  • This is the first new difficulty to be added to the Long Dark since Interloper in 2016, called "Misery". This mode is harder than interloper, with afflictions being applied to the player at set intervals through your run. This mode was made for the intention of certain death. No 500 day runs, no 3 yearlong saves. You are supposed to die at some point. How long can we survive?

    I like the idea of this mode, the afflictions seem to help squeeze the hardship of a long play through into a shorter time period so a player doesn't have to go 100+days to feel pressured.

    Im digging this challenge, and it seems like thats what it is. I know it is a mode but with a set spawn and pre-determined ailments, I would argue it feels more like a challenge mode. I can appreciate your points on the matter.
    The idea of no recovery has always been the least used setting in all my years of gameplay. Perhaps that is the ultimate difficulty. I'm excited to try and survive long enough to get to the final affliction and see how it affects the long term survival probability.
    Really do appreciate all that you do and now with so much new content, I'm sure you have a lot you want accomplish. Dont stress this run too much and remember to enjoy what you are doing. Cheers man 😊

    My first time watching your videos and it was very enjoyable! I like learning about this new mode with you. I think the afflictions seem grounded in long-term winter survival issues- eating a carrot or two a day would have much more serious consequences than interloper players typically see 😅 Thanks for the video!

    someone’s mad they didn’t get to beta test 🙄🙄
    all jokes lmao, i was also thrown off by the random afflictions just bc i think they could’ve made actual cooler stuff that actually happens
    for example paradoxical undressing is when a person with hypothermia experiences “heat” in their body (cold so extreme it feels hot) and so they shed their clothes which ultimately leads to heat loss and death.
    these actual real life afflictions that are super common but not well known would’ve been cool to see

    I definitely agree with you regarding no condition recovery being a more important / better way to have a hardcore challenge. Modifying things from base interloper like temperature, weather, and maybe even a modified easier version of this affliction system in misery mode can be cool for extra difficulty like in deadman, but I think that no condition recovery is the crucial factor that makes or breaks the progression. I loved the day to day tasks of trying to keep everything up in deadman, and avoiding freezing or starving even for a short period at all costs. Do you think that regular interloper should have no condition recovery?

    • @SurvivorMike
      @SurvivorMike  āļŦāļĨāļēāļĒāđ€āļ”āļ·āļ­āļ™āļāđˆāļ­āļ™ +1

      I think that making a harder version of interloper would be super easy. All you have to do is get rid of condition recovery and drop the global temperature down several degrees. That way, survival long term is possible, but extremely difficult every day. This “Misery Mode” feels forced in my opinion. Stacking on cheap afflictions isn’t my idea of fun. But, I’ll give it a few more episodes and see if I enjoy!
