resource interactions

[anjenthedog]

So... I decided to go out on a collection "quest" to restock my herbs and such.

 

while I was doing it, I realized something that made me wonder about other possible somethings

 

EX: If I pick al the flowers from a given area, the local insect population seems to go down temporarily (ie butterflies/moths), regardless of whether I catch them or not

 

EX: If I pick all the alchemical fish from a given pond area where they're active, the dragon flies in that area tend to disappear (regardless of whether I can catch any dragon flies)

 

Are there any other interdependencies in game that might be of value to recognize?

I know that the script used by insects allows them to congregate around flowers and such. So removing the flowers from a particular location will cause them to fly further afield looking for more flowers provided both the insects and the nearest flowers are loaded in active cells.

 

The only other interaction that I know:

Kill a mammoth near a Giant camp > get attacked by a Giant

Get whacked by a Giant > get a glimpse of a long lost Dwemeri satellite...

I figured it was something like that (as opposed to dying or vanishing out of the blue)

 

Yes, if a giant whacks you with his big stick, you're possibly in for an "exciting", one-way carnival ride. Only thing missing is the bell at the top to smack your head into. ;)
