I think the addition of foxes would be very interesting, creates another animal of prey to help even out with the types of predators in the game currently. I'm still partial to the addition of a cougar personally since it would add more challenge to the game as well as unique and interesting game decisions.

Possibly, I could see the reasoning behind taking away from the feeling of isolation, but I feel since it would be an optional thing it creates a happy medium for both types of players if they choose to pursue the mechanic or not.

lol, That's the thrill of the Long Dark my friend, never knowing when you'll meet a horrifying end. Cougars would make a nice addition I think, They could add some unique situations of having to be extra careful when hunting prey because they would me much more agile and intense than the wolves, the wolves can be dangerous if they sneak up on you, but most times I find you can evade them fairly easy, with the cougar if you stumble on one I feel it would challenge the player a lot more considering they are a much faster prey than the wolves, plus it would open more opportunities to expand on the crafting system in the sense that you could craft maybe a cougar coat or cougar pants.

Thank you my friend. 🙂

yeah, polar bears are a little out there, still would be cool though. Cougars would make the game pretty interesting though, it would have more of an impact than the addition of polar bears for sure.

I would like to see a throwing system added to the game, doesn't sound OP to me. It would help when you find yourself in situations where you can't take everything with you on your way down a mountain. If you have it to where their is a high chance of something negatively impacting the item thrown depending on the length of the drop then I think it would make a fine addition to the game.

It is an interesting concept, but they already have fire strikers that serve that purpose.

This is a very interesting idea, only having the lone black wolf as a possible tamed pet. To help balance it, it should become aggressive at you during aurora, and only be able to help you kill deer and rabbit (maybe other wolves), reason I say it shouldn't attack other wolves and other animals is because that would take a great deal of code to change behaviors for this wolf. To make the idea of a tamable wolf feasible, it should still keep most of a wolf's normal behaviors like fleeing when bear and moose are near, this way it would keep the developers from having to make a ton of new animations for this.

Ever since the addition of the Timberwolves, which I've enjoyed immensely, I have been wondering what other unique wildlife the developers possibly could add to further the game's depth and challenge. Since the game is set in a frigid Canadian wilderness I was thinking it wouldn't be far out to add unique variations of already existing wildlife like they did with the wolves. Perhaps they could eventually bring forth polar bears either in a reskin of the bear with maybe enhanced strength and senses, or maybe have a variation in how the predator functions and attacks, similarly to the wolves. Other concepts I was thinking about were perhaps the addition of cougars, but I would assume this would take longer to add considering there isn't something like this in the current version of the game. It would be amazing to see any of these ideas come to fruition later down the road. This is already by far the best survival experience I have played, much love to Hinterland Studios.
