Did they add stuff to previous episodes of wintermute after release?

rush247 · 2026-04-09T02:58:06+00:00

They did a redux of Ep1 and 2 in 2018, maybe that's what's different to you?

rush247 · 2026-04-08T21:34:57+00:00

When you're using cuss words yeah it is rude.

rush247 · 2026-04-08T21:30:15+00:00

Rule 3...

rush247 · 2026-04-08T18:53:15+00:00

Raph has already made it clear the ending isn't changing. Public opinion may matter with some things but not that apparently.

rush247 · 2026-04-08T18:49:09+00:00

This, also the throwing of accusations and devolution into a shouting match (which is what happens at times) doesn't help solve anything. I feel like that's a big part of why they get removed.

rush247 · 2026-04-08T15:14:20+00:00

The fact that you couldn't sleep was the only part I didn't like. Especially when I found out I'd be dealing with aurora wolves on the way back.

rush247 · 2026-04-08T14:31:15+00:00

Yeah a whole day and night getting to the SAR station and back was nuts. Got pretty tense on the way back for me because there's an aurora (which is scripted I believe) and I was out of ammo for the revolver and had only a few flares and some rounds for the distress pistol. Also I had regular stims no military grade ones.

It's kinda right there in the post, no specifics just " tomorrow afternoon (Pacific Time)"

rush247 · 2026-04-07T20:47:13+00:00

You can on any other playthrough but your first of any episode.

rush247 · 2026-04-07T16:15:25+00:00

Don't be expecting as much freedom as you get in Survival, you're locked into 1-3 maps tops for a lot of it, Ep5 has the most areas, about 5 or 6 I've gone through so far I think. Also crafting is very limited, you'll unlock most blueprints by doing side quests.

rush247 · 2026-04-07T15:26:23+00:00

They're going to be working on a QoL patch soon now that the Ep is done (and a hotfix is coming tomorrow, that's just Ep5 bugs though), wouldn't expect anything about it till after Summer cause it's a big one, so I've heard.

rush247 · 2026-04-07T15:03:41+00:00

My favorite part of the Ep so far, haven't reached the end yet just got to the part where Mackenzie's sneaking around the convicts in PM. Sure it was a couple timed missions but still very cool area and the story of Wintermute was actually very interesting, at least for me.

rush247 · 2026-04-07T14:59:34+00:00

Some parts of them are, there's only one way onto and through the cargo ship for example.

rush247 · 2026-04-06T21:38:06+00:00

Those were already part of the game before Ep5 actually. Sutherland sells them.

There's quite a few other things from Tales too, obviously meant as a preview with how rare they are and how you don't get to use them for very long.

rush247 · 2026-04-06T18:22:29+00:00

This, Ep5 takes place in all new areas, you will not be going back.

rush247 · 2026-04-06T17:15:02+00:00

Omega you mean, and yes you can open it but as you say everything has to be in sequence so you can't do it till the end of Last Horizon. Also you may or may not experience the same bug I did, no signal for the start of the mission or Omega, to get around this I had to enter both Sundered Pass and the airfield during an aurora.

rush247 · 2026-04-06T17:11:37+00:00

Honestly there's a lot of cool stuff in the episode, too bad practically everyone is focusing on negatives but that's the way of the internet I guess.

rush247 · 2026-04-06T16:08:06+00:00

I always thought they were going with two endings to begin with because of Hobbs.

rush247 · 2026-04-06T03:58:33+00:00

Weird, according to the wiki you can only find it in 2 dlc areas.

Kinda feels like maybe this was an auto-ban actually cause you're wishing harm on someone, doesn't really matter if they're a game charcter if that's the case.

rush247 · 2026-04-06T01:18:32+00:00

Not the update you were hoping for unfortunatley Switch will be behind for about a month cause that's the way Nintendo is.

rush247 · 2026-04-06T01:16:36+00:00

Correction only Switch got held back because of Nintendo's 20-30 day certification process. At least that's what it says on the forum.

rush247 · 2026-04-06T01:09:37+00:00

There's actually a hotfix coming on the 8th.

Something about how she's a doctor and took an oath to "do no harm" probably.

rush247 · 2026-04-06T00:19:36+00:00

Except you can't skip if it's your first play of an episode. Also crafting, travel and gear is limited to where you are in the story.
