Mahou's Haven

Well, it's not like they are especially buggy or anything, but some of the things you have to do or recipes you can make aren't very straight forward for example.

I thought of you as being good with complex tasks.

theres not much building tho.

As Requested: A Long Dark Run, explained in pictures.


The game allways starts with a nice Quote. some frop people, I got the opening passage of Walden and part of I Am Legend.
well, thats not too encouraging...


This is where I started. seems like kind of a one-way Situation hee, but I'm on a road, which is nice, so, we just follow it for now.


I spawned next to a huge lake, but the Map Description warned me of thin ice, so I'm not taking any risks here.


Found an abandonned car. Trunk is locked so thats a miss for now, but I found a soda in the glovebox, which is nice.


following the road and taking in some Narnar.



my stats and options for now. Stats looking okay, but that will soon change.


found a fishing camp, or as I call it "loot chutes". (altho theres rarely anything good in it)



found a lot of clothes and used the time to take the useless ones apart to get stuff to repair my good clothes (found a sewing kit, as well. Lucky me!)


A Corpse. a sign of whats to come. and some loot to boot (a knife and some fishing stuff. useful for now. spent a few hours fishing, but it doesnt really work out yet since you use up more energy fishing than the fishes bring you


A Bullet. Might save y life (if I had a rifle)


and suddently its night. and night is dark as balls here.


but the night sky is pretty.


A Howl and two geen glowing dots approaching. A Fucking wolf and shits getting serious. Luckily I have a Flare with me which (according to the description) is loud enough to scare off wildlife.
It scared off the wolf but for how long?


turns out, not too long. I et a wolf (this wolf?) again a few steps along the way. Flares still burning and the wolf ran off again (luckily)


Found a House just around the corner (whew) using it to spend the night


almost a day survived. Its around 6 am and the house is still completely dark, but I found a ton of food (but no stove...)
but guess who wished me a good morning?


Wolfie suprised and almost IMMEADIATELY jumped me after leaving the house. Guy almost killed me but I managed to fend him off. But at waht cost? I'm bleeding, almost dead and I need rest immeadeately!


Used the logging trailer next to the night house for foraging and resting half a day.



More beautiful Night Sky Nature! Still wandering to find more stuff (and a stove to cook some rabbit meat I found)


and suddently, Fog. This picture and the last one are 20 seconds apart! Weather changes fast out here.


and it started to storm. I took a nice nap next to a campfire and wake up to this. No visibility, its cold as balls and well. Wind all over the place


Think I found something to navigate by, but its just a tiny island with nothing on it. Pressing on since I'm freezing... Will need a house or at least a wind protected area soon!


okay, now we're really up shitcreek without a paddle. I have no Idea where I came from, where I am and where the thin ice ends.
This will end one way or the other. Either I freeze to deth or I fall through the Ice and die.



welp, Ice it was.


almost 2 days survived. thats not much, tbh.

Well, I am in some regards. I guess it depends. If I have the time to think things through and puzzle it out, I do better. I'm not great under pressure.. although strangely, many of the games I play put you under that timed decision situation. Maybe I'm trying to strengthen my abilities. lol who knows?

Hate time limits >.

I hate Permadeaths. especially in Storydriven games (taking VC and Fire Emblem onto that list)

Yet you play lots of rogues?

Okay, let me rephrase that, I hate Permadeath when it comes to characters that are not me.

Much better

I still get mini heart attacks when people get KO'd in VC...

Fire emblem gives you really terible gut punches in that matter... all those happy Endings and then


:|

Shhhh, let them rest in peace

in the end, you will allways know it was your fuck up that had them die.

Stahp....bad thoughts guy...fucking Pikmin already did a number on me

on my first playthrough of VC I had one guy die on me due to recklessness. I had a memoral for him in my guild in a browser game for a while

I hate losing things in strategy games in general. And I'm a packrat too, so no losing things in general

well, in normal RTS's or Grand Strategy Games losses are allways there. But if the thing you lose has a name, its getting into rough teritory.

Yeah....accidentally killed people in Skyrim....game kinda didn't work anymore for some quests...

I'm a pack rat too, which is why I play bethseda games like fallout or elder scrolls in the first place. Open world with lots of quests and people.. and did I mention the loot? Never enough houses! lol

The fact you can mod the game is nice too. Keeps the game play fresh. Only trouble is it leaves me wanting sometimes. Like, you get more loot than a king and before long houses feel more like a warehouse than a rest stop. I like it when there are things to do at home.. makes it feel more livable ya know?

I did play skyrim for a long time, but a corrupt mod broke my 200+ mod install. I have to reinstall the game and start over.. something I'm dreading as I have neither the time or the patience to go through and redo all those files.

I do feel for you guys though and relate to NPCs dying in skyrim. One of the mods I had was "run for your lives" which makes most of them flee from things like dragon attacks.. because frankly, while some death is acceptable, no level 10 npc should try to fight a dragon off with farmer's clothes and a dagger. My towns were getting wiped out.

Melly, the long dark looks hard.. but I confess, I get a bit excited seeing all those stats. xD

[color=#993300]Hey Maho
