Have to say Skybird I agree 100% with your comments regarding re-engaging with the game. It's made me wonder why I've just left it to one side, I suppose the money thing was the main issue for me. Being a single father it just didn't make sense to waste it on a subscription when I have so many better things to spend it on. Now it's completely free I've fallen in love once more.
I really do like the aspect of selling the kills for $GMS, sometimes if a hunt wasn't going well I'd often take does or cows just for the tiny blip that I'd get for weapon experience. Now I just sit it out and wait which definitely adds to the realism for me.
Also yes, I had issues with the ethical list when first trying it out again (Also had many brain farts with my various weapons, a 7mm bullpup is overkill on a bobcat
) but it's been fun exploring and learning the newer ballistic mechanics.
Right now if you'll excuse me I've got some hogs to hunt
