Just died in #TheLongDark in a 205-day save I've played since September. I was going for Faithful Cartographer, with 69% of the world explored. My first meaningful death in TLD happened on the stupid trestle bridge. 7 atbildes

I explored the entire Ash Canyon. I scaled Timberwolf Mountain. I mapped every nook and cranny of (Un)Pleasant Valley. I survived 80 blizzards. I started to hopefully think about what I would do after mapping the entire available island.

Having mapped the last of Ash Canyon, I made the long trek back to already familiar Coastal Highway. From there, the plan was to scamper down the rope in the Ravine and finally explore Bleak Inlet. I walked all the way to here. Wait a minute, where is the rope? https://t.co/uI1ec868lF

I had no memory of having removed the rope about 145 game days earlier. Annoyingly, my spare ropes were back at the Fishing Village. It was on the trek back for the rope that I took a misstep on the section of the bridge where you have to switch from one rail to the other.

You always know it could happen to you at any moment in TLD. But this was my first serious run in the game, so, naturally, I have MANY FEELINGS. Mostly I'm just disappointed it wasn't a cooler death. Fell of the trestle bridge, really?

Stupid trestle bridge. On day 65 of this save, my character had a serious slip and fall on the Ravine rope climb. Ever since then, she had bad feelings about the Ravine and hadn't returned that way. Now her body lies at the bottom, under the bridge.

#TheLongDark players, where should I spawn my new Faithful Cartographer attempt? I'm slow and pensive, and play a custom sandbox with kind wildlife, unforgiving elements, minimal loot and no firearms.

I decided to go for PV. Of course, I copped four blizzards in the first five days of the save. The. Worst.
