Werewolf who desperately doesn't want to change back. Werewolf who clings to his monstrous shape for as long as he possibly can, resisting as he feels himself turning back at dawn. Werewolf who weeps when his claws shrink back into fingers and he loses his fangs and fur. Werewolf who holes up in bed, miserable and meticulously watching the moon cycle each month until he can transform again.

anybody want to form a codependent bond with me

No one:

My brain for no reason: I'M IN THE BUSINESS OF MISERY LETS TAKE IT FROM THE TOP

What if The Long Dark… but Werewolf

(Original idea by Qille on YouTube)

Down here is some more stuff vvv

This started as an affliction but now it resembles more of an idea for a challenge mode like Darkwalker (but longer or endless. Because otherwise that would be boring).

The survivors “goal” is to pay attention to the moon phases to take the necessary precautions in time and not turn into a werewolf. Or they can if they want but they get a bunch of debuffs like Intestinal Parasites because the werewolf definitely ate some things that the survivor shouldn’t.

The survivor can prevent/control the transformation with two methods:

Safehouse Barricading:

Like the “clear junk” option but it takes time and resources to barricade windows, doors, etc. This doesn’t prevent the transformation but prevents the werewolf from leaving a the safehouse. There could be a chance that the barricades break and the werewolf escapes but doesn’t get too far. (Who let the dogs out?)

Wolfsbane:

A plant that can be burned and gives the survivor an effect that as long as it lasts prevents the transformation. But it also applied the Pain and Herbal Poisoning afflictions.

Because Wolfsbane is really really poisonous. I originally wanted to make it into a potion/tea but while that would prevent the transformation it would do that by killing the survivor. Task failed successfully I guess. So smoke that’s still a bit poisonous but not by that much it is.

I WANNA TALL WITH A DOOR GUY!!!!

Show off those sexy solid oak doors that probably cost to much because of inflation. I WANNA SMELL THE DOOR

One sad side effect of big box stores is that you just don’t get lifelong hyper fixation guy access like you used to.

Like yeah I can go to Menards and buy a door.

But it used to be I could go to the door store, and speak to a man whose sole passion in life was doors and who would talk about the history of door insulation patterns over the last 50 years without stopping to breathe.

That man is gonna find me the BEST door option for me.

Seriously my neighborhood had one of these. They were across the street from the lighting shop owned by the guy who could tell you the exact date, off the top of his head, that your property got electrical wiring based on your address.

Now these guys rarely get to own a shop, make a good living, and sell the very finest doors for decades. They’re relegated to Reddit posts which are informative but ultimately do not replace door guy having a door shop.

I don’t want to talk to some miserable, underpaid 20 year old who was in plumbing last week and in doors this week and doesn’t know a hammer from a hanger.

I want my door guy back.

Looked this up because I was curious, and the majority of homes in the USA, Canada, and Australia have screened in windows!

That doesn't stop bugs from breaking into my room just to bite me 😒

I continue to run into people that are confused as to why Americans have screens on our windows and it’s really quite simple.

Bugs

Diseases carried by bugs

Other assorted wildlife such as dogs and teenagers

I GO THROUGH THIS CYCLE EVERY DAY

Guy who learns kung fu, then realizes kung fu can be defeated by MMA so he learns that, then realizes MMA can be defeated by guns so he buys one, then realizes that guns can be defeated by law enforcement so he becomes a lawyer, then realizes that the law can be overthrown so he becomes a paramilitary general, then realizes that naked force can be enveloped by ideology so he becomes a religious leader, then realizes that ideology is primarily determined by the means of production so he becomes an inventor, then realizes that successful invention requires a finely honed mind so he becomes a psychologist, then realizes that the mind is just part of the body so he learns kung fu

I can relate to some of this!

I'm such a hoarder, I steal just about everything from every home, including Grey Mothers (sorry ma'am!).

I also meander around the map for every quest because I want to prolong my Wintermute experience. When it comes to the last point though, I relate immensely. I try to save the metal shard from the crash as a fun keepsake.

I also have a small obsession with Mackenzie's parka. I try and save his other clothing items too, but the parka i keep on obsessively even if other items would keep me warmer. I just think it looks so cool! When I first killed the bear, I guess i hadn't monitored my clothes well enough because the parka got ruined! I was devastated, and now whenever I play I swear I sew up that thing every 5 minutes

Do other TLD Wintermute players also "abide by the rules", even if they are not a game mechanic?

Not stealing anything out of inhabited houses, even if the trust mechanic is not a thing (Grey Mothers House, Jeremiah etc). Use a tool, return it where it was

Actually trying to do quests that gaslight you into thinking you have a time limit as fast as you can. I dont care that it is the middle of the night, a snowstorm as well and the game additionally tricks me into thinking that the Old Bear does actually stalk me outside of cutscenes. I will go in the middle of the night and get back to Jeremiah. Not that I have anything to lose

I dont think it fits, but I did try to keep the plane crash items as long as possible, out of sentiments. Mainly clothing items, but also the metal shard

illegal immigration is swag and epic and i salute everyone who does it. personally i think if you can afford to move somewhere you should be allowed to live there no questions asked. actually even if you cant afford it, it's not like i can afford to live here either. who give a shit.
