Warg

Wow, nice shot! Bit chancey. It may be that quite recently the shooting mini game was changed: I mean, shots that I used to miss 1 in 3 now I miss rarely at the same distance. Might be me finally getting to know that rifle. Anyway, this is a survival game. It needs to be a "by the skin of its teeth" thing. A scoped rifle would ruin that. +1 on the padded arm protection. Though to get fur thick enough over a large enough area, it would weigh a few kilos. But it would sort of immobilize the wolf; with that shield/sled thing, no weight but also no immobilization (the bite could come under or above or sideways of the shield if not carefull and not stumble...might make a nice minigame (left mouse pressed and move to protect a quarter, right mouse pressed and jab with the weapon)

No guns or handmade guns. Can't see me hitting anything with a sling, much less a rabbit. A sturdy spear, definitely. For hundreds of thousands of years the basic defense tool. Good for morale and thrusting at big hungry things. For hunting though I think not: I actually threw 2 meter long farming stakes some 20 meters away to see how'd it be. Needs a lot of practice and a fair bit of effort. I know, hunting spears are much lighter, javelins I guess. Could be implemented but I guess they would be rather ineffectual. A learning curve, both in throwing and creating the spear? Nice thought... Perhaps an atlatl with an arrow. Hmm... A shield doubling as basic sled. Would enhance the knife work and reduce bleeding and clothing tear.

The "for real" quality of the game, immersion in the situation. Exploring also.
