I’m not sure if this was scrapped or put off till a later time(because I saw it on the old kickstarter). But I think we need this to in the game at some point. I hope the devs see this to show that this mode would still be highly appreciated.

I REALLY would like to have a pov mode for the player in the game from the perspective of the humans in the park, more specifically as a park ranger. This is to get more of the sense of the immense scale of these extinct animals. I think it would take the game to an another level.

I would love to take control of a park ranger in a PK themed jeep. Nigel Marven Prehistoric Park style. You can even add the mechanic of needing to go into park ranger mode because you need to tranquilize an animal for multiple reasons. You could get accompanied by a security guard too if you want to add to the safety so that predators are less likely to chase you as a mechanic. You could choose to between going alone in or not.

A mechanic implemented could be a danger rating system unique to all the animals. Based on a number of factors. It could go from 1-10 stars and change in percentage value based on many the attributes of the animal. Informing the ranger how safe/unsafe it is getting into the enclosure with the animals. Your choice to go with security or not also affects this rating.

You could have carnivorous dinosaurs/Cenozoic predators occasionally chasing you out of prey drive curiosity. You could also have mega herbivore herds run alongside or away from the jeep out of fear of the noise. Adding to the cinematic quality of the game. Photo mode would go hard as a ranger. As a ranger you could get photos that you couldn’t ordinarily get as a park manager.

One last thing I’d like to mention that would benefit the game if we had this mode. You can get up close and personal with the maps that the devs poured so much love and work into and park managers can get a new appreciation for the enclosures they built.

Lmk what you guys think and if you like these idea, comment below for some other things to add to this concept. There is so much room to play with this idea so make sure to make your personal wants/ideas for this potential would be. Also make sure to like the post if you want the devs to see it.

yeah if you really need first person right now theres a half decent mod on nexus that works well enough. main issue is that everything is rendered from your other camera's perspective and some decorations aren't rendered.

Also one last thing, depending on the environment we could have different vehicles that aid in the job of the ranger. Such as in a aquatic setting you could have a boat like in exhibit A. Or a snowmobile in exhibit B for more tundra like environments. Imagine a PK themed boat, or a snowmobile, or a helicopter, or a jeep.
