1. For our purposes, we want to clarify if you're referring to the shrine makers around New Amsterdam that have been around for a while (that Thor would be aware of), or the recent religious devotees who will be coming out of the Aerie? The former has their own set of beliefs based around the Displaced and their deeds so far, and Thor's been pictured in their works. In the latter, it's a burgeoning religion, but it's one where he'll be able to have a bit more influence on their approach moving forward. To be clear, the shrine makers have a leader of their own and some direction, but the new followers of this still forming belief-system are there to be shaped to Thor's liking (depending, of course, on his choices). Let us know! And feel free to ask any questions because we know these two groups can be confusing.
1.5 A lot of this belief system has been lost to history, so a lot of the people on the ground are getting information second hand. It does seem that the shrine makers' former leader (Ball) had some more information than he let on, and there is also the mysterious Nirvana/Legion who's been behind the Banksy murals. Using those connections to try to reach out to Nirvana is probably a good first step.
2. Hunting is definitely a possibility, though Thor will likely want to not draw too much attention to doing this, as there are likely going to be people who take issue with it! Given that animals were a scarce resource for so long, hunting these newfound ones for food or sport would be a point of contention. The first obstacle here would be getting over the walls without getting noticed, as no one is supposed to venture out into the wilds between megacities without a permit of some sort. Thor might be able to follow some of the animals that wandered into the city back over the wall, but he'll need to be careful about surveillance, etc. Once he gets outside, he will likely want to contain everything he does to beyond the walls. (Coming back in with a carcass of anything would draw a lot of attention.)
If he goes on a long hunting trip, he won't be without an internet connection!
3. Tomato is also interested in North America, so we suggest you guys work together on this one. Essentially, we want getting to North America to be a gamewide plot, and that will be the easiest way to accomplish it because of the logistics. A bus/car definitely won't get anyone there. A boat is an option, but he'd need to figure out a way to acquire one that's up to the journey and amass a "crew" who has the skills and know-how to actually sail a boat such a long distance. Anyone involved in this will need to be careful because of the UN's surveillance drones and possible boat routes. Plus, who knows what's waiting for them when they get to their destination?
