Bronco Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 ...that gets freaked out by tree stumps thinking it was a wolf (especially in low light conditions)? The sound in this game is so immersive! When I hear a wolf howl to my side, if I pan quickly to check, I only see a tree stump but not before my heart skips a beat. You know you are playing a great game when the game can invoke these sort of reactions. Well done Hinterland!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird because I believe it's realistic in this situation due to the Aurora that Wolves are more rabid, but I also get SO scared! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upfrontjunk Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I mistake a lot of things for wolves at the corner of the screen. I'm always on edge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I mentioned in the OP, it usually follows me hearing a wolf so the expectation of seeing a wolf is already established. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ape88 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 You are definitely not alone. But I try to watch carefully for movement. I also have to watch for a moment to determine if far away animals like deer are moose or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like one of my earlier runs, ran out of a fishing hut on Coastal Highway, fully loaded with stinky fish, right into a pack of wolves. Yup, no hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cattleman Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 It might just be me, but... Since 1.48 dropped I have had a horrible run with wolves and bears... They seem to be way more intuitive of my location and home in on me from much greater distances. I always play on stalker and it also seems that there are more wolves tham before... Not that I am against any of this, in fact I like it... It has brought rhe challenge back for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some playing around with the wolves in CH out on the ice where I could see them from long distance... And I'm convinced they detect me much sooner than they used to. I tried 6 times to get a new game going and didnt make it past day 4 on any of them. Had starts in CH, ML, DP and HRV... My best start was on CH and was doing well, but ended up freezing to death in a blizzard that caught me taking the long way home to avoid the wolves. All the other runs the wolves got me, and once a bear snuck up on my while butchering a deer... The bear got the deer... And me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolan Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Yep, and some rocks too. Before they moved it, I used to get a jump scare with the Mystery Lake office sign. But that was also when there was a regular wolf patrol path that went right by the back door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
