Ah, that sounds like a cool challenge. Maybe when I get more used to the game I'll try something new. My first ever character (an Islander) is still going good despite nearly died of thirst at one point. I started in the summer near the isles but did not know that you can actually drink the seawater in this game. I looked it up and apparently the salinity in the Baltic sea is low enough to drink! So I spent a couple in-game days without water and too scared to wander off into the woods. But I managed to fish and made a simple shelter. Tracking is another story, though. Took me over a couple of real time hours to find a track, but even then there's no animal in sight. Luckily the fishes should keep me fed for a while. I'm barely halfway through the tutorial course right now so nothing too complicated just yet. But a few tips would be greatly appreciated!

Yes exactly surviving the winter as an old, lone hermit would be an interesting challenge. Maybe an old man who's done everything and wants to spend the rest of his life at peace surrounded by nature. A bit too ambitious for me to play (considering my lack of skills in the game) but something I'd like to see in the future.

Do player characters always start at 16 winters old? I'm wondering if I can start with an older character for roleplay, but this is not a big deal. Still, is there a way to change the starting age?

On a side note, I love this game so far (6 hours in). I live in a hot, tropical country and for the longest time I yearn to feel the cold northern wind and get lost in foggy woods, to just leave civilization and sit by a warm fire enjoying the roasted fish I just caught. This is the only game that I've found that can fulfil that fantasy. Thank you devs for the wonderful experience so far.
