A new passive animal?

Postby AzTno » Tue Sep 08, 2015 10:40 am

Maybe for the next animal you could add owls? They could give good INT food, which would be great, since the best INT food early on comes from fish, but its completely random to get the right fish and its a chore to get the bait. So having an alternative to this would be great and IMO smalls owls would be great! They wont attack you, they fly so they should be faster than rabbits so they are not too hard to get. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boreal_owl Something similiar to this? Also they could drop owl feathers which could be used in maybe making better arrows, or/and as a headgear (you'd put it behind your ear) that gives dexterity/int. Anyways getting a new passive animal would be great, since the early game ,before you learn how to hunt more dangerous animals, is boring with only chickens and rabbits and their limited uses.

This is a neat idea, though they'd have to be hard to kill. Maybe the kind of thing early hunters could start with. It won't aggro, just flee if you miss.

Sevenless: We already know real life has some pretty shitty game mechanics, it's why we're here instead.
Avu: The end is near it has finally come to pass: I agree with Lunarius...
Shubla: There are also other reasons to play this game than to maximize your stat gain.

If I add an owl it'll be anything but passive.

There are plenty of animals that could be picked up and hunted for kicks. Field mice, squirrels. moles, hedgehogs, &c&c.

An owl is a bird of prey.

This i agree on. Only con food i've found so far is apples..and pears i think it was? We have meat for Str, Agi, Int, Perception, Dexterity, Charisma but not for dexterity. Or did i miss an animal? I've read on the ring of brodgar that beef gives con, so i guess a tamed Auroch?
