Rivers and Creeks

[Cocaine_Bear]

I think to add even more reality to the game, creeks and rivers would be a very nice addition. Whenever I go out hiking or hunting (IRL), I just love the sound and sight of flowing water around me. And I actually go hiking a lot in the hunter too, just because the scenery is so beautiful!
So some small creeks that grow and grow and finally become a river when they all meet would be very exciting and add a whole other level of realism I think.
Also it would be amazing if they had rising water levels whenever it's raining.

Someone made this suggestion awhile back and loved it.

When you are around a river or creek just play a video like this in the background this is 11 hours of creek sounds and you can find others on youtube to suit your desired sound. just play this in the background when you are around water. You can also do one for forests to immerse yourself further

Nice solution, but its missing the visuals. While listening to this you always know there won't be a creek where the sounds come from, you know it's fake.
But hearing the sound of a creek I always wonder where it comes from, so I go find it.
I might just be weird though haha

I understand what you mean but if you just case about hearing some natural sounds sometimes not a bad alternative until audio becomes more immersed!

Having small creeks and streams!

Would anyone else love walking along a hill side and coming across a small trickling creek or stream? I think it would add so much extra depth to the game. Also the sound of running water could cover your movements and provide unique drinking and feeding spots.

Now you've mention the lack little streams running through a reserve to the lakes.
I never noticed before
Yes I would.

Running water

Why is there no running water or waterfalls in this game? Is the Avalanche engine not up to the job?

[TempraTantrum]

Ohhhh, I'd love that! Hopefully the devs take that as a future implementation.

It´s a really very very good idea. The only water sound is rain and I miss a lot something like this and similars

Nope..the sound of running water makes me have to relieve myself.

[McSqurl Nugget]

be a cool idea, i'd like to see this if it wasn't a resource hog, i'm guessing that's why they left out streams and creeks

[Gangrene]

Um, aren't there creeks and streams all over the place? or are we just talking about the sounds for them?

Nope, just stationary bodies of water with some surface movement. This discussion is about flowing water.

[Gangrene]

Oh I see. I never really took notice of the current or flow of the water. I see damned up creeks like that, IRL, where at times they don't even seem to move.
