some of the soldiers weren't attacking me; the ones in the silos shot at me fine but it was a room after that where they ran around and shouted out their combat barks, but didn't attack me.

I went up to the Bar and was suddenly being shot by an invisible enemy; when I died it told me Kyle killed me. This stopped happening to me after I cleared out the Radar outpost and the Biodome.

I found a video game cartridge but couldn't find who to turn it in to, any clues?

I didn't find that many secrets but really enjoyed spotting all the little references dotted throughout too. I had a minor bug right at the end where:

Check in the greenhouse, near the big stately home.
If he is not there, check if the stately home is unlocked and open.
If he *still* isn't there, use the following command to spawn him back:

I will look into this, but entire questline here is going through an overhaul.

what exactly are those Haunts/Laughing Tom enemies are they manifestations of your own insanity from when you're visiting particularly old sites or are they simply the souls of those who have died or are they something else entirely eitherway But on the Soviet Sub Level they frightened the life out of me. Expert use of sound and tension 10/10 would jump out of my skin again

Thank you very much I had to summon him in as he had not spawned in the warehouse for me one of very few bugs i have noticed. Furthermore, one other thing I want to ask

When the Haunts die they leave behind a brain like blob of flesh so I assumed they were just some weird psychic mutant an the "body" we see is just and illusion or something. Not a very interesting theory I know, but it honestly never occurred to me that they were anything else

It is funny because when I played Ashes 2063 that is what I thought they were but after how far I've gotten in this game it feels like they are something else entirely after the convos I have had with the npcs and from how at the end of micophone when they spawn out of nowhere that is what made me change my mind but yeah I'm gonna ponder on this some more since I'm starting to think they are on the manifestations of one's insanity from being a scavenger
