Will MULEs die from a long fall if they're already unconscious? It was quite a fun little cliffside fight scene but I'm a little worried  (e) While I'm asking questions, are climbing rope end's positions saved and restored when I load the game/see someone else's? So many have been coiled up uselessly at the top of cliffs

They might not be programmed to die from heights, they don't really appear near any I don't think. It's tangential but I tried to push a mule truck into the tar with my truck and when I got within a certain distance of the tar, it seemed like the AI in the car suddenly pivoted and said "gently caress this I'm outta here" after like 3 minutes of not reacting to me ragdolling them. Outside a truck they also basically start to ignore you if you get near the tar.

I noticed that climbing ropes do not, unfortunately, seem to reliably save their endpoints at the bottom of the cliff. I've run into a few that were extended but yes, most of them were just sat at the top of the cliff.

Pretty annoying, definitely reduces my motivation to put em down for future use since there's half a chance I won't be able to climb back up. When I do climb em or put em down I've even specifically thrown the rope down to make sure it's accessible.night slime posted:They might not be programmed to die from heights, they don't really appear near any I don't think.

Lake Knot distro center and the Junk Dealer, and they came over such a wide area that the fight ended up moving to one of those canyons. One of them fell in after I socked em one, and I think it was one of the two with stars in my pic, but I'm just not suuuure speaking of which area, what the hell was up with the otter thing

You'll know if you kill one. I somehow killed one by hitting him with my trike and one of the NPCs immediately told me I needed to incinerate the body.

Chapter 6 spoilers Did I miss something with Sam starting to call BB "Lou"? I'm in Chapter 8 now so I understand the choice of name but the first time I remember him using the name was in the cutscene where Deadman takes Lou and I was really confused for a moment. I feel like I missed a line in an earlier chapter where Sam said "y'know I think I'm going to call you Lou" or similar.

Beat the game spoilers: so we establish that I'm BB via some time travel shenanigans, which begs the question who the hell is Louise? Was I actually in the Manhattan void out and it's my unborn daughter?

Mr. Crow posted:Beat the game spoilers: You're not the BB Sam carries around, there's no time travel involved. The flashbacks that Sam and Deadman assumed were Lou's memories were actually Sam's memories, Sam was originally an early BB. Cliff tried to rescue him from Bridges and got killed, Sam-as-a-BB died in the conflict, and President Strand brought baby Sam back to life, turning him into a repatriate and, it's implied, initiating or accelerating a lot of the death stranding phenomena. I'm not too clear on that last part, that was what I got out of it.

In the game's Community hub on Steam, there's a guide that solely mentions climbing rope etiquette because it's so bad. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2347396931 Basically, whenever you get to the top of a rope, face away from the edge and let go. Sam will fling it back behind him.

It's a bit of a drag we don't to get find out who she actually is but considering what would have happened if Sam didn't run away with her she is probably better off.

I have noticed that but they still seem to be quite finnicky, I have had a few of mine just.. not save that state apparently. Really I wish you could set a top and bottom anchor point for them. And perhaps daisy chain them together. And also that they were actually needed, but, y'know.

Ladders have always seemed too damned short to be useful 99% of the time I still bring one on every trip though because when I don't it guarantees that one in a hundred gap-I-can't-jump  (e) Just got to ep5, and seems I unlocked zip lines. Are there any more major toys or mechanics coming that'd compel me to continue on the story, or is it road-building time

Once you get the level 2 PCC that is all the structures I think, but the main reason why it isn't road building time is because you just got ziplines which are basically better Build one across the waterfall basin from cliff to cliff, it's fun.

I'm doing the roads first not because of any good reason, but because I gotta imagine those zips are doing horrible things to poor Sam's right arm Question, is there any better way to farm chiral crystals than to go get caught by a BT and reversal-of-fortune the boss?

Yeah, at a certain point I just got in the habit of claiming them if some place had more than 200 of them. The exception was places like Distribution Center South of Lake Knot City and Mountain Knot since those were the places I usually fabricated equipment or did some backpack customization, so I didn't have to bother with recycling chiral crystals.

There was a private room nearby and the BT boss respawned almost instantly after defeat, I forget if it it had anything to do with the amulet I was wearing though,

What are you guys doing that you need to farm crystals? I found the main bottleneck for building roads to be ceramics. Any time I started getting low on crystals I just made a point of stopping to pick them up in the wild a little more often until I was good again.

yeah the problem went away once I realized how huge all the preppers' stockpiles had gotten loving ceramics though. I think I finished the road; Lake & South Knot are connected end to end, and I assume there's no other highways (right?), so I started on the ziplines  man that ride is gonna kick rear end once i get a tower on the other side

I just finished the second walk back to Mountain Knot, starting at South Knot, at the end of ep5; on the way I passed by the last paver next to Mountain Knot and literally said "loving excuse me?" out loud That was a real strange couple of non sequiturs at the end there, plotwise; I suspect I've seen nothing yet, but still. Start of ep6 rip Mama, but at least they sort-of explained why she died when I arrived. But where the gently caress did "Lou" come from  and speaking of Lou, I already do not like the gimmick they've started the episode out with
