Whale hunting and whales in general

  • Yes whale hunting, make a dangerous monstro or sea beast that's hard to hunt like the megalodon, as well whales that are not hostile but can still be attack but if provoked can make your crew use a lot of planks so gotta team up.

  • Never understood why people want it here.

    I don't get looking at something like a whale and wanting to take it out. Especially in a situation where it's clearly not needed for the environment that exists within the game.

    A meg is a battle for the hunting ground, not the same situation as a whale.

    The game itself is escapism and fantasy but it's built on a real ecosystem. One where whaling just doesn't make sense or pass the vibe check, imo.

    Whales in general would be very cool, without the hunting.

  • The fantasy of sailing as a giant whale surfaces swimming next to your ship and making whale sounds would be incredible.

    But pirates would shoot them with cannonballs, and that definitely isn’t the vibe.

    The gameplay of fighting a whale would just be a lame megaladon.

  • Maybe whales could be protected by the murfolk and if you damage a whale it sinks into the sea and you get absolutely annihilated by sirens. Or a mermaid spawns and kegs you.

  • @akatsuki-1866 I feel like the sea serpent is what we'd want for this kind of monster.

  • They are definitely not adding whaling to this game. It was a fun addition to black flag, but that game touched on plenty of events that many companies now would not even poke with a stick, and as a whole, offers very little to be gained relative to possible outcry.

    I don't want a whale hunt.
    These animals have suffered enough misery historically and in reality.
    Sea of Thieves is a fantasy pirate setting.

    There are undead, megalodons and other things.

    Whales are not dangerous animals and should not be portrayed as such.
    Feel free to add more fantasy sea creatures like a sea serpent or whatever.

    But I find the whale hunt disgusting and also inappropriate for the more relaxed adventure mood.

  • Whales yes.
    Whale hunting, no.
    Seeing one while diving would be cool.

  • @naoenagi Please avoid engaging in personal arguments and derailing the topic of the thread. It is fine to debate the content of the post, and the viewpoints therein, but disrespecting any of your fellow pirates personally is against the pirate code, and our forum rules.
