   I've had and played the game since early beta days and and a love/hate   
   relationship with the game.  I don't care for the 'difficulty' settings, at one   
    end, all th ewildlife other than moose run away from you so quickly you have   
   slim chance of hunting.  At the next difficulty the wolves will hunt you in   
   packs and make it difficult to survive at all.  I've not even tried the next   
   two 'more' difficult levels.   
      
   The same thing happened to me Story mode, but in reverse.  It started quite   
   difficult and dying before I would reach the end of the story, but later   
   updates seem to make it almost impossible _not_ to get to the end. Story mode   
   does have some encounters that are set, you will get mauled by the bear   
   multiple times, etc, but it rarely kills you.   
      
   I enjoy the sandbox mode the best, and am thankful for periodic updates to the   
   maps as I typically play in exploration mode because I have having to deal with   
    wolves attacking me multiple times each day.

   ... I have an existential map. It has 'You are here' written all over it.
