why 45 seconds? XD
Thats Rocky, you barbarian! Clive is a free rock, most likely already the leader of a tribe of rocks.
im so glad someone got the reference
Come take a look at ashesofcreation.wiki!
Rolled a Defiant mage. Got through the starter area and into the main game. Killing some wolves and noticed a shield moving across the mini map toward me. I turned just in time to get steam rolled by a random Alliance patrol NPC group. It also killed some of the wolves on it's way through the area.
I logged out and bought the game while still dead.
Personally I love mobs that aren't static. Hope IS will have some that will patrol the zones like the Void Reaver or just smaller mobs that move around.
I am kind of in love this. Some giant slug thing leaving behind slime that you can harvest, or this creatures giant tail is so heavy and hard that it leaves a small valley behind it that exposes gems and minerals. Maybe even this a way that you find rich deposits that let you know this is a good place to gather the resource.
I think stuff like that would make gathering a blast. An actual relationship with the world you can see happening.
just remember a creature that giant, also leaves behind some other things XD that are huge too XD
"if I kill it maybe it will have loot!"
Do you know Aion?
They had these ginourmous untargetable fourlegged creatures, that where just there to look great.
You could land on their backs and refill your stamina, or just watch the sunset.
Did they do anything besides eating? No, no they did not. Where they cool and did they give the zone some more character? Yes, yes they did.
while i agree that there can be more options with them, for example, side quests or achievements or titles or unlocking pets or for example picking up a fallen scale from them ...
i also agree with @Damokles
and you see this guy talking to you
or it could be any other kind of fish in a pond that you could visit every day and every day it has some jokes or etc
i think it would be awesome
There should be other ways to interact with the world though. Little mice that run around the forest floor, occasionally leading you to secret stashes. Weird deific beings that seem to just watch over the region, until you offend or pay homage to them (in ways that you would only know if you pay attention to local folklore). Powerful dragons that could be killed and looted as expected, but could also be let loose on the environment to change it in different ways (depending on the type of dragon).
Like oh, there's no good mining spots nearby your node? Well maybe instead of killing that Earth dragon, you can watch what it likes to eat, bring it more of that, and then get to mining all the, uh, byproducts that are left in it's wake. (Yes, it's dragon poop, but it's also a very sturdy crafting material. Nature is not always so majestic.)
Steven and Jeffrey seemed to really like the idea of such creatures and i really hope that they will implement them
(Another reason is because the pictures here look dope)
Well unless you want skeleboies ?
