how about...

[Sean1]

camping supplies like fire starter kit or a liter lawl food of course and some BEEF jerky !!!!

[mrtibbs]

How would you see these working within the context of the game?

What use would you see them being?

[martijn]

do you mean somting like starting a camp fire every where in the game?

[Sean1]

no only at campsite u might be able to start fires i think fire starting should be based on what level ure at and mr tibbs the use of the food and stuff like cabela's games they use medicpacks and hydration bladders to heal them selves when attack or faling down a hill

If u didn't know Sean1 Cabelas was (and still is) a complete faliure in the hunting genre. To copy anything from that game would be very unwise! Now if you're saying maybe to have the stuff u mentioned and change it up completely and make it unique i guess that'd be a possibility. I believe the HW dev's wanna make this game unique in every way and to copy a something from a game isn't a good idea. See what i'm saying?

I don't think you should apply that theory to everything however, a lot of games are successful because they burrow popular features from their competition. I personally think the developers should take a look at all their competition past and present, to see what was successful and why but also the games downfalls and come up with the best of all worlds. But also original ideas are never bad either, unless of course they are bad original ideas, but i'm sure the rangers help sort those out.

But back on to the threads topic, if theres a mechanic in place where it would be useful, such as damage or stamina then it would be useful. So if Sean1, if you can come up with the foundations for the system in your suggestion it might be interesting and add some extra depth.
