[QUOTE="Tymophil, post: 3361465, member: 46923"] Hi all, I have come across this setting (I gave it as a christmas gift to my nephew), and then dug the Midnight universe through web sites. Very soon, I came to the conclusion that the setting simply could not exist as described. Still, I could not find one single review echoing my concerns... They all say the setting is close to perfect. So I asked several questions on the French fansite "Midnight Sundering". I got no real answer to my questions, rather the same old information repeated, with no solution to the problems I raised. I guess, I shall upset them if I keep repeating my questions. So I decided to ask my questions here instead. In a nutshell, I simply don't understand how could the human settlements survive more than two years. Human cities should disappear even faster... As far as I can tell, the Midnight world cannot produce any tool, any cloth (especially made of leather). Stocking food is just as impossible, and thus humans cannot survive one winter. Barter is also impossible, as it is impossible to make anything allowing transport of food (the most obvious thing to barter with) : no barrel, no bag, no cart. How does this setting answer my concerns ? Thanks for your attention and your answers. [/QUOTE]
