Wildlife Ideas

[Udysseus 2]

Ever since I first played the mod DayZ for ARMA 2, I didn't like how safe the woods were. Some of the things that I would hope to see implemented when standalone adds hunting and animals is deadly creatures in some woods such as large elk, bears and snakes. This might give players a reason to stay on roads instead of stick to trees or take shortcuts in woods and might put some fear in players at night going into woods since there could be creatures that could easily kill them. Another feature I would like to see is bee's nest to spawn on some random trees. If a tree gets cut down or knocked down by a player it could cause bee's to chase the player and cause damage and injury. Since physics feature is right around the corner, maybe you could throw a rock at a nest to knock it down and harvest honey from it or store the honey in a container. Since Dayz is a zombie mod and animals could carry diseases, maybe there should be zombie creatures in the woods as well as normal wildlife that have infected meat on them and could have a distinct scent that the player could smell to warn him that one is nearby as well as a different look than normal wildlife.

 

Here are some pics to help give you an idea of what I was thinking of:

Bee's Nest:

You'd likely find hives in hollow trunks of trees or in fallen logs, and you would get stung in the process (depending on the breed of bee) even with smoke and a suit.

 

As for zombie animals...not quite sure, I've still not gotten my hands on the paper Rocket's brother did on the zombies/infected, but the virus might not be transmitted to other species, or it may.  There are going to be food borne illnesses and such, so I don't see why you wouldn't occasionally get some meat that's infected or diseased, though cooking things thoroughly should kill most of them.
