anything where you have to transport >330kg to a place not easily reachable by truck is going to involve walking (with floating carriers) I was only strictly required to do that ~twice, but the quests are out there

Could always take small loads back and forth with a zip line, as long as you don't have to travel more than 700m or whatever the despawning distance exactly is. And you could just slap a mailbox down to ensure it doesn't happen.

How does the whole friending system in this game work? Can you strand up with people on your friends list or is it always randos? My wife started another game under a different account name, could we put those together and do double duty on roads?

Triarii posted:As demonstrated in that video though, you can create BTs anywhere you please by leaving a dead body there. The video doesn't show what happens after the ensuing voidout but I'm guessing they just don't leave craters for practical reasons. You just get a game over if a voidout happens.

Thundercracker posted:Ahh, totally forgot about that bit. A lot was happening during the end exposition dumps. I don't think they every explicitly spell it out. But it probably something to do with how time works on the beach and it's leaking into the physical world along with the BTs? Seems like a good enough explanation.

I beat the game and want to make sure I understand one of the plot points at the end (big endgame spoiler DO NOT READ if you aren't done) Your BB turns out to just be some random BB, right? It isn't Cliff's baby after all? Or are you carrying yourself around in baby form the whole game? I'm guessing not since I assume "Louise" means the baby is a girl. And then if that's the case, why does Cliff spend the first few encounters hunting down BB instead of you? In the WWII beach, he's explicitly hunting down Deadman because he's carrying the BB, if I'm remembering it right. And the cutscene at the end of the game seems to imply that Cliff is cool with Amelie taking care of his baby, so what sets him off on his revenge quest anyway? Just sort of general ghost PTSD?

You're not really seeing a rational Cliff until the Vietnam scene end where some part of Cliff obviously realizes the truth.

Man. I can definitely play a Strandlike or a Death Stranding 2 (with maybe a whole new story and setting Final Fantasy style). Like, this is my GOTY for sure but I'd love more options and vehicles in the game, plus more hazards and obstacles. Bigger and more insane deliveries. Basically more stuff. Like, imagine Death Stranding + Stalker. Trying to deliver packages while avoiding anomalies and wild beasts. I really hope that just like P.T. it spawns a new genre. Which is super funny considering P.T. itself inspired a huge wave of horror walking simulators.

There’s a mission to get from the engineer to the weather station with 16 large packages totalling 588 kg with a timer. I have no idea how to S rank the premium. Highwaying it as close as possible then jumping back and forth a few times on a zipline from the road to the station took over 8 minutes which is only an A. Maybe I should just make a bunch of bridges and power the truck up.

You should be able to drive up the hill on the Timefall Farm side, can't see it taking more than 3-4 minutes tops.

I think it was definitely trying to get you to think BB-28 was Sam though right up to the end. Oh I spoke clumsily: I didn't mean that Deadman was his target, just that he targeted him initially with the cyclone on the mountain because he had BB. If he knew that Sam was his son, he would have just hit Sam again, but as you say, once Deadman hands off BB he shifts his sights again.

“Is that a package, or are you just happy to see me?” Fragile asked, as she walked sexily onto Sam’s room “It is a package. And it’s got your name written all over it” he replied, sexily.

I fully expect a lot of the mechanics in this game to show up in a few years in other big titles. Just like how Ocarina of time and many other late 90s games had sneaking levels exactly like metal gear.

I didn't say solid, and I think (based on no research) it was the first game where there's a maze and you have to pay attention to guard's paths and which direction they are looking, 1987

I have seen it clear up so you can safely traverse it, but most of the time you'll definitely run into BT's there. Rebuild the road south from the Distribution Center South of Lake Knot City until it swings east over the river, drive south onto the dirt, then look west and you'll see a nice safe slope that goes right up to the front door of the Weather Station. Might need a bridge to make getting to it easier if someone hasn't set one up already, but it's a safe route. CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:I was very pleased with myself when I managed to slam a single zipline near the middle of that forest so I could zip through it. When you're at the top of the cliff facing the Wind Farm, set a Zipline up on the ledge to your right where it raises up bit on rough terrain (it should still have LOS down the hill from here). Upgrade it to Lvl 2. You can drop a receiving station right at the border of the Wind Farm for a straight line to the front door. and bypass the BT's altogether.
