Game made me feel like an ivory hunter. I'm bummed out over it

[ElCabong]

Just got the bike and the next traider quest took me to the winter biome. By extreme luck I looted a yellow pipe machine gun, magazine extender mod, and a muzzle brake. That's a great find on your first mission. And then the reward was 50 or was it a hundred? Ammo for it. I noticed a puma. I hate them things. I needed meat. Puma meat!

 

I stealthed out, got within 30 yards of it, and let him have it full auto. Hit him a few times he started running toward me and I had an oh s*** he's going to get to me minute. Then he died. And then I felt like an ivory hunter. Didn't stop me from doing the same thing to a direwolf just outside the trader's store. I have all the meat I need now.

 

But I'm still bummed out just a little.

If you want some excitement, I can pull out some of the code from my mod.

 

Pipe machine gun is slower fire and uses 9 mm ammo.  Can't find it in loot, have to craft it.  Can't craft above Q2.  Can't repair it.  Can't add mods to it.

 

That should make taking out pumas (mountain lions) a bit more exciting on your end  😁

Yeah, the tusked pumas are the worst.

Digital pumas will never make the endangered species list so you can relax.

Ya, they are part of the whole Vulture family :).

   Reminds me of my daughter crying because i allowed my pet to eat sheep on balcknwhite 2 and then bursting into tears hours later when i rode of a cliff in Skyrim and my HORSE died! Not a word about my poor crumpled corpse lying beside it! Bloody kids!

So... other than where you went hunting, what you were hunting, what you were hunting with, why you were hunting it, and what you walked away with, it was exactly like ivory hunting. Got it.

I wish games would stop using wolves and bears as trash mobs. It's such a generic lazy uncreative enemy. The way they behave in most games is so completely unlike how they behave IRL. Sure, let the player hunt them if the mechanics demand it but at least make them semi-realistic by making them elusive and hard to find. In the majority of games they're just zombies that mindlessly attack on sight with no self-preservation.

That's because said critters are just meat delivery systems.

 

(now, WHO is getting the meat deliverd, the player or the critter... well...)
