I think its good that you can not inspect them.

Haha yeah! Making tasks more grindy and tedious is hardcore! Go back to farmville loosers!

You'd think "inspecting" something might mean you're looking at it in detail in order to discern any information you can regarding the thing you are inspecting.

So while inspecting a live animal would be understandably more difficult, it's perfectly reasonable that one would inspect an animal's corpse and be able to obtain information regarding the overall usefulness of that animal.

Or maybe I'm just an such idiot.

Actually that wouldn't be bad to inspect ql of fully grown crops too. I could harvest low ql crops instead of my farmer. So mb inspect on fully grown plants & dead animals? I feel like Kaios logic is pretty nice, same could go to crops. Like winemakers can say that the wine is going to be good looking at fully grown grapes, but I feel like they can't say that when they are planting them.

I think inspecting dead animals is a good idea, but it should be limited in some way by the character's survival. Inspecting live animals is useful but kinda silly.

Even a city resident can be able to see which sheep is more healthy and well-fed, so she has good quality meat, or which mammoth is older, so he has a better bones and tusks.

If inspecting anything makes sense, it's animals. How do you think hunters can tell if a deer is legal to shoot?

I just need to know if it's old enough and whether it's a buck or doe. Knowing the species is also important. Wouldn't want to shoot an elk when I only have license to kill mule deer.

Isn't quality an abstraction for those things, and other plainly visible cues like fur condition?
