All the animals running away is so annoying. I wish there was a way to slow them down after being hurt. Or they slowly bleeding to death.
With badgers and boars i run around the whole map to give them the last blow.
Foxes i either one shot with a bow or just don't bother with as they are too fast.

Re: Animals running away
Why do they fight back? Why don't the animals just stand there and take it when you punch them. Wouldn't that be great. Actually why isn't there just a button that you press that gives you free dead animals.

Stockpile traps and fencing them in, bro. Protip, there.

Animals need to destroy/pass through structures both when attacking and fleeing.
Natural obstacles (logs, stumps, etc) they could be reasoned to be 'leaping over', while sign-posts and fences should just be blown through.
Going 'down' cliffs should be a piece of cake within certain heights, and they should flee if they can't path-find directly to you. Animals in nature tend to error on the side of self-preservation, to the point of not engaging.
Which is why hunting should be a stealth based activity, and animals should default to fleeing.

Am considering some things on this topic.

Thank you Jorb. Change would be very welcome.jorb wrote:Am considering some things on this topic.
Perhaps just raising the threshold after which they start running would be a short term fix.

Nerf some of these "features" aka. cliff trapping, stockpile trapping etc.

So it's more our mindset that's screwed up, and less the actual gameplay? We should, actually, be chasing a fox half the countryside to beat its brains out?

Re: Animals running away
If animals were more skittish but also had a stamina bar that would be awesome. The athletic hearthling jogging after the fleeing animal until it is too tired to continue running at which point it either fights or dies of exhaustion.

Re: Animals running away
How about if the animal ever goes ravage and doesn't run away.
Double attack/Increased blocking?
Soemthing that doesn't make it run but not make it easy on the player.
