Wow, the feeling of connection between others is beautiful!

So I love Hideo, but never gave this game a chance due to a lot of internet fervor when it released about it not being fun, nothing to do etc.

About 40 hours in and spent a couple sessions earlier in the week focused on building the road between Lake Knot and South Knot out in the central region, and placing other helpful structures along the way. Today when I logged in, I was graced by ~20k likes from other fellow porters that appreciated what I had done. My bridge link rating shot up from 10 to 51 in a single go. It can feel so isolating at times wandering the wasteland alone as Sam, it was wondrous to feel like I helped make the journey not just easier for everybody, but that it was acknowledged as well.

I’m very excited to play through the rest of the game, and eventually play DS2. Thank you to everyone in here that is passionate about the game, as this sub really helped during the early hours.
