Hardcore mode

[lucid forum]

Simple premise... A stripped down game mode made to be more challenging and realistic.
It could be done sufficiently well only by tweaking already existing game settings.

For instance:

-Less warning calls

-No spotting

-Better animal sight

-Longer fleeing time

-Lower animal population

-Less effective callers (for most if not all animals)

-Shorter animal zones (drinking only for half and hour or so)

-Animal zones dont show up on map

And animal zones cover a larger arean, currently its about 100m²

Feel free to add more suggestions, this is just a short list, since i dont know how many people would even be interested in such a different experience. But surely it cant be a hard addition to implement into the game, right?

(Also add option for higher FOV while aiming down sights)

Bushes and shrubs slowing down animals and players - the way water does already, might also be a cool edition.

But all of this is very contradictory to the trophy hunters and i think they are the majority...

Still, tell me what you think.

No hunter mate to mark tracks or highlight them, you have to track and follow yourself

I'd prefer if these realism features could all be turned on and off in a big menu to create the perfect hunt

I played more then 2000 h without mark of tracks (off in menu ) and a hunter mate. Really pleasure for stalker hunt.
