Can wolves hear you?

[I'll be the one]

Back when Fluffy was in the dam it was said the sound of you opening lockers near the entrance would attract her. Fast forward to yesterday and I sprain my ankle. As Will Mackenzie hobbles along he is yelling and aching from his injury. Do you feel that your loud voice as you limp along says to the animal "Come get me!" just as much as being loaded with raw meat does?

All the whining and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is seriously not Canadian. In the wild, everything can hear your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and complaining. In harsh conditions, this behavior can be dangerously demoralizing. The pair of them would benefit greatly by clamming up. Especially about all the obvious stuff.

I do feel that way. I'm like sneaking around a wolf and of course Jennifer will start yelling "CAN YOU EAT TREES!"

But no I don't think Wolf AI is that smart. Afaik only thing they "hear" is the difference in a way your characters is moving. Crouching obviously being the stealthiest and sprinting expanding your "noise circle" quite a bit.

Nope

The ability to turn off the commentary in custom settings is not linked with the wolf detection setting.

The wolves find you regardless.

But I do think that player injury triggers increased wolf detection range. I certainly feels that way at least.

ROFL, you've made my day, thank you.

Protip: do not carry any amount of meat while traveling, even if it is cooked, and in any capacity even if the scent meter is not triggered, it *will* attract wildlife

That's what I told every streamer every time they said, it wouldn't matter...as long as you have no stinky bar...most of them didn't believe me ;-)

And how about the noise your inventory makes when traveling? I noticed when your are close to being over-encumbered your backpack makes this rattling sound. Can wolves hear that to? because I noticed on stalker difficulty wolves detect me from a far range but i'm mostly traveling heavy.
