Will there ever be walls with larger windows??

[Ash the Perpetually Pained]

Have been playing for a few years now, love this game, but I always feel disappointed at how small the windows are in this game, especially considering how lovely some of the scenery is. It's also slightly annoying since you can't get a good view out of the tiny little slots to see if there are any enemies lurking nearby, the view is very limited (unless you have a balcony).

Larger windows I realise, could pose a threat with creatures or enemies being around (if we can see them, they can see us, I get it), however, perhaps since we have building materials like iron and glass I don't see reason why we don't have larger window areas now. With those materials, essentially we could have our brick walls (especially in the later levels) with larger open areas for a window slot where we have a better view, perhaps then we can add either a "barred window" (for that truly prisonesque feel - the buildings look like prisons with those tiny windows anyway) or glass window (made with sticks and glass - either paned or plain) that snaps onto that wall itself. Also, perhaps for those who like the dark, wooden shutters that are open and closable for the truly antisocial experience.

Imagine how bloody cool it'd be though when the purge comes and you have a few of your clan ready at windows ready with their bows, shutters fly open and a rain of arrows falls upon our enemies! Or shooting through barred windows...oh the fun we'd have. Glass windows, we're sitting doing our crafting and abusing our thralls and we suddenly hear a loud shatter, indicating an enemy is firing at our glass windows.

Plus, maybe if we had glass windows, the sandstorm wouldn't look like it was in my character's living room lol.

Just dreaming. I do wish for slightly bigger wndows though. It's on my Christmas list...

There's a few mods that offer that capability if you are open to modding and/or able to.

i kind of try to veer from mods because they usually cause me issues etc. :(

Because it was actually released 2016 in Early Access but Steam glosses over that by not mentioning it on the store page..
@OP
I really like the idea, hope they add something like this at some point in the future. At least they added those really cool iron doors now, the one with the slot and the one just made of iron and they look amazing! That's definitely a step in the right direction, maybe we'll see windows soon, though I don't think we'll ever see glass windows, since the devs mentioned at some point being able to use glass in this way would be above the skill set of the barbarian outlaws we're playing.. So dunno if that'll ever happen.

I was lucky enough to get it as a gift when it was I think just a week in early access. When it came out, I kid you not there was basically just the desert areas, that's how bare bones it was when I got it. It really grew large lol.

It will never happen, it's a game that's tech level is supposed to be roughly Iron Age. Shutters or bars would sensible though.

If you're using the less building restrictions overlap mod, you can use the combination of a doorway and a fence to make a larger window.

You cannot be serious. We have lanterns that require glass already. They're super fancy and intricate. A window with glass is 100% possible.

And they shouldn't be there either, at least not made of glass anyway.

They should be made of horn instead of glass.

Yes, or rawhide.

And why not? Glass is in the game and you can make SPHERES of it. That's much harder to do than make a flat solid piece.

Glass blowing predates glass windows by centuries.
