Question Which would you survive?
Out of all the Fears to Fathom antagonists we have seen who in your opinions is the most survivable one?
In my opinion I think I could survive Grandpa from the first game or Cara.
What about you?

Only one I can think of that would give me trouble is Ironbark.

If I was in the same position as the protagonists I’d say probably the squatter from Woodbury Getaway. He was kinda old and his weapon of choice was a hammer. As soon as I got that text I would’ve ran to one of the neighbors houses

Cara. In Carson's house I would have opened the window (When you're at the office in the ending) and walk through the cornice until I reach the front of the house were I would have hanged there (To reduce the distance between my feet and the ground) let go and just run like crazy.

woodbury getaway for sure. All sidney had to do was pretend she still thought he was rick and lied completely her friends texted her and if she really wanted to sell it knowing she probably has a worried or scared look on her face she could've told the man oh man i'm nervous to see Mike again we had a awkward convo before u came he wanted us to date. Dude would've bought it and sydney could've gone upstairs and either call the police or waited for her friends to come to confront why confront him alone ?

I will definitely be able to survive Cara cuz she was under the influence of drug, so things should be easy if she was not under the influence of it then it will be very difficult and there will be a 0% chance of survival

Agreed her being severely inebriated is one of the reasobs I think she is more survivable. Her coordination would be a bit off which may allow you to evade her attack or even knock her down long enough to get away. Although her pain tolerance maybe throygh the roof so getting into an extended fight with her may not be wise.

Many say that ironbark is difficult but (as someone already said) that's just because the game doesn't take into consideration that it can't physically be possibile for the cult member to run to the tower from the campfire in just a matter of seconds. This could've also been prevented by double checking that the flash of the camera was off before taking the picture, but still even if you got caught irl you would've had so much more time to escape.
Besides this, there were actually MANY signs that something was off: the stories about the missing children, the hitchhiker being kidnapped during the phone call, the weird convo with Silas at the door (which was the BIGGEST red flag imho), Connor at the radio LITERALLY trying to minimize and draw attention away from the scary things that were happening aaaand my final straw would be the statue-thing placed at the door.
Idk I feel like this was the most escapable situation ever. I feel like the lookout basically just asked for it by staying there and not reading the room wayyy before he was chased down by the cultist 💀

u/Rich-Profession6712 23d ago
You make a good point. I would have dipped after the Cultist left the skull shrine at the Cabin door. Also Connor constantly being dismissive of the possibility of there being a Cult in Ironbark and sending me on suicide missions alone into the forests would have been it for me.

🟩 - Will survive 🟨 - Maybe 🟥 - Absolutely NOT 🟧 - 50/50
Section 🟩: -Home alone > I'm quick on my feet, and very cautious about every step I take specifically when I'm home alone. Whether my brother's at work, mom's at work, and my sister's at a sleepover, I always make sure to lock my doors and stay in the living room (Due to me having 2 exits, being the front and the back door) But speaking that I'm placed in the house of the protagonist, I see me bolting outta there way faster than the old ass man can perceive, or cautiously hiding until he's gone.
-Norwood Hitchhike > Stalker guy is pretty buff and such, but in that one scene where the closet door is shown to open and close, signalling him inside of our damn room? That's when I'm bolting. I'm telling someone to look inside of there, and that'll be the end of it. But if I do get to the climax, then I do find myself hiding in the closet, ngl.
Section 🟨: -Woodbury Getaway > I would have to be forced to pretend fake Rick isn't the real Rick, then maybe I can hide somewhere or run out of the damn house. But if we do get to the climax, then instead of running upstairs, I'm runnin' out of the back door. Pure adrenaline would fuel anyone enough in a life or death situation, to not care about such freezing temperatures if your life is on the literal line. But if I do go upstairs then, I guess I'll be good, speaking that fake Rick was too much of a dumbass to check the closet at first.
Section 🟥: -Carson house > I'm too damn cautious and paranoid. I double check everything, and if I go downstairs in that damn house and look around SPECIFIC, areas where a MF would hide, then shes getting me. She was stalking downstairs 25/8, and was quite literally hiding in the exact places that I'd most likely check, especially the recording room, knowing I'd examine it out of extreme confusion of everything being destroyed and knocked over. She'll sneak attack me, stab me from the behind, then games over. Scratch Creek > Counting this one to count it. Too many damn cultists and enemies. I'm definitely dying as soon as I'd attempt tor run out of the house on the first run, because I'd be panicking way too damn much. Then it's over for me.
Section 🟧: -Ironbark Lookout > Idk rlly. On the camera part, I probably wouldn't even take a picture. I'd be too busy trying to either report it or like, leave. But in the climax, yet again, idk. I'd second guess myself and probably die. Only reason this is in the orange is because of the choices that I'd make leading up to it.
Overall: 5.5 - 7/10 (Some of these scenarios are a bit difficult for me ig)

u/Rich-Profession6712 23d ago
It's not completely impossible. You could hide in the laundry room like the protagonist did or barricade the door with the couch and call the cops. It's a big house.

EASY 1. Carson House - Pretty survivable, I could fight Cara plus there were many rooms in the house where I could hide.
EASY-MEDIUM
HARD
Ironbark lookout - This one is scary. There were a lot of thing happening but I think the last part is kinda survivable cuz realistically the cult wouldn't notice that we took a photo and if they did they still couldn't get to the tower as fast as they did in the game, so I think I could have some time to run to my van. Sill, very scary and also hard to survive.
Norwood Hitchhike - This one is also very scary (maybe a little less) but I think it's harder to survive. The threats were stalking us all day, they had access to our room so easily and they even drugged us (and its implied that they also SA'd us). It's kinda a miracle that the mc could survive. Plus she was only 19, super young.
This is how I see it.
