I think the skill that improves your health pouch is a bit misleading.. I took the first point which was suppose to make healing more effective or something, but when i took the second point which was only suppose to double the amount of healing the pouch can hold, i discovered it actually quadrulples the amount. when you hit the max you get a green + to show you have a full bag, and i can get a full bag and 3 green +'s if i farm enough herbs before its full.
I'm not sure if this was because the first point also gave another level to the bag (but did not mention it), and the second point then doubled that.
It's just double. You start with 2 bars. (1 +, 1 full bar)
After the skill you have 4 bars (3 +'s, and 1 full bar)
To clarify, when you fill a bar (except your last bar) it turns into a + and the bar empties again
I'm finding the game actually pretty tough but I've been wearing the stealth armor too so maybe I should switch that up. The bigger stuff especially is surprisingly fast and lethal.
Getting some purple weapons helps a LOT. Hardpoint arrows on the hunters bow actually gives it a bit of a kick now, and with the more concentration/faster reload abilities, I can really put the hurt on a bots weak points

I got the purple bow this morning right before I left for work. Are hardpoint arrows literally just better hunter arrows that have additional tear? I was looking at the stats and I didn't see any downside to using hardpoint over hunter arrows, except crafting cost.
Look at me. Look at me. Look at how large the monster inside me has become. Crunch Crunch! Munch Munch! Chomp Chomp! Gulp!

Pretty much, yeah. Higher impact and tear damage, and higher material cost. It's hunter arrows mk II

On the other side of the coin, I just got the purple precision bow. And I can't figure out why I would use harvest arrows over tearblast.

The parts that resource arrows blast off can be grant extra resources if using that particular arrow, so good for material farming I guess?

Tearblast only tears off components, it will do no damage to the creature itself, unless a component getting torn off or destroyed specifically causes an explosion.
They're extremely useful, yes, but to actually damage a creature's weak points/health you still need hardpoint or standard.
So i have been sitting at this part for 10 minutes. Super close to the start
The scene where the children throw rocks at Aloy and you choose to be Confrontational / Clever / Compassionate. And i just cannot choose what to run as my first play as these kind of choices tend to be "Commit to one choice" anyone have any non-super story spoilery insight?

Just pick whatever, there's no morality meter or anything.

I think there's some dialogue that references your choice later, but that's it.
I've killed nine so far, not a drop in site. Tried tear arrows to rip all their armor off, nada. Knock the container off, nada. It sucks because I really want that Nora heavy armor

The containers have always had junk in them, for me, now I usually end up going for the claws so they don't do that ridiculous shock nova type attack or put up their shield
Man, the moment you enter a boss battle (first cauldron) the camera gets really claustrophobic, you can't see where you're running or where you can dodge/run to and end up stuck on geometry. Really stressful if you're just trying to figure out what you're suppose to be doing.
I recommend folks go to Meridian ASAP, just to have access to all the vendors and start up the Hunter's Lodge quest.
Hilariously, there's a document in the Hunter's Lodge that spoils the outcome of the Hunter's Lodge questline. I'm guessing it's supposed to spawn afterwards, but it's just hanging out.
Also, I decided to do more random adventuring and journeyed to the Great Northern Roboctopus:
I just finished the first big fight after the proving.
what I assume is only the first corruptor you fight. Holy crap. I seriously considered that perhaps I was just way too lame to play this game and I should just quit. I died more than once. I suck so badly at aiming. Stupid jumpy bastard. The only thing I could think to do was rope it to the ground and hit its weak spots with fire arrows. Then start again when it broke free. Was there something else I should have been doing? Took forever.
Fun Fact - I discovered that the game has invso-kill walls earlier. Was climbing up a large (relatively) flat mountain slope and all of a sudden I got a loading screen and it dropped me back at my last auto save.

You eventually get tearblast arrows that can tear weapons/components off usually in one shot. Other than that, yeah, you have the right idea. The listing in your journal will outline all the weaknesses/parts of any machine you scan.

In my exploring of the Roboctopi, I've run into various "turn back now" territories that warn me that I will be killed and sent to my last save, which is a lame way to handle it. Witcher 3 had the decency to just teleport you to the nearest fast travel signpost.
Yeah I was trying to get to... Daytower I think it's called? Took the wrong pass up the mountain and ended up being about 100 steps away but with a huge ravine in between. When I creeped to the edge to attempt to "Skyrim" my way over there, I got a warning message basically telling me don't do this.
The worst part is I turned all the way around and finally get to Daytower gate, and it seems to be locked until I complete a story event...
Man, I wish these modifiers were a little more impressive. 6% tear increase... hooray.
I actually wish the combat was less stat-based in general, because having to plug even a vulnerable beastie with three or four arrows to trigger an effect isn't much fun. And I can't decide if I want aim assist on or off; with it off I can't hit the broad side of a barn, but with it on I can't tell if it's actually going for the part I thought I was aiming at.

6% tear increase is a really low bonus. The modifiers get pretty powerful, and soon.

I think my bow is up to +130% Tear, or pretty close. I basically pop every attachment off a monster with the tearsplosion arrows.

That took me a few attempts - lots of traps, I think, in the end, and the first time I used healing potions, as using regular healing made me too vulnerable.

Tearblast just shreds pieces off enemies. 189 tear. Hnnng.

Hey everybody. I'm trying to avoid thinking about the Switch / Zelda. Your game looks cool and I hope you are all having fun with it- if I had a PS4 I would be super into it, I bet. Shooting future arrows at robot animals is pretty rad and I am a fan.

Maybe I've just had bad luck, then, because the best mod I've found has been, like, three different 6% bonuses.

They quickly get better, as you'd expect you'll get juicy ones from bigger prey/areas. I've got a couple of things that do +40% which are purple rarity, I'm around 23 now.
I think, if my save file is listing this as time played, I've put in about 16 hours so far. I've scoured most of the first big zone save for collectibles... this game is shockingly huge, and I actually had a bit of a culture shock upon realizing the entire world isn't tribes living behind stick-walls. I mean sure they call themselves a tribe but... c'mon! Stonework!
Wow, that's two fun/surprising references I've found in two good games this past week. Last week I spotted a (not hard to find) Revenant spawn in Nioh named (Reboot_Rygar -- it was a dev-placed thing). This morning I just found Jazz and Jack, a pair of rabbits, hanging out near a metal flower. That got a good chuckle out of me!
At some point, I turned a corner. I went, without really noticing, from "oh shit, that's a long legs, I'll just go around" to "that herd of tramplers and the ravager guarding them are a little close to that mug for my taste *explosions and looting*".
I killed a
dinosaur
, you guys. It was awesome.
My current preferred method of "stealth" killing a herd of robots is sprinting at one, Van Halen sliding at it and "silently" stabbing it to death, then repeating X-1 times, where X is the original number of robots.
