Hobbit. Man, that was intense!

20:46 - it's a real cabin, and better than the refuge cabins, just have no conventional way to enter. 😜

It would be cool if they had a werewolf in the game as an optional toggle. Have it be the same mechanics as the cougar but harder to kill/only forged silver bullets can kill it. And if you get bit during a confrontation, there's a whole lycanthropy mechanic of trying to find the cure with rare wolfsbane flowers, or else you'll permanently be a werewolf. It could have its own pros and cons like wolves now permanently fear you/respect you, higher hunger drain but lower stamina drain, but during the full moon/aurora borealis you'll wake up the next morning in a random location next to a carcass, and your clothes are ripped/dropped if you didn't prepare accordingly. I feel like that would create a lot of dynamic and fun play throughs.

I think a better way to implement the cougar would be to add "cougar territory" or "hunting grounds" to certain parts of the game based on tree/rock/hill density, so an area like coastal highway would have alot more cougar territory than say pleasant valley, this also would also give a much needed (in my opinion) difficultly buff to regions like coastal highway as you would now have a far more stealthy predator to worry about, Maybe include environmental clues, something like a ravaged moose or wolf carcass to the areas to show that your entering its territory and your no longer on top of the food chain there. Also make it a physical part of the game and give it silent footsteps and have it make no noises before attacking, but make a craftable mask out of birch bark or something that takes up the hat slot that will give you a decreased chance of being attacked (think of the masks that people wear in india to stave off tiger attacks). And when it does get spotted make it charge you so that you have little time to react by equiping/aiming your rifle or bow. This wouldve been a far better way to implement the cougar rather than making it a furry homing missle.

Now we know why it took so long for this part of the update to come out, the developers had to convince every single freakin timberwolf in blackrock and bleak inlet to move in to this new region, i wonder what kind of deal they settled on lol.

This region will be known for its massive amount of timberwolves instead of its temperatures. Not sure if it's what Hinterland was aiming for, but yeah.

20:45 the cabin you're looking at is the one my 643 day stalker runs character is stuck in because I was curious enough to climb the snow onto the roof then to the lil part sticking out in front of the door, I then thought hey can I make a campfire here and heat up some coffees? Yes you can then as I'm going to move coffees around I notice an option that says cabin so I click on it. For anyone who kept reading this far don't click on it I'm now stuck in that cabin, that was my best run I had basically every bit of special/unique loot, had multiple strong bases outside my main in ML, guess I'll never get that gold nugget back to base this was the first run I found it on and I've put 1500 hours in this game. My heart hurts it would've been better if I died because now there's a cheat death mechanic, if I die in the snowed in cabin I probably can't get my stuff back

Has anyone had a problem with the “cougar approaching” countdown not resetting between regions? I’m playing on Xbox one and I’m on pilgrim, cougar showed up after being in a region for three days twice now, then went from transfer pass to sundered pass but now he’s just….following me I guess 😂

Thanks a lot for this playthrough and congratulations for the chance and honour to have early access to this. Though, it was more reminiscent of the Hobbits crossing the Caradhras Pass rather than Weathertop. ;-) Now I'm looking forward to check it out on my Stalker run. It is an interesting region and it fits to the rather...wide and empty regions of the Far Territory. I'm not the biggest fan of the timberwolves, but it makes sense that the Far Territory has a timberwolf region, too and at least they seem to be confined to that avalanche plateau.

Much of this comment section here is proof that people will complain bitterly about anything because it doesnt align with their uninformed and preconceived opinions about game development, or that games should be whatever they want or else they are 'bad.' This is meant to be a new and unique challenge, and it is. This mechanic is unlike any other game I have played, and adds a unique set of decisions for players. Don't like it? Then don't use it, but keep the complaining to minimal and civilized amount please lol. I suspect that certain people increasingly think if they whine enough then devs will change their game for a negative vocal minority. That would be bad game development.

3:46 - Well there at least one diference, in regular Interloper prepper bunkers have no loot, in custom Interloper at least one on these new bunkers have full loot.

9:05 - This spawn is basically the same of get into the new region coming from Transfer Pass - if choose high path, there's one lower, both still on Transfer Pass. Problem in spawn in this map is the the cold interior of cabins, huge distances between then and scarce firewood around, specially in the upper level.

Your telling me that the cougar can somehow sneak up onto me in a open field while i scan my surroundings like a light house without me being able to shoot it before it attacks me pretty dumb i hope they wont keep it this way since i find it pretty stupid that i cant kill it before it tries to come give me hugs

Thanks for the vid zack, looks extremely difficult in this region

Did you miss a container at about 1:17:35

For those who are wondering, I myself am a vegan but if I were in a survival situation I would do whatever I needed to do to survive. Animals wouldn’t be my first priority but I would resort to hunting if I needed to.

I'm dyin'! 😂 all those timbies, then a bear shows up 😂😂😂

I've not played TLR for over 14 months... I may come back.

Will you be doing another full recap of all the updates? It would be nice for us switch players whenever that finally releases 🥲 we haven’t even seen the dlc yet

Once you lit the stove in the cabin...why didn't you make water, eat cat tails, drink an herbal tea and SLEEP in the warmth a few hours then get up and take a torch?? Then you might have lived longer??

Im korean now. Surviving is easier for koreans cuz they smol but food stays the same size.

Thx for the video i was rly waiting for that

They added a crazy new feat to the update Its called "Big Cat Killer" And the buff... sounds crazy And another one that makes you IMMUNE to Cabin Fever

Wild cougars in the area want to know your location. ;)

That broken bridge jump attempt cracked me up so hard! Fun stuff, Zak. 😊

I'm not a fan of the cougar mechanics at all but it's probably hardly surprising considering all the other comments on this video or anywhere else. This update is disappointing but I think it also shows a bigger trend within the Hinterland studio. TLD is one of my absolute favourites in the survival genre because it does so many things right and is truly one of a kind game. However, the development process of the game constantly leaves me scratching my head. I understand that TLD is a huge game and requires a lot of time and effort to get things right, I really do. What I don't understand is why the developers keep pushing updates that are terrible and will require loads of tweaking if not a complete overhaul. After more than 10 years in the development, I would think the developers knew what makes their game immersive, fun and challenging. And the concerning thing is, they probably do, but they push out updates like this anyway. It's a spit in the face to the fans that have been supporting and playing their game for as long as they did. Since they went the "horror" route on the cougar update, let's compare it to horror games. Some of the most important things that make horror games good is the feeling of dread, paranoia and tension. The unavoidable cougar struggle is a cheap and low effort jumpscare that doesn't even work because the UI tells the player to keep expecting it. As for the gameplay aspect, the mechanics are so out of place I can't wrap my head around it. There's no test of skill or challenge whatsoever, it feels like a nuisance or forced punishment that doesn't even offer any worthwhile rewards. Imagine if any other game had this mechanic: you gear up to fight a strong enemy, start wandering around and waiting for them to show up, they teleport on top of you out of nowhere lowering your health to 30% and then turn around giving you an opportunity to move your mouse and with a single left click kill them instantly. Oh, but it's also permadeath that could erase hundreds of hours of progress and the rewards are a hat and a knife that are slightly better than what you already have. Casual players will disable the mechanic altogether while hardcore players will kill one or two cougars for sport and then naturally avoid them for the rest of their playthroughs. This is probably one of the most anticipated and at the same time laziest updates this game has ever seen.

w...top what 🤔 I really don't know that word 😅 and yes I like Hobbit movies ... I hope somewhen we get a cookie for that 🤣 good night ...

Thanks for a good vid as always! I just got sick and was so happy when i saw it’s 4 hours long. Say Hi to the hobbits at the weather top!

I think the FPS drops you have are from the Timerberwolves. I got these in Bleak Inlet for example, too, even before the update and whenever the Wolves are aggro. Either the AI computation for the wolves is really taxing or the HUD overlay at the bottom of the screen is just very unoptimized.

Just a thought. Can you travel out of the Sundered region and collect better gear ,food and torches then go into this region?

"On my Wintertop run, I met a hobit named D.H.Dunn. His feet were hairy and he called me Barry." :D

The best way to avoid cougars is to not go into bars on ladies night
