illanthropist Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 So I thought I'd try to bag a few achys in one play through:Pacifist Survive the first 25 days without killing anything (single game) Silent Hunter Survive the first 50 days without firing the Rifle (single game) Living Off the Land Survived 25 consecutive full days only consuming calories harvested from wild plants and animals (single game) and figured I'd add to that withIt was THIS Big! Caught a fish weighing over 5kg (11 lbs). After doing a spot of catch and release fishing to pass the time, just wondering if they actually count as a catch and release and won't ruin the Pacifist achievement. Just worried might have ruined it so any help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Cristo Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Apparently, the answer is...quiet in the house...drum roll please.... Yes, fishing counts as killing, which makes sense, because our fishy friend is alive, then dies as a result of your action and viola, any court in the animal kingdom would convict. https://steamcommunity.com/app/305620/discussions/0/611702631248332365/?insideModal=1 Check out that link though, it has an answer for your next question; does killing a wolf in self defense count? apparently that is downgraded to wolf slaughter. On the bright side, start a new game in Pleasant Valley, because there is plenty of loot and carrion that'll keep you going for 25 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illanthropist Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Aye, but I don't keep the fish when catching, I was letting them go so I was wondering am I tossing dead or live fish back into the water. That post mentions fishing for food! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyzara Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 No idea whether the game makes a difference between catching and releasing fish. I've never heard of anyone who ever released fish in TLD to be honest.^^ You'll probably have to try it out yourself, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Cristo Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Same as Scyzara, no idea. Let us know how it played out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, going for the two 25 and 50 achy's not using a rifle, not killing and living off the land leaves you with a little time on your hands as looting stashes early on is a little pointless so thought I'd have a crack at It was THIS Big! (Caught a fish weighing over 5kg) whilst at it. Have a feeling I've messed it up, will ask the devs when they get back from GDC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a friendly fisherman myself in The Long Dark, I am curious about this as well. I have to say, I almost always harvest the fish. But you certainly have the option to leave them. I'll look into the consequences of this in terms of achievements for you. --Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elloco999 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Why would you let the fish go? Fishing is costly in both time and resources, I'm not going to diminish my r.o.i. by throwing the fish I catch back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catch and release fishing shouldn't stop you from getting the Pacifist achievement. Hope that clears it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
