    I’ve seen that guy! Kayaking down a lazy river and there’s a dude catching and cataloging turtles. Stopped to chat a bit. No idea how the hell he got to where he was. No boat, no roads near.

    Same trip I saw a couple of teens in the water around a bend. Waved at them, wait… WTF is that in the water? Whole ass horse comes busting out the river.

    SAME trip, we got to where the rednecks hang out on the weekends. It’s a little village of shacks wrapped around a long, slow bend in the river, super cool. Dozens of adults and kids playing around, and a 5’ gator standing on the shore, stiff as a statue, just staring straight ahead.

    I need to go kayaking this weekend.

        It’s certainly worth playing if you enjoy whimsical philosophical narratives.

          Excuse me? Whimsical? I did enjoy being a disco infused communism cop with a brain the size of earth that may have been addicted to every substance.

            Yeah I was being a little glib. It’s close to perfect for me. Also Kim.

    So, basically, it’s mad to be outdoors collecting data and not in the lab. Got it ;)

    Indiana Jones, anyone? Lara Croft? They were scientists and unhinged and ran around in a lot of fields.

      Layla Hassan, anyone? Literally diving first person into the past via animus, in a shack in the woods on a dig site, studying the bones of who she’s been for the past few weeks…

        I really didn’t like her as an npc in 2 tbh. She was best when she was borderlands version of shrodingers cat. Maybe alive, maybe not, but always leaving recordings. Gearbox tried to hard to make her “the funny autistic” and ended up making her a bit character instead of part of the world you’re in.

    The paleontologists in the Jurasic Park. When I saw the movie for the first time, I thought they were unrealistic and very mad. Who would go straight to a giant herbivore like Brachiosaurus or Triceratops? Surely they would be aware of the huge danger, right? Then I got to know a few zoologists and yes, this is exactly what a field zoologist would do. They would also survive, magically.
