Playing this a couple of days and feck I gotta say I am loving it. Just F-ing loving it.
Recently upgraded my machine (pc version) so I have the gfx settings on ultra and everything is just amazing. I heard "Skyrim with guns" mentioned somewhere. Could have been this thread. TBH, Skyrim has nothing on this game in some ways. The characters in FC3 are so much better. The voice acting is so much more real.
Gameplay is excellent. So many ways to kill an enemy. Go in with guns blazing if you wish. Take them down silently. Use the wildlife to give you a hand. Bow & Arrows? (personally not very fond of but I can see the attraction to some)
The characters actually look different... This I found very annoying in Skyrim / Oblivion etc.. Now this is not always the case for random characters who appear when you take out a stronghold but that's to be expected.
The soundtrack too. It's epic. I'm still fairly early in the game. (burning out some weed fields at the moment) but once I got close the music kicked in and I was seriously loving it. I sat crouched in a hut and just listened for a bit. Great.
I take my time with RPGs. Always have. I started the first few missions and just went off on the side track. Did a few side missions. Hunted a few relics. Upgraded most of my gear to the rare set or close enough. Back on main quest now to get more skills.
I'll update my final thoughts when I finish it which could be a while.
Someone a few posts up is on about wildlife while getting close to a stronghold. I love this about the game. Sitting there scouting out the area. Suddenly a roar from behind. Already I know its fubar. At this range its really only the shotgun that's gonna take it out quick enough unless its a dog. But the shotgun will let everyone know I'm there. DOH.
As scwazrh said. Animal repellent if it really gets to you. That or just scout more before you approach a stronghold.
Now, back to the epic music

I have no idea what you are even talking about. But I am excited none the less. Am I in for a let down? The only thing that does annoy me is fall damage. No prob when it's a decent height. But there are times I lose 2 bars for a single feckin step...
The wingsuit is unlocked when you reach the south island. It's basically a personal hand glider you can deploy whenever you want As for the falls, there is a skill that will reduce the damage you take from them.
Just customised the Z93 sniper rifle with a silencer, high power scope and extended mag. It's an absolute beast of a weapon. Add in the Touch of Death stims and it's the only tool needed for camp clearing 0 -

Z93? Is that a sig weapon? Or do the weapons change in later game? I know I move to different islands (dunno if I can come back yet??, I've not looked into it)
My main two weapons of choice at the moment are the MS16 with suppressor and optical sight and the M-700 with
HP scope and suppressor. Others are a shotgun and last is whatever takes my fancy. Currently a GL-94 for boom boom on those missions where I don't give a rats about being stealthy.0 -

There is a customised version of the Z93 that's a signature weapon but the basic Z93 is unlocked with another 7 weapons once you reach south island. And yes, you can travel between the islands once you get there.
Sweet. Don't need to worry about getting all relics etc.. before leaving. Cheers m8. And more weapons. Makes me a happy man 0 -

It's well worth picking up the relics just for the recipes you get. 30 relics will unlock the Untouchable syringe which is 30 seconds of invincibility, and 40 relics will unlock touch of death which is 30 seconds of one shot kills They both require a serious amount of plants to craft but just having one or both in your possession can turn the tide of any shootout if things go pear shaped. 0 -

Good thing to know. tbh, thus far I've found the game easy to some degree. Maybe stealthing around is op.. i dunno but doing so, i've found it very easy to take out any base. Now I'm still on the first island so maybe things will change later. But I just came across my first base with two heavy guards that took me a while to figure out how to kill silently. (also great fun figuring it out) Even got pi$$ed at it at one point. But that was also due to a ganking tiger hanging around. :pac:
But it's good to know that herbalism (sorry, wow head) comes in handy later. So far its been green herbs all the way unless I had to bow shoot a hunter quest.0 -
