low Health movement

[cFren]

When your character is on low health he starts iceskating with a pinch on speedhacking.
I'm 100% sincere when i say i get filled with pure hatred when this happens.
No it's not realistic or immersive in any way, i tried the bear challenge part one and got f*cked by this issue twice now.

suggestion: make the character slower, let him drag himself on the floor, or patching yourself up takes longer, or maybe just turn down the iceskating by 99% then it would be managable to control.

please for the love of my keyboard change that rage inducing feature.

Oh people have raged against that mechanic for its ridiculousness.

Unfortunately, Hinterland is content leaving that feature as it is. You were dead the moment you let your condition dip that low. Much like every decision made about the game, it's all on you.

Most players have come to accept this and try to offset this totally fair unvantage by:

A. Trying to place an object in the world, stabilizing controls
B. Caring about their players
C. Giving up

This is what emergency stims are for in the game, rather than using them to make a fast long climb. Save your stims for actual emergencies like this- it's what they are meant for. They add 15% condition back immediately, stopping the effect and giving you time to fix whatever is causing the condition loss that is killing you.
It is an annoying effect, but there are players who report being as low as 2% condition and surviving it by using an emergency stim , often followed by birch bark tea to add a little more condition back, and maybe coffee or a Go! Energy Drink to get extra stamina to get to shelter quickly to be able to recover condition by sleeping a few hours.

i get it, and thanks for the advice but imo this shouldn'T be an issue in the first place.. really frustrating

Yeah, it would be nice if it was affected by the "Dampen Camera Motions" setting, but it isn't. It's one of the most unliked effects in the game, for sure. If they added a toggle to turn it off in Custom Settings, that might help- except it would also stop Feats progression (unless you are using a mod that keeps Feat progression enabled). I'm not sure if there is a mod that disables the effect or not- I've tried most mods and found that I prefer the vanilla game (never found the "perfect" mod or combination of mods for me). But you can check the online forums to see if there is a mod that disables the "Dead Man Walking" effect: https://hinterlandforums.com/forums/forum/103-modding-ugc/
