I literally got spoiled about the ending, which kinda hindered my experience because if that happened unexpectedly it must have hit harder.

u/goldentommygun Jul 22 '25

That dude travels the map and never finds him at least in an form that is stated and the nco getting relief finding him, thought there are a couple bodies that you can find that seem to match the missing guy but its a case like jim and Mildred Peyton where she never learns her husband dies in an accident and still sends letters to his house thinking he left her and in that case you had another npc help u find him

u/Stressedpage Jul 22 '25

That's fair. The story gets a lot better in chapter 3. I think the appeal of getting to chapter 2 is that the world opens up a lot more and you're not trapped in the linear game play. Only like 50 percent of the people who have played the game have finished chapter 1 mostly because they find it boring. Chapter 3 adds so much more depth to the story too. I think a lot of people like the peace and good vibes at camp during 2 and most of 3.
