This could make hunting real profession with player skills and knowledge required and some depth in action (like we already have in farming, and i hope we will have in mining and wood industry). At least small game hunting looks simply illogical with frontal face to face combat ... how about system of different traps and baits, requiring from player to know where and how its better to place said traps and how to mask them, what baits to use for different games.
Also professional hunter could get more stuff from dead game (not only more meat, but different organs, bones itc) that can be used in cooking, alchemy, witchcraft, even carpentry (bone glue) ...
Of couse i understand its not possible right now but i would be glad to hear from Jorb or Loftar if they like the idea and if such hunting overhaul is possible in future ? Would make hunting feel more like frontier conquering action and less repetitive and boring.
PS: i still feel ok about direct fighting vs agressive creatures of darkness and big animals like bears. I would even add more "survival" vs nature in everyday pilligrim's life
(play Dont Starve http://www.dontstarvegame.com/blog/ to see what i mean).
). Am talking about hunting being intresting in long term with its own legends and heroes, and not just one more type of grind for materials.
