I think he refers to the storyteller telling the background story of the world to children, it's not a cutscene , you can walk past it

Good looks , I've been struggling with having wiresFigured some of you have trouble with wires being scarce. Here's one error I made that contributed to that early on.
I think some of us are just used to the normal way of reloading in games, however please remember that when you use resources to buy ammo, you buy them in bulk.
So don't waste time crafting ammos when you are just 2, 3 arrows short. Keep track of how many are left and craft responsibly

Yeah that story info was awesome. I kept wondering what those giant robot tentacles on the mountain were.

Sounds good. I don't think I have any side missions yet, but I have quite a few "errands". I've been staying away from them so far because most of them are of the collect 5 of this or that variety. Does this change further on or should I just stick to the actual side quests for the meaty stuff?
Fake edit: I just got my first side quest. It's really low level though.

I love Marea's look.
Knocking parts off does the following:
1) You can use the parts as materials
2) Some robots have weapons that can be used when knocked off
3) Knocking parts off lowers their defended, in some cases it causes an explosive damage
4) Last and the most important reason, knocking off a certain part mean the robots lose a certain ability.
The way to quickly kill a robot is by doing the following in this order:
1) Lay traps before fight
2) Knock out the important stuff using tear arrows, it might do some damage it might not....But damage isn't important here.
3) Debuff the robot using an elemental weakness
4) Use heavy arrows at critical points, if possible fire 3 arrows at once provided you have the skill.

I am not near the end of the game(I think). I am going around trying to get the special armor u get a trophy for. I am at the entrance to
. Is there a way into this place before a certain point. When I got to the area, I was
gia prime
attacked by a giant bird, so I sprinted past it and got to what I believe is the entrance. I can climb up, then it seeming leads to a dead end. But even then I dont see anyway I would be able to proceed later

USgamer review kinda killed that, but ultimately a number doesn't dictate quality.
Ugh I usually don't have any issues with resource management in games but my pouch is constantly full and I don't know what to sell and what to keep. I'm trying to upgrade my resource pouch to carry more but none of the boars I'm killing are dropping bones. I just want to play the game and be able to loot stuff lmao.

Oh my god.. Bought the Deluxe version so I could get the Theme. The main screen is good but that bright yellow with white letters in the side menus just makes my eyes hurt

Question: are the bigger creatures like Thunderjaws supposed to be saved for later in the game?
Ran into my first Thunderjaw and tried to take it down a few times but really couldn't chip its health past like....an eighth of its healthbar
My instinct with everything thus far has been "yep let's take care of it" but I've run into a couple of things now that don't really seem doable without standing around chipping it

Drop one resource so you have space to pick something new up
Go into the crafting menu for the resource pouch upgrade
Press [ ] to create job (I think it's [ ])
Kill boar
Now you should have a boar bone
Huh didn't know that was even a thing, nice. Thanks!

Just experienced this and it was beautiful. The tone of her voice and the delivery really sold it. And the fact that
she updates him on her journey so far

So the two times I've done this I always got the resource I needed for crafting. Does this make the drop percentage 100%?
I also haven't used it much but it seems to be that way.

The game is like that you come across certain dinos and you're just like.. "can I do this?" Sometimes is better to run and wait until you got the proper gear to tackle the challenge.
Tearblast sharpshot bow is your friend.

Take your time with the game, do all the side quests and activities. Trials are a lot of fun as well.
Making a resource a job does not do anything, atleast it didn't for me.
However, there is a proper mechanic to increase rare drop rates...i.e. Harvest arrows (Sharpshooter Bow).
If you kill something with the Harvest arrows they have quite a high drop rate for rare materials. I had a lot of issues getting Fox skin and Boar skin and it took a long time to get them, then I realised what Harvest arrows actually does (there is NO explanation of what it does in the game anywhere) and killed a few animals with it and voila !! rare stuff started popping every 2-4 kills.

I did not know what the hell harvest arrows do. Thanks for sharing man.
Also when you finish the last quest can you explore the world still or do you have to start a new game?

Doing a sidequests that involves hunts.. man is this fun.
For me it works, but I haven't done hundreds of tests because the upgrade is finished after the first kill after I create a job when I miss one resource.

Yeah that was pretty much the only way I could do any real damage
Giant bird things seemed like a pain too, most of the time the arrows weren't even registering as hits..... I imagine you destroy the glowing parts and it fucks off
I took my first Thunderjaw as a level 17 something. All you need to take him down is tear arrows, fire arrows and heavy arrows. And you can make it even easier if you have some blast traps and a ropecaster.
Infact, actually you only need tear arrows and that's about it, if you shoot the disc launcher with 1-2 tear arrows it'll get dropped and made available for you to use, you can then practically kill the Thunderjaw entirely using the disc launcher.

I just got two power cells and I can now access the hidden armour in a ruin. I need to go to work now and will be back after 7 hours. TORTURE.
Holy shit indeed. What a place.
Once you finish the last mission the game world resets to a point just before you initiate the last mission, so you can go around do stuff in the world and even attempt last mission again. Kind of like how FFXV did it.
Headed there now. Holy shit on the way as well at the new machines and views.
at this rate I'm never going to reach there lol reminds me of that place in Dragon Age, so much to do
Keep expectations in check.

The trek to Meridian was something else. I felt like they ended up putting entire Texas into the game.

It is not. Killed a shit ton of racoons with a quest active and never actually got what I needed.

I just took on two
on very hard. The sheer satisfaction I got for beating them, especially because I hadn't saved in a bit...
Holy shit, I love this game.
That the game turns off aim assist makes landing the clutch shots even more satisfying.

I'm level 35 and I'm picking up all the metal flowers and vantage point before heading there now. Gaf has been hyping the city up so much I can't wait to get there
If I'm not mistaken it should be in your treasure boxes within your inventory
Perfect for me. I'll turn the hud completely off and just roam

Is there a way to repair your mount? I accidentally called it into a bandit camp and it got down to half health. I'm too attached to it to let it die, we've been through so much together :'(

So what does the create a job feature actually do? I thought it was supposed to help you to stop grinding
Found 3 in one spot and noped myself out.
Found two sawtooths earlier and got me a few times
I've got nothing left to do in this game now except a few bandit camp, 3 trials and collecting shit lying across the map.
I do find it a bit funny though how people hate Ubisoft games because of the "formula" no matter how fun to play the game is or different from formula (as with Watch Dogs 2) the game is. Going as far as to mock even the smallest things like the map because it's full of icons. And the funny bit is that Horizon has all of it from collectibles to towers to map full of icons, it's more Ubisoft formula than Watch Dogs 2 or Division and yet I haven't really seen that sort of negativity towards it.
It shows that the formula isn't really bad or isn't really something that makes the game bad inherently but what matters is the gameplay...Though in case of Ubisoft it seems to be hard for people to see past the name of the developer.

Yeah, sadly this is what most OTs in Gaf feel for me. I don't linger in OTs much for this reason.
