Astrid would give another feat - as they are different characters. After all, they are two different people - so they do not need to have the exact same stats, right?
  7. Hotkey to DROP TINDER while walking would be great. I discovered I can mark good paths with them: where is not a weak ice, which way is to nearest shelter.... or sometimes, just funny texts when I wait for my meat to be cooked. Later in the game, they are not much needed for their original purpose anyway.
  8. Can I ask again, how the colorblind filter is going? I realized it could be useful when searching for coal in caves. And maybe the weather (or su) would look a bit better for us.
  9. Hmm, if it is that simple, then I'm wondering why someone didn't already. Or did they...? On the other hand - I think it's fair to ask the developers first...
  10. I know this sounds weird... but: as the Hinterland Shop is still closed and we have no way to get your merch - what if we'd just buy things from the game in form of 3D models? Like, the coffee mug... or statue of timberwolf. Or even some house, or a bridge. Or a plastic map. In any case, it would support the community around TLD... some people could print it and give it to others - either, players, or - future players 😉 P. S. Model of in-game car that could actually open hood or trunk and have some small container to store small objects (paperclips..)... that would be just awesome!
  11. Surprisingly enough, I do have NVidia card and it WORKS! Thank you, fellow survivor! 🙂
  12. Simply as it sounds, have the usual "frame limiter" in options would help a bit. So far, my graphic card renders it to average 60fps, but that is unneccessary. It just put heaver load to the card, take more electricity ... and you hear the GPU fan louder. Being able to limit the FPS on 30-40 would be great. Even greater, if you let users to choose their own value (or at least, select from increments of 10 or something). I believe that is super simple and will help.
  13. Hello! Future updates came, I even bought the DLC - nahh, nothing for colorblind people. But I'm not complainting. This is just a "ping". Maybe you could somehow re-open that topic?
  14. Are you saying... I should... hack my way to victory? :-)) I actually believed in something more nuanced: like, having option to "Use" the book, then there would be opened book visible, with pages of text and occasional pictures... and I could actually scroll it. Also, the reading could be narrated by someone, so I could read myself and listen to the narrator. Morgan Freeman would work fine for me. Or the survival expert lady, Kinga Philipps, that commented The Long Dark on YouTube: "If you've seen one dead body - you've seen them all."
  15. That mod is great! Almost perfectly what I meant.
