Story ?

[Witski]

I always wanted to know more about the story but how do i do that?
There is an order to play the maps or something else?(i never completed a map ever and i don't know where to start).
So far i just randomly played Ragnarok with a bunch of friends years ago and almost kille the big worm in the ice cavern ..and that's it.The rest was single player in random map doing random things.

Story cannon maps in order: Island, Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, Genesis 1 and in the future Genesis 2.

Story is mostly learned through the explorer notes around those maps and through the boss fights. With Genesis 1 you also get similar but with narration.

Also there are other points of learning the story but explaining those actually gives you some of the story so I'll refrain.

Ragnarok is a non canon map because it was formerly a mod. Center, Valguero, crystal isles as well.

You of course can watch all manner of videos on understanding the story of the game or the wiki too of course.

As I said, the story isn't as unfolding and apparent to folks unless they make the effort to read notes and other things. Ultimately the cutscenes from the top boss defeats on each map give a big chunk but if that is all one does, then there is so much more that is missed.

But there are people who have played thousands of hours and not defeated all bosses but just prefer to play in the open world sandbox aspect of things.

Well it doesn't hurt to try.
I always read stuff i took,in eso online or any elder scrolls 1/4 of the time is passed reading books and listen the story.

Does that work for ever or i have to set it whenever i go to another map?

Bear in mind though, all the official story maps are weighted to prefer low level dinos spawns. So regardless of how high you have your difficulty set, high level creatures will always be very rare finds, and most dinos will be low level. That can be overridden too, but not with configs - you'd need mods for that.

I know that but it's kinda strange to see dino with level that aren't increments of 5,like a level 8 / 32 dodo etc.
So if i found that level 174 fish it means it works what i did? ( i don't restart the game,i just exited the map before changing the files)

If the level increments are different, then yes it should have worked.

Do you have the usesingle player settings box ticked in settings or no?

150 normal max, 180 tek wild max and 190 Wyvern/Rock Drake Egg.

I have seen spiders and bats pass those numbers but I have heard you can not tame them. I remember seeing spiders(in crystal isle pre-release in a rocky area) that were 200+ and thinking wtf.
