Let's discuss hands...

This is just a small feature that I think needs to be added...

I'm out in the wilderness, freezing to death, the hype is real, I light my lantern so I can gather the little warmth it provides so I can survive, then bam. No hands. Just a floating lantern. I feel it takes away from the experience that there's no limb graphics. Not showing feet? I can live with... Just can't live with no hands... What are your guys opinions?

Since you brought up the subject, my only problem and question apropos hands is why is my character mashing the lantern, or, more worrying, the flare, to his/her right eyeball? :?

Barring flare defense, you're using these tools, presumably, for light, so navigation by extension. Seeing where you're going. Which is pretty hard to do with a flare mashed to your right eyeball. :cry:

I have a video posted, here, somewhere, and traveling at night from the office to the lookout with a flare lit is just a depiction of masochistic behavior. Especially since I do want to see where I'm going.

Not only is my right-side peripheral vision blocked but my eyes can't adjust to the darkness as they would if my beloved character lowered it's beloved right arm so I can see something other than fire, like where I'm going, maybe perhaps if at all possible if they could find it in their hearts to consider it. :lol:

Yes, hopefully they fix both of these problems, as well as many more.

I'm not saying it's a bad game, it's an excellent game that can be mad 100 times better

Actually,I pointed that problem about flares disturbing wiew,about 3-4 months ago.And,in v256 they changed flares lighting.It is not perfect,but still much better,than old flares.Before flare covered wholle 40% of wiew of right eyeball,at new flares wiew is covered just with stick of flare,whille lighting is enough soft to be able to notice objects trough it.Let`s say that flare now covers about 20% of wiew in the middle of eyeball sight,whille sides are visible normaly.

It is great improvement,imho.

The floating lantern if a bit of immersion breaker, also the lack of hands on the rifle.

On the topic of hands, shouldn't it be harder to light the lantern or hold your rifle steady when you are freezing. At this point your body would be shivering and keeping your hands steady would be a challenge.
