First thing I went for was indefinite overrides. Then silent sprint. The damage buff and extra looting skills are good, too.
All that after you get the whistle and silent strike skills of course.
First thing I went for were the silent kills and the skill that allows you to attract folks by whistling. Too useful for thinning out the herds.
Most of the skills r pretty useful even the ones that arent that useful i found myself getting them because there was a skill below them that i wanted but at start I got silent strike first then I went for the tinker skill.
First thing I went for was the double sized medicine pouch.
I spent way too long on the Shadow Hunter Bow tutorial.
It wasn’t never clear to me which machines had armor to shoot off, so I started hunting Sawtooths since they keep their Blaze hidden behind armor. Later I stealth kill a Scrapper and noticedall of the armor that fell off of it. -.-
I’m still trading melee hits with Sawtooths too.
Got silent kills and sprint first. Then concentration, double arrow and lastly tinker.
For Sawteeth, I just use a combination of rope and trip casters to keep them away and set up fire arrow shots.
That, or I just hack one and use it to take out the others.
Tinker is already paying off. Being able to switch mods to take down and stun enemies with the sling in one hit is awesome. I did the Valleymeet Hunting Grounds challenge, which focuses on elemental damage, so fucking fast. For the shock challenge I equipped a legendary and a rare mod that both increase shock damage to the Carja sling, then switched them to two freeze mods for the freeze trial. They were almost over before they began, lol.
I’m glad the unrepentant optimizer in me saw the value of that shit.
I made it to the desert last night and got murdered by this big fucking robot bird.
Photo mode shit.

You couldn’t fast travel out?
I really think Horizon got the balance of difficulty just right between the usual cakewalk that game’s tend to be, and the more “masocore” Souls-like games. The combat is challenging, and you will die, unlike with the former, but it doesn’t reach the brutal, trial and and make a lot of errors difficulty of the latter.
I agree d3v. I have died a quite a few times but I have never felt like anything was overly difficult but at the same time the game isn’t so easy that everything is a cake walk. 9/10 when u approach a situation u gotta go in with a plan u can’t just go in guns (or should I say bows) blazing cause u will either died or end up using a shit ton of resources and meds. Override adds another lvl to battle planning as well, I managed to override a thunderjaw early when I was surrounded by 2 ravagers and 3 watchers, man that thing cleaned house.
It also does a gd job of making everything rewarding, beating robots can always lead to getting really gd weapon mods and because you have to craft ur ammo it’s sometimes a necessity
Went to Gamestop yesterday and traded in Nioh for this game. I just don’t give a fuck the storyline in Nioh; every mission felt like the same grind. I’m only 2 hours in this game and I am already hooked on the story. Hunting down these machines never felt so good!
I mean, goddamn, the intro CG before I even get to start a new game has more storyline than Nioh!
So whitey the last mohican is better than whitey the last samurai?
Took out my first solo Thunderjaw as part of the Hunter’s Lodge questline. Was surprisingly easier than I expected thanks to tearshot arrows and a good ropecaster. Once I got it tied down, it was simply a matter of using its own disc launchers against it.

[details=Spoiler]Also decided to take on Redmaw immediately afterwards. What makes this fight harder is basically the fact that you only get one disc launcher sintead of the usual two. Took a ton of arrows and my entire supply of wires (for ropecaster ammo) to take him down.

Lol my girl was talking to me while the game was idle and I saw the npc’s glitch out like the fucking matrix, over here pulling the same parts off a robot over and over.
