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

And you wouldn't really need a super deadly weapon - hell just a damn duct knife from Home Depot is no joke, and most combats would logically not be to the death any more than they are between wild animals.

Ellie's switchblade is way more special than it has any right to be I mean the fact that it's a switchblade is the only thing that should be unusual about it, it's absurd that Joel doesn't just have a folding knife that does the same thing

Yeah, and like Even if we allow for the part where humanity is entering a new Dark Age - which is my more optimistic read but I think has support - most human beings *do not want to die*, and do not *really* want to kill that much. Combats would be usually inconclusive.

He should just have a knife for all the other things you need to use a knife for It's the most basic tool in the history of human technology, combat aside The idea that he needs to make disposable shivs is pure gameplay over narrative

Hell he'd need a knife to *cut and dress meat from hunting*. He could almost certainly knap a reasonably sharp stone knife if folks aren't forging iron (which to be fair I think is very unlikely; recent YT trawls have impressed me on just how much people can get done.)

Folks are definitely forging iron, they have a super sophisticated blacksmith in the Jackson town square
