Here's a link to it if you are somehow lazy.

i say yes to hunting, but no to fishing (unless fishing can be made not boring)

 

[Kniggit]

no fishing, id rather shoot 50 deer than wait around for once measly little fish....

Now whaling, that kind of fishing i wouldnt mind

 

[Lost-Lamb]

Fishing is nice if its done good. Else leave it. Hunting probably wouldn't be hard to make enjoyable

 

[Orion]

w00t! Majority rules! Let's start a chant...

We want Hunting! We Want Hunting!
*waves picket sign at developers*
Hunt-ing! Hunt-ing!

 

[ryujin]

i feel we should have both but huntiong mostly. fishing isnt a first priority.

 

[Colovion]

Hunting. I'd love to have a quest where I'd have to slay a man-eating bear that locals claim has taken two score shafts in the hide without missing a step.

*bumped* this poll is important to the future of this game!!!... I think...

Armagan ffs look at this post! We want to kill poor defenseless animals for the sake of feeding ourselves and our army of 25 peasants!!! Please?

 

[Reinhart]

I love this idea, especially hunting. It wouldn't serve a really practical purpose but supplying food and perhaps some cash for selling the food... BUT it would a great deal of fun and an incredible game like this with some decent mini-games would own my life.

 

[slavetrader]

mmm fishing.. another great use for javelins..

oh, that reminds me.. bring in the trident as a weapon mmkay?

 

[Samieldracul]

I'd say both. If I had to pick one, hunting. But fish are in the game as eatable, so why not do fishing, too? Could be a nice way to take in the beautiful scenery, which this game does feature.

Does this mean you could technically set up camp outside if you bought tents?

 

[JohnathanStrange]

Yes, I would like to fish.

BUT I do not want to fight the fish, or fight while fishing, or have to fight in order to fish, or fish in order to fight.

Just fish, with a pole or with a net. Maybe kick back on the beach. Enjoy the cool Caladrian breezes and some of that ale that I was supposed to take to Wercheg.

Exactly what I'm saying.

Big thumbs-up to hunting from me.

As far as fishing goes, I think that spear fishing would be both relatively easy to implement and a lot more fun than rod-and-line fishing; but to maintain consistency with my previous statement I'd say that's more like "hunting fish" than "fishing". ::eyeshift::

Anyway, considering that the skills needed for rod-and-line fishing are in no way related to the skills needed to be a fighter -- which is basically what all players in the game end up being, in one way or another -- I don't think it fits in well unless you then proceed to simulate all other aspects of medieval life, such as farming, crafting, etc. and turn them into viable career options. Hunting and spearfishing however do apply the same skills used in combat, so they would fit in perfectly.

 

[WipperSnipper]

I think their should be an option to do rod-and-line fishing or just spear fishing.

Hunting would be fun , i would love to hunt animal's , so me and my grand army of peasent's can eat at night...

 

[Saint]

I say yes to both, hunting could be great fun, and gives opportunities for quests and such, it also gives a chance to throw in bands of poachers going for things that are off limits (The king's personal deer near Sargoth, maybe?) Or doing a spot of poaching yourself. Fishing I think should be rod-and-line, and spear-fishing, so people who think normal would be boring aren't discouraged, and the people who want to do normal aren't discouraged.

 

[Skanky Burns]

While I was leaning towards "neither", hunting could actually be fun. Plus the economy could do with several extra types of meat. You can already get horse-meat, why not others too?

 

[LetterAfterZ]

Hunting would be a good way to start out a character too. You could get animal hides and furs as well as meat to sell.

These sort of ideas are good, however, there's alot of other things i'd love to see arma spend his time making over these first

 

[NikkTheTrick]

I think hunting should be avaliable but not required (all you get from it avaliable in stores) - simply another monymaker.

 

[Blackspirit]

Hmm, I put neither. I wouldn't like to see Mount&Blade turn into DeerHunter.

If hunting was implemented, I'd rather like to see smithing implemented as well.

I just don't see hunting as fun. If I HAD to hunt in the game, I'd be put off, optional money maker for people would be fine...
