Now everytime i remember Rost, i remember him saying: "Wherever you go i'll follow" 😞

Gotta love when scrap wood blocks a literal nuke rofl

Eventually you will trigger a quest that will turn the Brotherhood of Steel hostile, don't sweat it though as its trigger does not make them HATE you - only if you proceed with it and you will receive fair warning of the consequences prior to that, you can choose not to if you want. You'll be pretty close to "End Game" by that time. The game will make it seem "urgent" but you can choose to go off on a complete tangent of Attention Deficit Disorder for 25 years and everyone will wait for your new prescription to process.🤪

Sorry to say it but you won't enjoy the 2nd game with your phobia 😢 there are entire sections of the game that are underwater where you have to swim and avoid aquatic machines... or you can be brave and let it help you conquer your fears! You can do it you're stronger than you think you are! The game of thrones character comparison is a positive; Brienne is quite the honorable and genuinely good hearted person.

You can upgrade your Power armor legs and carry more weight. I don't know how high it goes but mine is currently 480.

There is a "Cannibal" perk on the perk poster. Eating people, ghouls, and super mutants restores your health.

If you give settlers and provisioners 1 bullet for their weapon, the game will treat it as if they have infinite ammo. Nice to see that you're still playing 😅

You just turned a good day into a great day 😊

Hooray, I thought this playthrough was dead

Thanks. You're one of the most entertaining players I've seen lately. Really enjoying this. :)

Yay ❤❤❤❤❤

Sorry to hear you're having difficulty easing into the combat system. I've never played myself so I'm unable to offer advice, but I bet you'll get it. "Did I go a little too high? I think I did... I'm a little tall." Welcome to what my pal Sam de Leve calls "extreme verticality" a leading cause of death among Aloys. Do be careful, but not too careful. Heights can contain secrets and lore and collectables. Hey look at that metal flower. I love the design of those. I wonder if they're for sale somewhere? Hey, no need to apologize to those NPC's you got killed... apologize to those NPC's you personally beat up because they were wearing a hood. ;) But honestly, even with the sloppiness, you did well.

Hi Yebba! I see you found your first vantage! They are a great look into the past! When you go into your notebook and the collectables, you can click on the vantage point in there to read more text about what that man is saying. You get MUCH more about it than just the little audio log. All 12 put together tell an interesting, somber story. 46:40 I have seen a concert here...awesome place.

very well done. fun episode to watch. seems your getting comfortable with your skill in combat. if you go into your menu and tab over to the notebook, there you'll find a pretty data base of machines you've scanned with very helpful information with tips on an approach to fighting machines. for example next time you run into a pack of grazers, shoot the blaze cannisters on their back with a fire arrow (maybe more than 1 grazer) and just sit back and watch!!

Brienne of Tarth was an honorable knight who never wavered. Definitely a favorable comparison.

The one's lit up in the armor cave can be set, the one's not lit up require power cells from all over the map. Worth it though - the armor is powerful.

Nice, you got the stealth armour. Its my fave in the early parts of HZD 😁

Another good episode. The reaearch into the combat mechanics definitely showing and paying off. The story is a bit thin on the ground in the early stages, but naturally it picks up as you progess. Just in case it feels abit... well, thin on the ground.

So you've met your first flying machine! They are, indeed, a pain in the ass until you get the hang of it. Don't worry, it was the same for everyone. Handy tip for the next time you meet one: the Ropecaster is your best friend against flying machines. Snag em, lash em to the ground, and go nuts on them. Yeah, it's yet one more thing to think about in a combat system you're still learning, but it really is a life saver.

you'll need to hunt animals to upgrade you bags

Nice to see how you dealt with the three camps and how you tried different methods of attack. I went through Zero Dawn for about 4 or 5 times but I have to admit, I discovered the advantages of stealth fight very late. To be honest, it was just in Horizon Forbidden West. 😂

Looks like you're definitely getting the hang of the combat system. You might not have realized this, but the training grounds keeper at Valleymeet is the brother of the second cousin of Crazy Myrna's grandpa from Fallout 4. 😁

Non-spoiler Recommendation: For machines that you cannot ambush so quickly, it's a good idea to invest in high-tear weapons... Then targeting the machine's weapons from cover as your first attacks until you've either destroyed the weapon or removed it. Cannot wait to see you take on a [redacted]!

you may want to try using more 'concentration' while aiming, it's a main mechanic of the game and makes your life /way/ easier :)

Yup, that’s Red Rocks

I was never a great shot, so I focused (no pun intended) on Sharpshot Bow (the long range sniper bow), the Tripcaster with blast wires (laying down multiple wires), and stealth. Some people may consider that boring and "not brave", but whatever gets the job done. 😁

I heard the same issues. The Combat on PC is more struggling then on the PS4. It wasn't optimised for PC when they ported it from PS4 -> PC. It is still an awesome game. The best armor of the game is a side quest by the way. Search for the 5 power cell quest. (No, it aint Jak and Daxter😂😂😂).

Don't worry about it you're great + the next game is ✖️5 better than this one💯❤️: the developers picked up on it too

Don't think I've ever seen that bar guy before. Must be a random event of some kind (or I just didn't hang around things that wanted to kill me often enough to find him).

Very cool, indeed!

another excellent episode. 1 thing this game does really well is gives you options on how on you wish to handle each machine. you've got traps, weak points different types of bows etc. there is no right way and no wrong way to play. might I suggest exploring them. 1 thing I would suggest and its something I do when a game starts to beat me up a bit, and that is do a play session or two where you just explore and grab collectibles and get into fights. you'll get experience on handling the different machines. either way your doing great.

I think you should reduce the difficulty by a lot. I consider myself completely out of form, because I got killed by a pack of 3 scrappers twice on Hard, and I had to reduce it to Normal. I still take more hits than I should, but I can play it now. I guess I'm just older. To think that I beat it three times on Ultra Hard, one of which without New Game + (keeping all the equipment and upgrades from a previous playthrough). Oh, and stay away from the Frozen Wilds area up north until you've gotten really good at the combat, because the enemies there are much, much tougher. Also if you go before the mission that takes you up to the entrance for that area, you will miss out on dialogue that Aloy won't know to ask about.

SAWTOOTH FRIEND! SAWTOOTH FRIE... Oh no. That is not responsible pet ownership!

Stalkers are the main reason I only played this once, despite it being one of my favourite games lol

With the right upgrades, the Rattler can be great for picking off lots of armour plating of the big machines before you go whack them with you spear, probably pretty handy for your playstyle 😀

Those times it seems like it won't shoot, it may be that you're letting go of the L2 trigger too soon.

Another awesomely entertaining episode! Congrats on your first cauldron. Hint: set traps before triggering the mini-boss in each one - makes it less frustrating.

Don't know if you've been doing this but be sure to kill some non-metallic animals from time to time, you can use them to upgrade your pouches and quivers

is this the upgraded version?

I am enjoying watching you play Horizon, but miss Fallout…

Another great playthrough. I have played this on a PC and keyboard/mouse while more accurate when aiming, it sucks with all the keys you need to use. I always play HZD with a PS4 controller, for which is what it was made. You will get better at aiming. Also, you are tickling the bigger machines with you spear. Please get used to heavy attacks, as light ones swipe and do nothing. Once again…very enjoyable job and keep up the good work!

Episode report card: Bow skills are improving. Continued practice recommended. Frustration can be mostly avoided by keeping a good distance from your foes. Yebba needs to spend more time studying machine weaknesses in her guide. With a little bit of analysis, fighting strategies will become apparent. Yebba continues to make progress, but leans too heavily on her spear. This strategy will not be as helpful in the near future. Very entertaining episode though.

I encourage you to check out the vantages that are on the map. There are 12 total. Each of them is at a real, historical landmark and there is a really nice story that goes along with them.

Love love love the cauldrons 🤩 They're even better in the sequel!

I really enjoyed that bit with your Sawtooth Companion - it was so Fallout 4, when you're lobbing a molotov or grenade and your companion decides to move in front of you at just the right moment to make it bounce back at you and kill you to death, obviously H:ZD learned from the best!😁

I absolutely love watching you play. Love you amazing bubbly personality. Love that you're playing yet another one of my favorite games. But disappointed that you haven't tried the different bows. Hunter's bows have different arrow sets from sharpshooter bows. Point is each bow type (hunter, sharpshooter, ect.) will have a different set of arrows to choose from. hope you stay healthy and safe and enjoy life to its fullest.. thank you for great content

2:27 😂😁

2:17 - "I need to... fuck you!" I laughed so hard that I'm glad I didn't have a drink right then, would have been coming out of my nose! Jokes aside, I used to absolutely hate Stalkers in my first playthrough of the first game. My second playthrough of the second game, I love hunting them. Would non-spoiler tips for fights with machines be welcome?
