TastyFootcream Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Best thing about old Bethesda open worlds was exploring well made handcrafted maps and environments. The procedurally generated maps are pretty much with out a doubt unnecessary boring bloat added to the game. My idea is basically remove all the systems and planets that do not feature any actual "meaty" story content if at all possible. And perhaps keep a planet, 1 of each type in the game that features a unique biome that the planets with non-procedural maps and story content don't have. I'm not suggesting to completely remove all the procedural generation, just keep it limited to planets that feature main and side story content and hand crafted maps made by Bethesda. This could help make the game feel more focused and less empty. An additional Idea is to restrict animals to specific planets to make the worlds more believable. It kills immersion when I see a a tiny worm that is classified as the "apex predator" on one world, and in addition to that then go to a planet on the opposite end of the explorable systems map to find that same worm is at the bottom of the food chain. # of types of raw material resources harvested on planets with player outposts would have to be adjusted too.

Apis4 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 (edited) But it is actually REALISTIC that animals can be Apex predators in ONE environ.... but OUTCLASSED entirely in another, and even be food. In places with no large terrestrial predators, things like Badgers and Foxes, are APEX PREDATORS.... but in places where they have things like BEARS and 'Big Cats'.... Badgers and Foxes are ON THE MENU. The Tasmanian Devil is the APEX PREDATOR on the island of Tasmania.... but ONLY there... because they only live THERE. At least since the Tasmanian Tiger went extinct in 1936. They DID used to live on MAINLAND Australia though, as did Tasmanian Tigers, actually..... however.... you know what else lives on Mainland Australia? Dingos. Marsupials are older than Cannis mammals.... so for a while there, the Tassie Devil was SECOND from the top of the Terrestrial Predator food chain.......after the Tassie Tiger...... .....but then, the Dingo came along... and BOOM. They are known as Tasmanian Devils and Tigers, because Dingos couldnt get to Tasmania.... so the Devils that got stuck there when it broke off mainland Australia, were saved, and became Apex Predators. On mainland Australia, after that, THEY BECAME DINGO FOOD. Edited July 3 by Apis4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
