Dont know how people feel about this one, but inability to retrieve bolts really annoys me personally.

Projectiles physics is one of the best ones I have seen. I love the weight behind bolts when we shoot and when they hit a tree, or any other objects. I very much hope that Bows will have similar punch to them.

But then its really immersion breaking to just walk away, leaving bolts/arrows stuck in a tree. I feel like after all this talk about ethical hunting and taking care of nature - im walking around littering. lol

I know its a small thing and hardly important, since we dont need to buy ammo, but its bit different with bows/crossbows, coz retrieved bolts/arrows could be used again, giving us a little 'bonus' for using reusable ammo.
And we wouldnt have to get back to base/car to replenish them.

I'm not sure if you've ever tried to pull an arrow with a broadhead out of a tree, but I have, and it's still in that tree 😂.

As much as Im all about game being as realistic as possible - its one of those things where I wouldnt mind for it to be a bit more 'gamey', coz it doesnt affect overall immersion.
We have unlimited ammo spawning in our trunk, fast travel and 'magical' senses.
Leaving an arrow in a tree just annoys me.😂

Fair, I'm cool with making river a freak of nature who can do that and also not swim. Add it!

I think we should go crazy and make him a proper super-human and also add swimming across semi-shallow rivers to his powers!

...or would it be too much like Assassins Creed then...?🤣

Nah, he's too humble for that. Just a Frankenstein monster, scare of fire and water both, ripping arrows out of trees. If he can flip his jeep like master chief, I'm even more into it

In all seriousness - I did say at the start that I dont know how people feel about this one, coz I was aware that this might be purely me and my OCD.
Wanted to see what others think about it. If they dont add it - I wont be mad.
But it would be a nice touch with little effort. They wouldnt even need animation for this, just a "remove arrow" prompt and then arrow would disappear and go back to our inventory.

I think it's a thing I'd never use, but if they added it I wouldn't bitch about it being added either.

sometimes you see the arrow lying on the ground and it's like, can't we just pick it up???

I was quite surprised to find we couldn’t recover our bolts. With exceptions, you can generally recover & reuse your bolts and arrows. Might lose the head depending on what you hit but as long as the spine’s not cracked or warped it’s generally recoverable.

I’d normally argue that there should be a recovery chance mechanic, but considering ammo is free just let me pick up my bolts/arrows.

why not? In the interest of 'realism' ...
