Animals in the game...

[Previous_Complex]

As I am gonna spend a while in this game I would like more animals in the game to make the game feel more alive.
This besides the little quests with the foxes.

Birds, hares and whatever wildlife or animals fits into this world.
I don't want animals which attack you just make the game feel more alive with animal life cause it feels rather dead now.

Don't get me wrong, I love the game and adding animals wouldn't have to have an impact on performance just better for my roleplaying

What do you guys and girls think?

We need more foxes.

There are lots of bugs in the grass and bacteria everywhere, they're just so small that you can't see them.

Not sure if you have noticed OP but there are also:

- dear (that don't attack and offer no reward)

- yellow birds (they lead you to stuff)

- normal birds (just for atmosphere, does nothing special)

- boars (can attack you, mostly runs away, gives pelts)

- bears (attacks, gives pelts, hates Arrow Meets Face stance)

- dogs (best buddy)

- horses (friendliest taxi service on the island)

- Megalodons (okay I'm lying now)

- Grasshoppers (Gemini and their weathered friends)

- Vile beats (humans, I totally meant humans)

I do agree on the vile beasts which respresent humans though ;)

The rest is real, especially the Megalodon (okay that one is still not real).

Ok you've baited me but that might be because I'm a bit light headed right now due to alcohol lol

Then where did you see those animals in the game?
In the wild cause I sure didn't so far?
In the populated places for some animals?

I will ignore the Megalodons hehe.

There already are birds. And not just the yellow ones. You see a lot of birds.

The yellow birds are all over and as you get "within range" of certain things (hotsprings, haiku locations, certain NPCs like for Legendary quests, etc.) they will make a noise (they're very distinct yellow birds) and you follow them to the location they lead you to find the goal.

Boars and Bear are sometimes in fields but mostly they're in forested/bamboo areas. I've seen bears particularly frequent around north east of the Hotsprings town (the one with the big hotsprings where Ishikawa, who teaches you archery) is. You should find some blue flowers near there (unless those aren't visible until you start the legendary quest?, but if they are it makes it obvious the location I"m talking about) where I've seen bears quite regularly. Either way, though, they're pretty common as you travel through bamboo areas. You might hear them and see an indicator from them noticing you as you ride. The extended detection range perk makes it easier to locate them in such dense bamboo areas due to the red outline (have to stop moving if riding horse to use that on horseback). These are required to increase the ammunition amount of arrows/thrown items.

Deer are everywhere, even in town sometimes. They make a pretty loud noise that, honestly, sounds more like a bird call and come in groups of several dear making them hard to miss. Completely used for atmosphere and no other purpose.

Dogs are found in bases and often come alone or in a pair. By default, they're only aggressive but there is the DLC (and the included DLC charm you might have gotten at start of the game, otherwise play DLC to get it Ithink) which lets you sneak up on a dog and pet with R2 (or similar button) to befriend them as an ally with certain perks while stealthing (or later if you get caught fighting) at mongolian territories and such. They're kind of shaggy ugly things though so it might not be obvious they're a dog lol...

There are some random smaller then the yellow birds that are spread around the world as purely environmental effect and when shot don't do anything special like hides. I don't think they even make noise (but I could be wrong).

Grass Hoppers/Crickets are found as collectibles in certain cemetery and are part of the flute weather control unlocks. They're in what looks like a bird cage.


I forgot, until the two above mentioned....

There are frogs, though I've only seen them at one spot with frog statues for a temple and you bow to the statue to make tons of frogs appear. I've seen similar for a fish event (bowing at bow signs, aka down on the touchpad) does certain environmental special effects at some locations with those signs.

Crabs can be found at the beach as they said (at nearly any beach really).

Thank you very much for the long and detailed explanation.
Appreciate it :)
