Just started my first, proper, play through (My other playthrough's, were just a half hearted attempts to play the game, and learn the controls). I started as a Kaumo hunter, with a juniper bow and a spear (I also started with a battleaxe, but I sucked at axe's, and it couldn't fell trees, so I sold it).
I started right next to a Driik village (Right at their northern border and under njerpez territory
), and decided to climb up a tree to check what animals were in the area, and discovered that I WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOREST REINDEER HERD (seriously, I saw two reindeers, just taking a stroll
inside the village (note: driikilais do not keep reindeers as pets)) I then started
shopping hunting with me bow and arrow, and got my first reindeer (WOO!). I then proceeded to skin and butcher the carcass and started tanning the hide and smoking the meat (in a little sauna that the villagers were
so kind to lend me), where I also spent my nights.
The rest of the days were similar, and I have, so far, bagged 3 reindeer's, they are actually quite easy to hunt, if you've got a good tracking skill, simply sneak up to it, fire a few shots at it, and then follow the tracks as it runs away, you'll get it eventually
. Then I remembered that I actually have a course to do, and now I'm (ironically) stuck at the encounter animal part, because the damn game won't register that I've encountered and killed multiple animals, and a human, who I accidentally recruited when I asked him for help,. I then killed him, stole my stuff back (which I sold to him previously for a handaxe), butchered his corpse and sold it to the villagers (because while I refuse to eat human meat, I have no qualms selling it to stupid peasants ).
