Why the heck can you only climb rocks that are covered in bird poop?
Are they trolling us, or do bird droppings offer optimal grip?
Well, it looks like chalk, I guess.
Later into the session I had an interesting encounter with a bear guarding a shrine in his den.
I was able to lure him to the second entry of his cave and snuck around outside back to the main entrance to get the shrine skill point.
Other than that, I'm still hard-locked in 'countryside admiration mode'. Love the autumn realm.
