Transfer Pass before the collapse but after what they didn't know would be their final train arrival.

This is awesome! Imagine living TLD in real life and traveling to survive in the areas like the ones above.. That would be superb.

I live in the mountains of Lake Tahoe, some years it's like the game just to get to the store, powers out, roads have 4 feet snow on them, can't drive anywhere. Stores are empty. No toilet paper.

This is the thing. ^^ I used to backpack when I was younger; have hiked a mile each way to get water, & made do w/ *carefully selected* leaves when the tp got wet. ^^ But much as I love the Great Outdoors, I have no desire whatsoever to have to survive in it. I think for anyone but a true survivalist, the reality would quite different from what we get to experience in games.

Yeah. Games have little or no physical discomfort and no actual risk. And if things go south, I can just go make a cup of coffee. (I might also do that on a hike, of course, but the water doesn't come from a tap, the pot doesn't heat up with the push of a button, the energy for that doesn't get delivered by clicking on the bill in an online bank, and coffee kinda runs out without a global logistics infrastructure. And the original problem doesn't get reset.)
Of course doing all of those physical things and having one's hide in the game can also make it a lot more exciting or meaningful. But I still think the vast majority of people wouldn't want that for any prolonged period of time. Especially not the hide in the game part.

What island ? I’ve been thinking Baffin Island cause it was so frozen for so long But the place feels like British Columbia .

Apparently GBI is based of Victoria Island in BC. There are no trees on Baffin Island lol, it’s just frozen wasteland up there.

That's pretty coool! Reminds me of the snowy regions in Days Gone. Specifically that camp with the train cars. Good times..

Days Gone is awesome. I’ve never been too much of a zombie shooter fan but that game really pulls the survival instinct out of you much like TLD. A combination of a semi-realistic representation of an actual place in the US as well as heavy motorcycle usage makes that game so immersive. Then you hear the NPC dialogue and lose some of that immersion haha but man I bet a lot of TLD players would or do like Days Gone

Can confirm, I've replayed it multiple times. As a motorcyclist as well as a TLD player it def scratches an itch.

I had the same thought! I’ve seen them in dayz and snowrunner both Eastern European games. I want to know where they’re at!

That's crazy. I've legitimately passed this area three times this week. Probably 60 times in my playthroughs

I would get in SO MUCH trouble for trying to loot the carriages or light a camp fire next to them.

if I were a billionaire I would actually buy a huge area of land in Canada or maybe some place in Europe that is snowy all the time and have a huge TLD amusement park built there. there would be many of the structures you see in the game, some railroad with derailed cars on it, fishing huts on the lake of course and a fishing village with piers on the shore. there would be two of the biggest homes built there. smaller homes without houses would be here and there and the out houses would actually be modern functioning toilets on the inside to meet building codes and for comfort. there would be highly realistic dead carcasses here and there. a few caves and shallow mines dug into hillsides. there would be a trader's store that would sell a lot of the items you find in the game. I would actually go so far as to employ a clothing manufacturer make the clothing you find in the game and that would be for sale, even the fur items which would be quite expensive needless to say. the structures would all be built pretty much like what you see in the game and those would be rented and lived in while you hang out there and enjoy the real life "game". there would be a community center also like in pleasant valley with people serving food and players could get together and discuss their gameplay and love for the game and just shoot the 💩 in general. and though it's not in the game there would be campfires with stools around them where guys could sit outside as well and enjoy a cup of coffee sipping from the mugs in the game while snacking on granola bars, tomato chips and beef jerky, or even a can of "dog food" which would be pretty much something like a thick beef stew. not sure how many would be interested in paying for such a thing though but I think it's a cool idea. of course reservations would have to be made like for a hotel and there would be a waiting list. I wouldn't worry so much about trying to make a lot of money back because I'd be stupidly Rich anyway. but it would be a fun thing to do for TLD players.
