was watching some monster hunter world footage and it got me thinking, this game is really kinda missing a lot of edemic life in the overworld. Wouldnt it be cool if you could capture the animals in the map areas and put them in your house, like for example what we currently have with fish, but a larger expansions of creatures.
should this idea not be sufficient, then maybe releasing minnions, or adding minions of endemic life (like the tadpole) caught through catching them, then said minnions we can release in the house. Bugs frogs and other small critters would walk on the floor, and birds would sit on counters, tables and shelves. it would be hard to program but with some detection ai i could see it working.
it would be a good way to breathe some life into the maps, get people out searching for said endemic life and also take it with them, god even if this is just for minnion collecting its still a great way to get people out and hunting.
we could even get a little Poke-dex of sorts, a list of endemic life within said maps we havent caught, survayed or encountered. perhaps the scholars of sharlyan could give us the book. I'd be so interested to see what kind of edndemic life we encounter in ultima thule ( now, we KNOW endemic life exists in U/T because of the fish in the area) you could even have legendary tier rare endemic life requiring sevral other interactions for it to spawn.
to prevent this content from being ignored or rushed, the endemic life would not be tradable, require certian times or weather to spawn (this makes way more sense for birds and other animals than it currently does for fish) and have a cool pet reward for gathering all endemic life in the expansion. this is just a base idea, youre free to add your own little tweeks or ways youde like it to be implimented
alternitively, this could be a 4th DOL job, requiring you to survay the world, map it, note down its botanic and geological life. and capture some of creatures for zoological study. however. this is a pipe dream and far to much to expect to be added. but it would be a great way to tie in all 3 other DOL to eachother.
some job names could be Reasercher/Hunter/Pioneer/Zoologist
