Let's play: Unreal World RPG! Let's get fishing. (Part 2)

Our journey so far has us moving from our starting point north west to a town which we hoped would hold delicious treasure....but it didn't, and all of the shops in this town really sucked. There's absolutely nothing left for us here, so we continue going north west!

Another town! Thank god because Bartleby is starting to get exhausted. And even if the town doesn't have what we're looking for, he still needs to lay down and take a nap.

A fishing shop! ....It has absolutely no fishing equipment at all. Bartleby, you may be fucked at this point. To the south there's a bunch of different islander villages, so I'm thinking Bartleby might have more luck finding fishing equipment there....OFF WE GO!

On the way to the islander's village, Bartleby stumbled across a small grouping of settlements! Hooray! And in these settlements were shops! HOORAY! AND THEY FINALLY HAD FISHING SHOPS OH GOD YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE BARTLEBY!

Bartleby is now the proud owner of a fishing rod! Which is most excellent! The primary objective for him should now be locating a river. It would be way better if he managed to stumble upon like...20-30 nets, because then we could make a nice huge net line in some river, but that's not going to happen.

Bartleby makes the trip to the south east, and upon encountering a large body of water decides that it's time to stop for the day...He needs to prepare a large amount of food for eating, because his other provisions ran out. The body of water where he is stopped is fairly nice, and is only a short distance from a town to the west.

Good news! Bartleby is literally the worst fucking fisherman who ever did live. No kidding, he spent literally two days of solid fishing and caught 1 fish...Which was less than one pound. He had to build himself an emergency shelter to avoid dying in the rain! We sure did pick the right lifestyle for him to live...

Let's play: Unreal World RPG! A taste of things to come. (Part 1)

Every so often one feels the call....The call of the wild! You just can't resist the urge to go out and hike and kill a fucking bear or something! But since I'm a huge nerd and the wildlife would likely eat me, I have to settle for this: Unreal world.

Unreal world RPG puts you in the shoes of an iron age Finnish (or some such Scandinavian descendant) whose only goal is: Survival. I have played this game a few times in the past, and it has always ended in me becoming a huge cannibal. I'd end up raiding towns and living off of their delicious human meats. So this time we will try to avoid that. Try.

Ah yes, Bartleby the Reemilainen...Whatever that is. It said something about fishing and I think that's how I'm going to aim to survive.

Bartleby is a very average guy, except for the fact that he's scared to death of cats. Which may come to bite us in the ass if we encounter any wild kitties.

And as you can see Bartleby is actually mostly shit at everything. I pumped his fishing up as much as possible, but I'm not sure it's going to help. So in all he has boosted the skills: Cooking, fishing, survival, climbing and axe.

Bartleby is going to be starting near the Sartola tribe...This place looks pretty decent to me, it's not too far north and not too far south, so hopefully we'll get some good fishing. Also if it goes down where we're not having a good time, we can always book it to the ocean. Also, we're picking the unreal world scenario. Woo.

Aaand here's my starting equipment...No fishing gear, looks like we're hunter after all.

An Elk in the distance! We could totally fuck up an Elk and then eat his meats for like, ever!

We basically have one chance to shoot this little bastard before he runs away. Since we're such absolute crap at tracking, it's likely that he will run away and make me cry....Let's make this shot count.

Fuck

Well that didn't go well, going to run this bastard down! Well I lost it's trail pretty quickly...These Elk things are fast, I'm going to need to find some smaller game.

Awwww yiss! We ran down a reindeer! Holy crap, I got a nice shot in his torso, and was able to track him by the blood trail....Now I'm going to EAT HIM.

Yeeeeeeeees! Now I can use these cuts that I got to get me some fishing equipment...If I can find a freaking town. We're moving west from here in order to find some kind of settlement, and if we're lucky they'll have some fishing gear...If not, we'll kill and eat a few of them. WHAT? THIS IS SURVIVAL!

Our first village...And thank god, I kept falling out of trees trying to find this place. They had one shop, which was a grains shop, which is literally useless to us at this point. The good news is though, that we can use a town like this as a staging point to find bigger and better things. So in part 1 of our adventure we were able to secure both food and temporary shelter, and our long term goals are going to be to establish a long-term base camp and to refine our ability to catch fish! WOOHOOO
