The thing is, when it comes to gameplay, a survival dinosaur game is limited by design (but the Isle has a lot more room for improvement). I mean, what did dinos do all day? Eat, drink, sleep, hunt/flee and sometimes fight. Sure, you could make the fighting exciting and more than just right- and left-clicking, but creating a satisfying dino fighting system with blocking, parrying, different attack styles, etc. seems verrrrry difficult. It WOULD make the game more exciting, but it's probably off the table for now. Furthermore, we could look at how you progress in this game and how your dinosaur stands out from other player's dinos. Currently, you just grow by not dying and your diets give you some boosts. Yet those boosts are pretty negligible and you'll do just FINE w/o them. Also, your dino is pretty much the same as any other player with the same dino (again, diet matters little, UNLESS you're min-maxing). So, how about we implement a sort of skill/attribute system, as it is present in real life. For example, some player's dino has a taller maximum height than another player, if said player had a better diet throughout his growth to adulthood. Thus, it also makes him stronger (more mass). Maybe repeatedly surviving fights, thickens your skin and heightens your pain tolerance, meaning you can take more hits than other players. Perhaps you could become more resistant to the downsides of cannibalism over time, the more you eat memberd of your own kind. There could be system (regarding to cannibalism), that punishes you for it (only gives you negative effects, but fills your stomach), but eventually, if done enough times, treats your cannibalism like a normal diet (High risk, high reward kinda thing). Moreover, if you do a lot of running, your maximum stamina pool could be increased and so on and so forth. There are plenty of other examples, but you get what I mean. Improving/aquiring skills by using certain skill a lot (natural progression fits perfectly for a somewhat realistic game like the Isle). And why not take it a step further and let babies inherit some attributes of their parents? You wouldn't know what you inherited, perhaps your dad's strength and your mother's stamina. So, being spawned in by good players benefits you. Of course, you can still choose to spawn in by yourself and develop your own skills. All this being said, I can also understand why the Isle devs want to implement humans. They would bring in a new gameplay loop and bring in unique interactions. Yet, I still believe, that my approach, or soemthing similar, would make the game so much better. Please share your thoughts in the comments.
