Far Cry Primal: Your Village Called

Warning Spoilers
 

Recruiting new specialists was the next essential step towards more upgrades. This meant venturing a little further out towards slightly tougher areas. I gained a cave lion companion in a desperate but effective attempt at not being eaten. Cave kitty is stronger than Wolfie and a rather terrifying walking companion. I’m not sure it’s ominous growls mean anything and beasts now sneak up on me more often. Hunting is easier though.

Pissing seems a bit of a theme in this game. I got peed on by one armed cave dweller Wogah the Crafter. He called me “piss man” and ran off chortling all the way. “Oh just wait until I get out of this baffling jaguar infested cave” I thought. I forgave him when I found the grappling hook. Yeah okay seems sketchy but its a game after all and we need cool gear and fun things to do. I’m sure you don’t need two arms to construct one either.

Then there was sarcastic hunter Jayma who called me “mammoth feet” and sent me off after (shudder) a bear. I was sure I was going to die a thousand times on this mission but to my shock it was a shy bear and ran away. Cave kitty and a few spears took it down first try. Jayma still made fun of me but I built her a village hut anyway. Jayma and Wogah made hyper hunter Karoosh look sane by comparison. He has bones to pick and I am all in with him on that.

My village has expanded to 49 members and kids are running around now. I don’t why but this pleases me. Random villagers give me tasks now so thankfully I can continue methodically working through the map not so far from home.

The crafting and skill menus have expanded greatly and I am even more indecisive about investing skill points. I decided that I should just pick what ever I like. I wanted to ride a mammoth. It turns out that there is a mission that requires it anyway. I won’t win any obstacle courses but it was kind of fun. I’ll find out about mounted combat once I do the mission.
