There was nothing like being crouched in the bushes scouting out an enemy camp and a cassowary comes along and decides to peck your eyes out.
They all make unique noises too
So you'll hear the distinctive sound of a honey badger or dhole and immediately lose all sense of composure and start flailing around wildly for it.
The eagles didn't bother me too much but they are extra sinister because they sound a lot like the non aggressive birds so you start to learn to go on guard for no reason.
I don't know why it isn't annoying but it really isn't. It's just funny, even when they ruin your day.

Yeah, even in farcry 3 I'd start laughing every time my death came at the hands of the local wildlife.

Okay I honestly don't know how I'm expected to get these rhino skins
any weapon that can actually kill them damages the hide too much
with your bow
like the great white hunter that you are.
This. It only takes 10-15 shots, the tricky part is finding a spot to safely shoot from, and then finding another spot after the rhino runs away and you have to go looking for it.

I keep a shotgun on me at all times mostly for the animals. The 1887 will put down a lot of the larger beasts in just a couple of blasts. Makes pretty short work of a pack of dholes as well.
It's not super effective against rhinos, but it works well enough. Soften one up with whatever mid or long range weapon you have and just pull out the shotty when it gets close enough.
Really though, the shotguns have a pretty surprising range in this game and are great for a ton of situations.
Man, there's something about this game I just absolutely adore
I can't find the right word for it, but I guess a longer description would be that I love that I never feel completely safe?
Like, yeah, sure, I'm to the point where if I get the drop on a patrol I can stab 3 of them and throw a knife at the 4th guy without taking a shot
But the thing is that immediately after I'll be jumped by a tiger or a honey badger or a pack of wolves, and suddenly be in great danger, and that can happen almost anytime
Like, I feel perfectly capable, but I definitely haven't hit a point where I'm too powerful, and I'm not sure I'm really going to

That was one of my favourite things about FC3. Late game I was the big boss of murdertown, cleaning out encampments without breaking a sweat, but if I wasn't careful enough I'd turn around and two tigers would chew my head off...

I do like to keep a shotty in case I get ambushed and the grenade launcher for raining down death from the Buzzer, and then the last slot is a wildcard.

Standing around with some friendlies when one screams "dogs!" a dog runs up and bites a dude in the crotch killing him instantly. The other guy kills the dog and screams "It's over! It's finally over!"
I guess this demon crotch eating dog had been hunting them for a while.
I haven't beaten the game yet, but I think I'm on the home stretch
In any case I think I'm far enough in to say that if the game managed to unite its disparate story elements into something a little more cohesive, and also gave Ajay more (any) development as a character, it would probably be one of my favorite video game stories in a while
As it is, it's serviceable and I don't hate any of the characters, so it's leagues ahead of 3
The only thing they added to this that I super don't like is that sometimes Pagan's guys will attack an outpost of yours and you gotta go defend it
It's always right after I fast travel to one of them so I can drive to a mission, then I gotta turn around and go back and do that
I hate defending territory I've already won an these are never fun
There was a piece of paper with a code for them thst came with my "limited edition" on PS3, but I haven't downloaded them yet.
They might be exclusive to the "limited edition"? I'm not sure, sorry.
Well, I know that the Season Pass advertises itself as having them
What I've heard is that they'll be made available for download by everyone at some point, and at that point the season pass holders will get it for free
Which seems...weird to me, but fine

Just ignore it. At worst you might lose a little bit of Karma, which is super easy to get back.

Maybe the next game should have difficulty modifiers like character action games do, so that you can toggle stuff like retaking outposts on or off when you start a new file
Unless that's one of those things which is impossible to do for some reason

Mountain lions in Red Dead Redemption?
The fact that a pack of wild dogs can completely ruin my day keeps me on my toes

There's a big game rifle that works really well, can't remember how you unlock it though

Just keep a tree between you and the rhino and you should be fine.

one last fortress to do
if you don't do the fortresses before they're weakened you are missing out
I guess this demon crotch eating dog had been hunting them for a while.
I found the ending pretty anti-climatic.
I agree with you on the ending.

Am I supposed to have the Hurk missions unlocked yet, or are those not yet available for download if you got the season pass?

Making it a constant back and forth is something I would really enjoy, though I imagine for most people it would also wear thin pretty quick
As it stands all taking a fortress does is
1. Give you a new supersize outpost
2. Stop the attacks on outposts in that region
But as Has been pointed out, you can't actually lose the outposts, so it doesn't really matter all that much.
