      See I don't agree, because traders are clearly A: a *thing*, and B: inevitable in such situations. But that's why you make the currency something actually valuable and not just "sell vendor trash."

      Yeah but like, TLOU alludes to having traders - Joel literally is a weapons merchant at the start, and in 2 we find he's traded a bunch of his stuff for coffee (and Tommy gets Abby's location from traveling traders). But where would they be in story?

      Like, would there be a neutral faction trader hanging out at the theater and staying out of everything? Would Abby have to pay Wolves for better gear?

      You'd need to design the environment for it, I agree, but honestly I think the "literally everybody is trying to kill you" is sort of played out mechanically.

      Enh It is very much part of TLoU's style that it's not an open world sandbox game and that you only take control of the characters while they are running, hiding or fighting for their lives It's kind of the whole point

      Idunno, TLOU1 specifically did a lot of good work with breather sections, as did TLOU2. You could probably put in breather sections and safehouses.

      TLOU2 has breather sections too, but sort of the point of it is that those sections are not about fighting and danger, but about emotions. It wouldn't exactly be a touching museum scene if it also had a gun upgrade checkpoint

      ...she says, when the game has explicitly got a bunch of gun upgrade checkpoints in breather places :P idk, I feel like if they're going to keep going with the series at some point they'll need to shake up the isolation.

      That said a lot of TLOU's logistical side is just weird period - like the machetes that just break after a few swings are ridiculous, and - assuming one has access to old cars and such - you could probably forge decent melee weapons in communities well enough.

      I mean, the machetes don't break from being swung, they break from being repeatedly embedded in people and pulled out again, sometimes hitting armor or armored fungus unlike firearms, America doesn't exactly have a well-smelted sword surplus

      The people who are into buying guns are also really into buying machetes and combat knives, trust me, and the stores that sell the one also sell a lot of the other

          Hell, while an actual knife optimized for combat is something you'd have to buy from one of those creepy prepper places, you can just get a big knife for cutting tree branches from Home Depot, it costs like twenty bucks

          You'd probably have to put effort into keeping it sharp, but it wouldn't just break in half on you
