I wish dock A in black lake had a bed cause I can't get myself to NOT go there as the sun is setting, and I inevitably end up having to wait out the night for like 20mins cause going outside in such an open space at nighttime without NVGs is practically begging to get killed by wildlife or some stalker in the dark
other than that I'm really liking the game, I'm starting to get some decent weapons but I haven't been very lucky with wearables yet
still stuck with an armor that kinda sucks against bullets and a helmet without a hud
yesterday I got scammed into buying a wearable creepy deer skull with good stats but a hidden debuff for 3000-something dollars (that could only be sold for 666$)
then I just randomly found a 4000-something bucks gold chain while digging in a graveyard, I got attacked by an anomaly in the same graveyard and my character started tweaking holding his head between his hands (I poked around steam guides after that and I learned that what I was suffering from was "just" nearly maxed out mental fatigue that makes you hallucinate sounds and whatnot)
also I figured out quite late that I should've NOT used nearly all the weapons I looted off bodies for trading, and it would've likely been better to just sell them for money
sure trading seems to net you some rare items and weapons sometimes, but shops have wider selections of things and you'll eventually need to hit them for medical supplies and ammo
anyway yesterday I looted a crazy good semiauto rifle with a good scope and a suppressed sniper which I never used yet cause it's really heavy and has no zoom
I'm really really liking this game
while poking around steam guides I also learned that once you rack up a LOT of money you can invest it all on an eather-flux scanner and start hunting for artifacts inside of or around anomalies, and you can sell most of them for around 1000$ at the right trader (or you can just use them yourself for some wild effects)
update: while the game does run surprisingly great at near-maxed out graphics on my lowly 1650, it does crash from time to time by running out of vram
I tried messing with the graphics settings to lower the vram usage but weirdly enough nothing seems to change that? maybe I need to restart the game cause "excess" vram doesn't get deallocated until the game is restarted? so for the time being I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping the crashes don't come too often
I should seriously start thinking about a gpu upgrade sometime
a couple contracts and a whole bunch of sold weapons later, I finally have enough money to afford night vision goggles
no longer I shall fear the night
..and when I go to check the trader that sells the nvgs, obviously they don't have them in stock
guess I'll have to check again on daily trader refreshes
