benadryl Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Sandbox is fun and Story mode will be nice but how about a Oregon Trail version of this game? The wagon will be your base on the move and you gain and loose stuff along the way. Each stop to hunt, trap, chop, fish, scavenge, and harvest can be procedural generated to add replay value to this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightnin_ch0wn Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 coming from Oregon, and having played the game a lot, I really like the idea of this "mod"in the game though the difficulty came from random disease, or injury. I think we'd have a hard time getting that in a "realistic" version because we'd have full control of our character. Although there were like 5 people on that wagon, so maybe when little bessie breaks her leg, you have X amount of time to get the splint together and whatnot before she bleeds out. or find the proper herbs/medicine to help cure mommas dysentery.

BigJayA Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Interesting concept. I'm normally not one for procedurally generated stuff but it would be a perfect fit in this case.I'd play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottway Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 You go out hunting and somehow manage to suffer an accidental gunshot wound...How the hell does that even happen? Are you just looking down the barrel of the gun or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottway Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 It was something in Oregon Trail 5, where more times than not you'd end up suffering an 'accidental gunshot wound'. Though I always think like the Terminator is out to get you or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
