Last night we had an issue when she decided to wander off on her own, found a T-rex, tranquillised it/started taming it and got killed by 2 Scorpions and a Raptor whilst waiting and lost all her stuff as well as the Pterradon she went with.
After a tantrum involving the typical "I'm not playing. This game is stupid", I stepped aside from the stone house I was building and said "ney, fair maiden, tis not all lost!", convinced her that we should go her Raptor and my Dilophasaur on a raft to try and find her stuff and her dinosaurs since she really didn't want to lose the Rex since apparently we shouldn't really have one at our level. After much folding arms, pouting and head pats, we set sail.
We got back to nearish where it happened. I got off the raft with my trusty Scrump (Dilophasaur) and armoury of primitive melee weapons and guns ready to help my partner get back to her corpse/Rex/Pterradon...Only to see her run straight past at top speed on her Raptor. Safe in the knowledge that I had been abandoned among a lot of big dinosaurs I hadn't yet seen before in the game, me and my one true love (the Dilophasaur...She'll never abandon me) stayed and fought to the death among a hoard of horrific monsters (which were mostly just other smallish carnivores, but that doesn't sound cool)
After unwantingly clearing the area of any potential threats, she came over the horizon on a Pterradon clad in her hide armour with a big friendly T-Rex following behind. Mission success.
We then went back to the raft to work out how we were getting a T-rex home on a tiny raft only...Only to find a much higher level T-rex camping the raft. She advised against trying to kill it and we didn't bring enough 'supplies' to tranq it. I decided to try any, that's just who I am. I ran out of tranqs just as was warned and started panicingly trying to create a mortar and pestal to create more tranquilliser whilst being chased by a giant monster who would kill me in like 2 hits. Happily, despite the circumstances, we managed to tranq that one too, so now we had 2 T-rex's we didn't know how to get home.
Eventually we got home, her flying the Pterradon and guiding the Rex's along the beaches/cliffs whilst I took the Dilophasaur and Raptor along the coast on the raft. The Dilophosaur fell off the raft twice, which is annoying because they're hard to get back on, so I had to build a 'dock' twice to help it get back on. Minor irritation.
She seemed happy that even though she originally lost everything, we managed to come back with everything she lost plus two T-Rex's. I called mine 'Daisy'.
