I literally just finished that mission. Vaas is quickly becoming one of my favorite video game villains, ESPECIALLY in recent memory.

Prison Break Mission (currently in progress):

I took out two of the guards out on the beach proceeded towards the cabin that happened to have a snake in it.

Guard #3 followed the siren sound of my infinite rock collection and made spoons with said snake.

From what I gathered, the snake's got quite a mouth on her and it put him right out when she was done...

Now I paused as I about to teach a tower guard a fatal lesson in asset management.

i.e., I'm going to give one of his vital organs my knife while I take his life.

 

Figures the protagonist's name is Jason and I'm skulking in the dark, freezing rain... murdering platoons of pirates.

So... tower guy is dead.

Swam across the water to take out some of the other guards there before I get the Big Cheese with the Key.

One of the poor sods lit up a cigarette and didn't even get a drag before he learned why smoking kills.

...

Down to the final three in the area...

One sees his fallen comrade-in-arms lying dead on the dirt path and loses his shit, chasing up to where he thinks I'd be.

He was right.

Then he was dead.

---

I hopped down to take out the Key guy but slipped and ended up going Abdullah the Butcher on his face until he bled out.

Lackey #2 was all that remained.

Then he became just remains.

No alarms tripped and I snagged quite a bit of coin for my troubles along the way.

Vaas is fucking awesome. I gotta wait till you guys get further so we can continue this conversation.

I like Hoyt too, that motherfucker is pure evil while Vaas is something else entirely. Again, I make the analogy that Vaas = Bane to Hoyt's Talia.

This game is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good.

Is there a trophy for fixing someone's broken down vehicle? I saw them all the time before I had the repair tool. Since I have it I rarely seem to see them but finally ran into one on the way to a side mission. But I made the mistake of repairing the car before talking to the NPC because I didn't think you had to. I talked to him after and he just kind of walked away. No XP or anything.

I was wondering through the woods and came across a black bear, so I tried to silently take it down with my bow and arrow. After I shot at it the bear came running at me, so I switched my weapon to my pistol with a silencer. I got a few shots off and then I ran out of bullets. In the mean time the bear is attacking me and I'm running away trying to heal myself. I eventually say screw it and switch to my assault rifle and start blasting the bear and kill it. I then alert the bad guys and they start shooting at me. I run away and sort of flank them to take them out. As I'm healing myself again another jeep comes with 3 hostiles. They stop and start talking junk to me about how they are going to find out who did this. Then a Cassowary (those big and crazy birds) comes and kills 2 of the guys, so I just shot the one dude. Then another jeep comes with 2 guys and the Cassowary kills 1 of the dudes and I kill the second.

No, but there's a trophy for killing someone with the repair tool. lol

I had to go on one of those side missions to kill two bears. I go to the area on the map and see it's a cave. The first bear starts lumbering out immediately and I take it down with the provided shotgun. I start walking into the dark ass cave and eventually hear a growl from around a corner. Nothing will make you shit your virtual pants like knowing you're alone in a dark cave with a big ass hungry bear.

No, but there's a trophy for killing someone with the repair tool. lol

Yeah, I got that already. STRIKE Team makes everything burn!

Speaking of bears, will I ever need their skins for anything? I'm near the top tier for most upgrades and I need shark skins and some rare animals like black panther skin, but I haven't seen anything about bear skin. I don't want to sell them if I'll need them.

[Twigg4075]

I did some reading and besides the Unheard trophy there are two more that can be missable because apparently once you clear all the outposts there won't be any enemies left. You have to get Death From Above and Death From Below. I just unlocked the DFA ability which sucks because the outpost I just cleared had a perfect opportunity to use that.

The Heavy Duty Arrow Quiver requires two bear skins.

Other than the super rare animals, anything that you can hunt on the island respawns after a while so unless you feel like keeping skins on you, you can sell most of the stuff once you meet the prerequisite ranks for crafting stuff.

This link as the list of what you need to craft, minus the plants for syringes.

If for any reason you miss any of those and you've already taken out ALL outposts, watch this:

Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?

Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?

Looking bears and tigers right in the eye and saying to yourself, "Hmm, this guy'd make a pretty good ammo bag."

black panther for the block

black panther for the block

I just killed that mfer myself. Having that animal repellent syringe was a life saver.

Also, I would just like to take a minute to discuss how impressed I am with the detail of the island itself. It seems like every nook and cranny has something cool. I just love hang gliding to those little connecting islands to find temples and old war cannons. Or finding an underwater cave that leads to a relic. This game is just so awesome in so many ways.
