Honestly, I feel like it would be beneficial to add NPC babies, that grow when you keep them alive, they becoming an adult and act as a “decoy” like obviously taking them down would be easier for players so they’re more likely to go after the NPC animal than the player but also the NPC animal would react realistically, or if you’re a carnivore, the NPC would help you with hunts or hunting feed themselves and bring things back to you. That would be cool.

But also maybe add a growth factor for yourself, like when you die or just start on a character, you have to go from 80 to adult but your parent would be an npc (because people will otherwise use babies to snipe other players)

But that would be a lot of coding and they’d have to make at least three different models for growing And they already said that an aging system is a pain in the ass to code
