It's Saturday morning Skyrim time, but I've switched from being a Skyrim player to being a Chanterelle player for now.
On my current game, things are going well. I didn't choose the most difficult possible start this time, and instead gave myself some leather armor and a conjuration spell to start with. The spell is quite often useful for being a distraction while I run away. Having some idea where to start looking for things and which areas to avoid helps as well. 40 hours or so over the past six weeks and I figure I've explored maybe 30% of it all.
Here is the current list of mods I've found to be necessary. I have a lot of others that mostly make things more challenging in general, but these are the ones that seem like they're in one way or another specifically good for Chanterelle.
Essential mods:
Survival:
Other things:
Eh well, I finally found Bragon's old boat. Somehow missed it the first time through, so I searched the whole river for it. Also I have three seemingly unique items and have no idea what they're for. The other thing that's different about Chanterelle compared to Skyrim is that so far as I know there's no wiki to instantly tell you how everything works. That too is a welcome change.
Any chance of an update?
Well, I can confirm that I did find Faucheuse. I think it was actually the first of the various "treasure hunt" type things I discovered, but as it turned out I'm glad I forgot about it for so long before finally getting around to following the clues, because it was the most difficult of them. It was quite a journey. Goes a long way into territory that's much more dangerous than where it starts. Feels like actual map reading skills could be useful. Very satisfying, if you enjoy that kind of thing. The path does go near some obviously unfinished areas, of which there are a few scattered across the land.
As the fights got more difficult, I relied on alchemy quite a lot. Also paused to spend some time levelling up smithing a little, by practising leather working mostly. Lucky for me I'd set the crafting skills to level at something closer to a normal rate compared to everything else, so they wouldn't be too grindy. Very good weapons can be found, but you'll probably want some decent armor too if you want to feel comfortable in such places as are found in for example the Hall of the Mountain King.
Even with a whole lot of time spent improving skills and equipment while wandering around, I found myself running away from things at least some of the time all the way through to very near what seemed like a sensible place to call an end to this Chanterelle playthrough. For now I'll be off to spend some time in Skyrim for a while. The next playthrough will start in Chanterelle again.
