That's amazing to hear!
Glad that you're paying that much of attention to what the "public" says about the game.
As we cannot have a bear, maybe if there would be some kind of risk other than simply the cold, it would enhance the experience A LOT. Such as, as I said before, problems with the path, having to avoid icy path that could break, something like that. Dunno, just sharing my lame thoughts :D
Anyways, looking forward for more updates on this! :D
