re: Animal Aggression

[ricky]

Would be great if animals telegraphed their aggressive intent before aggroing. Some sort of animation that lets the player know they're about to be attacked - something similar to the 'fight' animation while domesticating animals. Maybe some sort of method, maybe even per animal type, to de-escalate would be cool too. Run from boar, crawl away from moose, stand perfectly still for bear hearth for wolves

This sort of ties in with better animal AI/behavior, but maybe that's a whole other can of worms.

Would be really cool to see animals stomp/growl/snort before agro at the least. The Quell the Beast hearth magic acts functionally as a way to de-escalate.

The animation when shit is ready to tame? Where it looks like the animal is about to fight? If wild animals showed that two seconds or so before they attacked you while wild that would be BAD ASS.
