michael_martin Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Crumbling Highway is sick! You dont have to be constantly in fear of getting mauled by wildlife. Plus its right between desolation point and coastal highway (two of the better maps as far as supplies). Plenty of hunting and vegetation. Its a solid place for a short stay on a long journey EDIT: Plus that basement under the burnt house is sick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorseRaven99 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I'm surprised there wasn't an option for Forlorn Muskeg. It's not my personal favorite (mine's Coastal Highway) but I've heard so much feedback on how FM is a lot of people's favorite, especially because they love the challenge.

mattyboi Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I've really grown to love FM, particularly love the abundant hunting and abundant sticks. But for pure artistic value, for me it's DP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polente Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Forlorn Muskeg: My main residence is in Mystery Lake (the camp office) because I like to live close to water and the woods, and I very much enjoy sitting at the lake shore close to the office by dawn. But my favorite map is forlorn muskeg. It's raw and inhospitable conditions are the perfect ground to seed my little adventures. Actually I've spend several days out there (stalker level; I'm still a rookie). After 8 days "out" you feel the strong urge to get back to where it's more cozy and comfortable. So going back to Mystery Lake is always like coming home. Forlorn Muskeg is far more challenging than any other region in The Long Dark. I really love that map, thanks for implementing...

So if you have no bow or rifle, its kinda your own fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you have no bow or rifle, its kinda your own fault Not everyone starts lucky (I started at Desolation Point and only found the rifle when I went to Coastal highway) ,and everything is randomized. In my current playthrough I did not go to Katie's Corner, so I do not have a bow. Perhaps it's because I'm not the best player, or perhaps it's because we all play the game differently. My point is that ammo is not common and that it is scarce. You can't start in one region and expect to have more than 10 bullets. Crumbling Highway is great to hunt wolf, but the problems outweigh the benefits in terms of animals to human ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the large room with the bones, there's a large rust colored pipe you can crawl through to get to the second level, when you get to the top there's some turned over boats, backpack, ammo, sometimes a gun. If not there its definitely behind the boxes I've played DP about 6 times and its been there every time... its worth a try Not trying to debate you or anything, just saying I'd check in those locations. Its been the opposite for me, I've never been able to find a gun at CH...except maybe once in the forestry lookout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mic Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 My favourite map is Desolation point, It wasn't but one day I was sharpening my hatchet (in a previous version) and when you get to 100% they switch the button from sharpening to recycle (I dont know wich word they use in english version, in spanish is "recoger") and I destroy my presious hatchet (that is the most important tool for me), without it I became useless man, as i couldn't find it I have to forge one, the only place where you can forge something was In desolation point (now we have FM), since then DP its my favourite map, tools and food, is not to much to see but everything is there.

morgellons Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Interesting that DP got the fewest votes...I guess I can understand that. It has some of the most interesting buildings in the game (stone church, lighthouse, whale processing), but it doesn't really have any good base or place I have ever felt comfortable calling home.

Shane Retter Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I would have voted for Forlorn Muskeg if it was listed. I so wish that map was larger, twice, or even three times the size .... you get the most rugged, nature hardened survivalist feeling to your character after he / she has spent a decent amount of time there. If there are ever going to be map expansions later on .... I really hope we get a lot more of that place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe see if you can explore some of the reasons for preferring a given map too! Many reasons were given in these comments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_Old_F250 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 When I voted a while ago I picked TWM, but i think PV is really my favorite, it is rugged and desolate, but there is just enough man made stuff hanging around to make exploring interesting. And the map is huge, its size lends to an overall feeling of uncertainty and vulnerability. Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowWalker Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I always find myself putting down roots at Coastal Highway. Preferably in the Coastal town house that overlooks the bay, if it's intact. Otherwise, in Quonset. I love CH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortan1234 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 i really like desolation point since all of the viable "homes" in that area are close to the shore, but coastal highway has so much more wildlife that i usually end up there. i setup 3 homes 1st and primary is quincy quonset gas station as it has lots of storage and more importantly workbench and fire barrel. the 2nd is Misanthropes house which is used for gathering sticks in relative safety and convenient lodging when hunting the bear. the last is jackrabbit island where i setup snares and use as lodging when hunting deer or beachcombing (note: there are also rabbits between misanthropes house and jackrabbit island so if you want to multitask and beachcomb while setting up snares/harvesting corpses that is a good area to do so).

SquanderBot Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I voted Mystery Lake. That's where I first started the game and had such a pleasurable experience fishing and trapping rabbits. After long sessions of exploring and nearly succumbing to the elements, it was the biggest feeling of relief to find my way back to that Camp Office where I could go inside, warm up and cook some fish.

Wasteland Watcher Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 A while back I voted Mystery Lake. Now that I'm more seasoned I think it's really tough to choose. I've learned to love all the maps. If I could re-vote I think I'm torn between Mystery Lake which has the most beautiful forests in this game and Desolation Point which has some of the best architecture and atmosphere in its buildings. I just don't like wolves at the door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
