Grass

[Radacci]

Just a small tip, we don't need the grass so freaking dense that you can't see treasure chests on the ground or Gridania's Marmot's can't be seen :P

actually i remember from 1.0. that i found a treasure box in a bush once, i just accidentally clicked there when walking by. I think it would be really awesome to have hidden treasures like that ^^

Lol just want to second that experience. I was like - WE KILLED THE CYCLOPS... WERE IS THE CHEST!?!?!?!?!?!?

.. it was in the bush


I think the grass in that video could keep chests visible - though to prevent grass clipping through the chest they could introduce grass flattening that pops back up after the chest has disappeared (Day Z does this when you crawl on the ground). For people and animals I think grass physics without flattening would look better, like GW2 and other recent games have grass that moves around you and reacts to spells.

I agree though when the video first started I was like hmm I think my modded skyrim does this, and then all the flying around and nice water/weather.. was like nevermind my skyrim doesn't/cant do that. Although looking like a modded Skyrim is still a pretty great compliment, as modded Skyrim is pretty badass.


I think it would come down to personal preference on this but I think marmots being visible by their tail popped out of the grass or when they stand on their back legs would be pretty cool - specially if the grass is moving around in response to them moving (assuming the environment the Marmot is in has a lot of grass, like Grid is tall grass, while some other forests are full of a kind of ankle high grass).

Also this effect would only exist by player choice (by increasing the density/quality to enthusiast).
