Had a quick blast on this again today, haven't really played it much recently as I've been busy with Wildlands the last week or so, but still blown away with the beauty of the game, so many moments where i've just got to stop and appreciate the scenery.
Much like Divinious and CHokKA i have noticed some serious bugged animal AI, running round like headless chickens in circles and bugging out on trees and bushes, I've seen it happen on the odd occasion before but not on the scale that its currently at, definitely broke something in last patch.
Still cant get to the summit of Mt Kraken, tried approaching from the east flank up the spur but could only get about 2/3 of the way, i had to traverse to the northern side and attempt to push up the northern spur which was a lot more effective but still thwarted about 3 or 4 contours from the summit, one small ledge i couldn't get over after about 4 goes and falling back down about 100ft each attempt i gave up, my fingers were cramping from sprint jumping constantly for about an hour...
I'm close, I don't think it'll take much, just need to get a jump from the right angle, but thats one for another day.
I haven't really looked but are there any other peaks worth attempting in the north? or are they all outside of playable area boundary?
