Seeing the Wild Hunt was thought to forebode some catastrophe such as war or plague, or at best the death of the one who witnessed it. The hunters are generally the souls of the dead or ghostly dogs, sometimes fairies, valkyries, or elves.

The leader of the hunt is often a named figure associated with Odin in Germanic legends, but may variously be a historical or legendary figure like Theodoric the Great, the Danish king Valdemar Atterdag, the dragon slayer Sigurd, the Welsh psychopomp Gwyn ap Nudd, biblical figures such as Herod, Cain, Gabriel, or the Devil, or an unidentified lost soul or spirit either male or female. Wild Hunts typically involve a chase led by a mythological figure escorted by a ghostly or supernatural group of hunters engaged in pursuit. The Wild Hunt is a folklore motif occurring across various northern European cultures (motif E501 per Thompson). I know many people complain about multitudes of things but when it comes to a hunting game it has to be realistic and I am just not getting that from this game which is unfortunate.For other uses, see Wild Hunt (disambiguation).Īsgårdsreien (1872) by Peter Nicolai Arbo If that happened I would happily buy the game and play it. Make it as realistic as possible and have an actual vast map IMO. They should gather information pertaining to real animal populations for the regions they have for their maps. No matter what anybody changes or does, there will always be someone complaining and wanting something 'just because' and that idea or change really doesn't change anything and we are all back to square one, a complete circle jerk of events. but, since the 'too many animals crying' reduced the population (patch 1.2) the player is now actually spending 4-6 hours walking around to get a good trophy with reduced grinding because the level 0-4 animals are now far and few between.

If our hunting area was 100 sq miles, we would have 100 animals to play with. These animals are 'home bodies', meaning that one animal will spend it's entire life living in a bout 1 sq mile (640 acres). I just read an article about Blacktail deer in Oregon. Having more maps that link to one another would be a better idea at expanding the regions (reserves). Performance wise, the current map size seems good to me. Players are already complaining it takes many hours to unlock something, I can't even imagine a cpu player walking 6 hours to get anywhere before the tears start to flow. I think the IRL hunters would appreciate a big map, but computer gamers are nortoriously lazy and time restricted. I hunt IRL and will hike for 4-6 hours to get to a spot then camp out for a few days.
