This is something i haven't played for a while, but me and my friend decided to play some Sea of Thieves again. We didn't do much, mostly just sailed around and did a gold hoarders quest. Along the way we bumped into these guys who ended up asking us to join an alliance with them which is fun. I feel a little guilty though because they sold all their stuff and we made money off it too, and then they logged off before we could sell all our stuff so they could benefit. They were nice though.
at one point we got into a storm which i really loved, because it was this huge storm which was tossing our ship around. My friend didn't love it so much, but i've always had a love for the ocean. The way those waves were just double my size and towering over me just felt really relaxing. The whole storm was basically just me chilling while bailing out water and occasionally adjusting sails.
After the storm cleared we found a star which we think is the north star and used it to get our heading. We managed to land and get the treasure before promptly sailing back to a port. We landed while a ship crewed by two people was docked on the other side. We sold everything, but they came over and raided our ship right after.
They ended up getting unreasonably pissed and swearing us out in the Voice Chat because there was nothing of value while me and my friend ended up just watching and laughing to ourselves about it. They ended up burning our ship, but we left before any permanent damage could be done.
This game is beautiful.
I remember when I played it the first time, I sat on the ship, fishing, and I realized how the water changes colors with the weather, and it was the prettiest game I've seen, and I was just in awe. I never had that with any other game.
If the gameplay was a bit more complex, I would've spent years in this game I'm sure.
The fishing is so much fun. I’ve legit gathered a group of 4 in the past just so we can chill out and fish
