Yeah, it's mountain goat simulator. I had expected some kind of warm armor that would let me survive the cold indefinitely; disappointing that you have to rely on timed potions, so you can never relax, always having to watch the clock. When I got the eyescream recipe though, I actually wanted the drakes for their freeze glands. That plus the obsidian is the main reason I still go there.

After gearing up some from plains, I got a bit cocky and let night fall while I was in the mountains... a 2-star wolf killed me in three hits. Ugh... tried a nighttime sojourn again, and this time seemingly a whole pack of like five wolves jumped me, plus a fenring. I held it off for a short while, but constant shield blocking means you never have stamina, so nothing much I could do. Died again. Mountains at night is still no joke!
