Erewhon' Bivouac (What did you do in GR:B today) (spoilers)

???

Anyways onto doing a side mission 'A Sane New World'. Quite an interesting set up actually. Apparently went to this really crazy psych ward in Inifinity Province where the Doctor just might be more insane then any of the inmates! There was one of them though who started acting like a robot in...everything really...thought they were a robot...so I decided to kill them to see if I got the Civillian Killed warning...I did.

I also tried to swim across a sort of moat area in the Skell Security Office when I got there and then had to climb out the other side. But it wouldn't let me at first so I had to go swim way down the other side. It is actually shocking how big that little area is. Got into a bit of a fight but then retreated when I found the information and ended up rolling my buggy and getting myself killed thne killed by a Wolf Patrol.

Found the guy and he told me I needed to erase him from the Sentinel Database...so I have to go into a Wolf base undetected. Oh this should be fun.

name of a quest or you kill someone you weren't supposed to?

Name of a quest.

So lets see here I actually was able to get two of the faction tiers unlocked last night. Did both of the EFMs last night, including Anexation for the Outcasts and I think maybe another round of Extrajudicial revenge. Yeah that was it for the Outcasts.

Then stole a truck and rescued a prisoner real fast.

The truck stealing is always fun little missions. I cleared out some of the area, area I was already, so I was going through and just cleared out the area around the thing...easy peasy, just enough so I wouldn't be seen stealing the truck. But of course I was spotted on the road...and then I drove the truck up a tree. With them following me. Got out, grenaded one vehicle and the other killed the drive and the passenger, then knocked the truck off with the second buggy before turning it in.

So grinding more faction missions for everyone, another case of Extrajudicial revenge.

This time it didn't go as well. I ended up raising the alarm but fortunately the guy was obliging enough to come chase me in the woods which gave me a rather nice follow up shot.

And I still haven't cleared out Anderson Farm yet. Dark Ages was there but I was getting tired so I did the mission, but still haven't found the credits.

So tried out the raid...and it didn't go too well at all. I mean had a bit of fun with the second group and things were seemingly going pretty good....and then the actual Titan fight...it seems to have a shield or something? Then the group dissolved and I was kicked back out to having to look for intel which then led to me having a constant death loop...it was pretty frustrating.

I should've figured that 'the Arrow' was someone's main base...and it ended up being Flycatcher's. Locked behind a coded door, had to be pretty even about going through the area, did it pretty sneakily...until the end. But since I found the code as soon as I opened the door there was Flycatcher glitching out running into said door...and well I put a burst into him with my P90. Which Flycatcher's P90 is one of the best guns in the game it seems...it has a single shot mode! I was actually surprised because it seems like the Mk.48 (an LMG) does not actually do the damage of a P90 with a larger clip size and larger bullets...but then it occured to me...ROF. And it does have a pretty decent clip size, but combine this with the High Velocity armor piercing rounds and this gun is so much better then either of the two other bosses special weapons.

Anyways also did Silverback and that was a cool little base, kind of looked like a missle silo but I don't think it was... I was actually able to set a bit of an ambush for a lot of the Wolves by the generator and was able to kill off waves of them coming to me. It was fun having to crawl up to him on the catwalks, a bit of a fun little mission overall.

I do not like that the battlerewards reset, but ah well.

Shame is the only thing that even looks worth it is the 553 shorty for this battle rewards system. Ah well it is actually kind of good with me thinking about wrapping up the game soon anyways.

In that vein though I did...I think two missions last night? The latest faction mission for the Homesteaders 'rescuing' Doctor Ballard. Bit frustrating because when I...failed it...twice it reset me all the way to the beginning of clearing out the base. First time Ballard died second time seems the Wolves that come for you can really pack a punch. But the final time I did it it was rather hillarious because I had killed a civvie earlier and there was TWO of them that were just cowering and flailing about right in front of me as I got into a massive fire fight with Sentinel soldiers, had quite the choke point for them but they just would NOT move. They made it through unscathed somehow and it was just pretty amusing in hindsight. Also really love the Flycatcher P90 since it can punch through the heavy armor of the Heavies.

Second mission, was just Home Invasion...really short mission.

Hmm, I'm not sure if I have that side mission. Check on it later tonight after work. For my own part I got my chapka today for doing the russian Connection mission. I don't recall the missions name right now. Then weapons of revenge and am set to finish Critical mass for the Stoner blueprint after work.

Now that they haver decided to give out chapter one and two battle rewards to every player I don't think i will do to many faction missions until chapter three when hopefully the bugs are ironed out.

Finished Firepower and whew...that base. 30+ sentinels, 2 Aym, 3 murmur type another 3 from drone operator. And then of course the Big one. And then there were at least five patrols near enough to be aggroed by the Behemoths mortars. A lot of running and dodging later I prevailed! I also got my Indie Jones shirt! I have seven more side missions but there are a few I haven't discovered yet. Tomorrow though I have to go to golem island.

I like how military your character looks, mine looks all...well you know. But good job. I like the Indie Jones shirt but I think when/if I get around to playing a female character she is going to be in short sleeves and rambo like...or Snake...

So yeah I got a fair bit done today lets just say .

First off I tried again to get that stupid refrigeration mission with the truck...and yeah...this time instead of getting it stuck I drove it off a cliff, and then got it stuck on a rock. So that ended really well.

Started trying to clearing out more of the Wolf bases and random points of interest across the map. First area was right smack dab next to a level 250 Wolf base...which is still dangerous for me. I got through that pretty OK but then three of those drone things started surrounding the tower i was in, which led to an amazing game of cat and mouse between me and them...which I won. Second level 250 base I didn't have as much luck at. I fell off the mountain the first time and second time I died the *normal* way.

Which brings me to my book keeping conversations wrapping some of those up talking to people and shit.

First off Hurhai Ito...I like ya gal but the convo I had with her annoyed me a bit. Where she basically was like 'we weren't terrorists...we were social activists trying to warn people!' If you go blow something up to draw attention to yourself and make a point that pretty much is the definition of a terrorist, especially since it wasn't a 'legitimate military target'. Don't hide from it, don't run from it, own it. Admit it. And if you think it was a mistake and are willing to go on and try and be better...as the faction missions indiacte they are actually doing...then I will work with you But trying to run from it and deny it is not a good sign that you have learned from it...because if you are still terrorists is a good way for my Nomad to NOT work with you.

And then with Paula. I was pleasently surprised to find out I actually got to talk to her in Erewhon and ran through all of her dialogue in one sitting. It was really nice going through things with her. More of the constant regret that this game has exhibited throughout the conversation with a hole bunch of people. But it was also really interesting hearing her take on all the tech and concepts of this game. Like the 3D printing...the drones that will replace Bee polinization (and what became the drone perimeter). But also commentary on transhumanism and the rest. Honestly I feel like this was just Ubi explaining things for the people who may not be following along with it. But it was really good bumping into Paula again. They even referenced the whole 'road to hell is paved with good intentions' thing.

With all that done time to start the end game.

Which I guess the only thing I can talk about without spoiling IS the boss fight. Though 'Point of No Return' was a bit on the nose...and Friendly Fire was pretty sad Correcta.

But that boss fight was so stupid and unnessessary, another black mark against this game. Just...stupid. It was bad enough to give Walker super powered drones but...the waves of infinite wolves. Took me a guide to figure it out...and I was playing on regular for christ sake...can't imagine this fight on extreme.

Oh yeah and the Walker fight on extreme is uh hard. And his goddamn last bullet in the Deagle.
