Re: Seal hunting tactics I have successfully hunted seal, but it took much patience and just as much luck. 

It is true what you say - the seals will definitely "haunt" a certain area, usually a skerry. 

I have had success with deadfall traps, although it seems quite random, you would need to build a lot in order to meet with predictable success.  Your best bet is probably to load the materials into your boat, unload them onto the skerry, then build the trap there. 

I have also had limited success with "ambush tactics".  To succeed, you need a character with high stealth, speed, and accuracy with chosen weapon.  I found it useful to crouch in a natural low spot, like a little trench, or behind a rock.  The seals will sometimes come relatively far inland, to where they cannot easily escape back to sea.  Wear as little clothing as possible, and carry a spear (or other weapon) in both hands, then you have to wait for the seal to get to that point and get close to your position.  At the right moment, you spring out, sprint towards the seal, try to cut off its access to the water, and throw one or both spears.  One spear will almost never kill the seal - their blubber seems to be very thick, as they can take quite a lot of damage.  You may need to hit an individual seal with multiple spears before it even begins to slow down. 

However, once it has several harpoons sticking out of it, it will start to slow.  Wait for it to come ashore again, then rush it with a club (or blunt side of an axe, etc) and start beating it.  Aiming for the legs/flippers seems to be a good way to keep it from getting away, then once it's mostly immobilized you can attack the skull. 

Due to the damage to the hide from the spears, this usually results in a carcass that is "harmed" or worse.  But it can be done.  Also, the spears will commonly fall out in the water, or else the animal might die out there as well.  So you need a boat to collect your spears and the body.

Re: I didn't do anything in village territory, now the locals want to kill me ?! Actually, I think maybe the same thing may have happened to you as to me:

It might be that there is a bug causing villagers to periodically claim Player items as their own, if they have been sitting in a village (or nearby to be close enough).  Picking up all of my own items, in this case, turned the children hostile who had stolen my gear.  Perhaps a similar thing happened to you.

Re: Best music to listen while playing UrW Just saw this topic.  I must agree with trowftd, that I enjoy listening to drone whilst playing this wonderful game.  However, my favorite is neofolk and dungeon synth.

Here are some of my favorite albums.  Please give a listen to these... I feel they are very much in the spirit of UnReal World. If you like the music, please consider checking out more of the artist's work and support them by buying the album.

October Falls - Sarastus (neofolk from Finland)

Woods of Ypres really has some bangers as well "I Was Buried In Mount Pleasant Cemetery" and "Traveling Alone" are my favourites.

One Finnish group that I'm listening is called Tenhi, I don't really understand the lyrics but they are really nice songs slow, soft. My favourite is "Pojan Kiiski" I think the song is about a boy and his fish but I dunno, it is cool though.

i really like these bands as well, in addition to Sunn 0))) and Burzum.  was lucky enough to see Sunn live a few years ago.

Re: Did anyone ever see a seal for once? Well, well, well....



Set up a bear trap on the small rock jetty where the seals seem to like to hang out.  And my guy only had 15 trap skill... Baited it with 1 roach and 1 perch, just to see if it might go for different types of fish.  a couple days later... here we are!  Time to train my club skill ;)

It's been a while, and now I'm thinking about my young virtual survivor, sunk in virtual snow, within his virtual forest.

Squatted by the side of a frozen lake, a white vastness that greets him every morning, while embers dance out of a dead bonfire, under lazy winds. The sweat upon his face struggles against a cold, jealous atmosphere, which drinks on the heat that escapes from his limbs - certainly against his will. Another tree down, another log, another piece of wood he will turn into a cup, a plate, a toy, perhaps, if imagination helps. And maybe later on he might walk north, towards the village, trading his trinkets for a loaf of bread and a piece of fish. Small talk, some laughter, a few moments within wooden walls, and he might even remember what it means to care and be cared for. Ultimately, however, he will go back to his lake and his figurines, to the silence of still waters, to meditate on the figments of his own existence and try to bring that cacophony of thoughts and memories to a reasonable conclusion.

And I'm under the impression he would be miserable without this sort of solitude to keep him company.
Well said

Re: URWEP 1.1 - Smithing, Pottery, Seasonal Festival and much more! [3.86] I've been enjoying the mod so far - one more minor thing I noticed:

It appears that ashes of the dead can "spoil", as though they were a food item?  I found it a little odd when I returned to my father's cremation site to find that his ashes were no longer fit for eating  :P
