What?

I have no idea, all I care about is beating the game :)

Wild man?

Hmmm… Wild Man..

I have seen theories about it but I'm not sure about the whole thing tbh.

I haven't checked YouTube in a while, but maybe Strange Man talked about it once?

@Wintergel

They did, however, they left out a few important details which very much serve to contradict the theory. One example being the fact that the Wild Man came from a wealthy family and ran away (as detailed in his journal), while the gunsmith's son is specifically stated to have drowned.

While they're usually a pretty decent investigator in tying up connections together but on this particular instance, evidence was fairly anecdotal at best when they’d discussed it.

A feral man who runs through the woods and sends wolves to you? Maybe. It's a good theory.

I like being attacked by wolves.

Don’t you agree?

I don’t think so, since the gunsmith seems to imply he watched his son die. However it’s more likely than I realized prior to reading the post. Gunshot would and an abandoned child, presumed dead. Good theory and it definitely got me thinking it’s possible.

*watched his son by drowning, not gunshot wound, I was mistaken*

No, the feral man is NOT the gunsmith's son, because the gunsmith's son was knocked into the river from the recoil of his repeater rifle, while the gunsmith was teaching him to shoot "properly". On the other hand, the feral man ran away from his home to get away from his "abusive" father. I just recently came upon the feral man in my playthrough, and hogtied him and was immediately attacked by two wolves. I killed them and lost honor! I thought that was strange until I read the feral man's journal found in his cave....then I felt really bad about what I'd done and I deserved the loss of honor! but I let the feral man keep breathing...least I could do!
