See my clothing in first person

[Sengil]

I can find it immersion breaking when I have mittens equipped but in first person I see no mittens worn on my hands. I know it might be weird to animate shooting a rifle wearing mittens, but I think that is better than having no gloves or mittens when it is < -30 degrees Celsius.

The way I'd solve the mittens issue is by attaching the mittens via tether around the player's FPP model wrists, implying they've briefly taken the mittens off to operate whatever they're using. I'm sure shooting a rifle while wearing mittens is possible but it'd require so much model distortion that it'd be unreasonable to animate. Even with AAA budgets and expertise, you want to keep those kinds of animations at a bare minimum.

 

Anyway, this is very much an element of polish that Hinterland should finish before or when the game leaves Early Access. It's understandably a low priority issue, however, so don't expect it anytime soon.

Lexilogo is right. Shooting with mittens is very difficult and close to impossible.

I have IRL mittens for hunting, where you can unfold the part that covers your fingers.

But this are special mittens for shooting. I could imagine that the char would take his mittens off before grabbing the rifle.

But I also don't like that the char always wears the same shirt and jacket. It is of course a polishing issue, but I understand the OP that this is a little immersion breaking.

I think taking the mittens off when it is too complicated to animate or isn't realistic is a good compromise. Since Hinterland have a lot on their plate I don't expect this to be a high priority issue, but I hope it gets implemented before the full release.
