Animals and npc questions

[Breepzz]

1- I’ve only seen horses, dogs, deer (does/stags/roe deer), wild boars, wolves, chickens, pigs and ants on the first map after 45 hours of gameplay. Do cows, squirrels, rabbits/hares, frogs/tadpoles, brown bears, foxes, birds (not the fake ones in the sky), herons, ducks, weasels, and rats exist? My only real complain about the game, it feels a bit empty regarding wild life... Specially after playing RDR2 with 178 animals, 30 fishes, 19 horses....


2 - Regarding traveling NPCs, do they spawn like bandits, or do they actually exist and travel between villages? I speak about travelling ones (sometimes with chariots); not the ones spawning with bandits events.

3 - Also, no musicians??


Cheers

Animals you mention don't exist. Sadly.

Rabbits yes the rest no.
Pretty sure NPC's just stay in their towns

There are also rats and cats and hares. Ive seen them in the first map.

Soooo sad because:

The region around the Trosky Castle, located in Bohemia (modern-day Czech Republic), was primarily rural and wooded in 1400, with a fairly rich wildlife, although it was different from what one might encounter today due to environmental changes over the centuries.

At that time, the typical animals of the region included:

Large carnivores:

The wolf: It was still present in the forests of Central Europe during the Middle Ages, although hunting had gradually pushed it into more remote areas.
The brown bear: It still lived in certain parts of Bohemia, especially in deep forests.
The lynx: It was also present in some wooded regions, though its population was rarer.

Hoofed animals:

The deer: These large cervids populated the forests of Bohemia.
The roe deer: A smaller species of deer, common in the forests.
The wild boar: Very common in dense forests, it was also hunted for food.
The fallow deer: Although less common than the red deer or roe deer, it could be found in certain areas.

Small mammals:

The fox: Very common, it lived in woods and fields.
The badger: Also lived in the forests, near burrows.
The hare and rabbit: These animals were widely present in fields and woods.

Birds:

The pheasant: A highly prized game bird.
The partridge: Present in meadows and fields.
Crows and jays: Common birds in the forests.

Aquatic animals:

The beavers: Although they disappeared from the region for several centuries, they were still present in rivers and marshes at this time.
The otters: They inhabited rivers and lakes.
Deforestation and agriculture began to change the ecosystems, but this region was still a place where wildlife, particularly in forests and wetlands, was relatively abundant. The forests were essential not only for wildlife but also for the inhabitants, who practiced hunting, woodcutting, and sometimes agriculture there.

You can see rats/mice running around as well.

Ive seen rats, cows and musicians. A couple musicians you meet at a tavern and can go on a quest to acquire them a lute.

Ooooh excellent for musicians (but spoil for lute)! I find it strange if not present ingame. I suppose it's on the 2nd map i didn't go there in 45h

Actually they are in the first map. Its a pretty involved quest line and a funny pay off at the end, and Im pretty sure I will see them in the second map, but I havent gotten there yet.

George and Michael are the musicians names if you want to look up where to start their quest line.

You can also hunt rabbits. The rest no.

As far as I understand it they spawn in at random, exist then despawn.

There is musicians in the first map, there is a whole quest related to two of them.
