Fishing mechanics

    With this feature being pretty much confirmed how would you like to see it work? Rather than a “push button to catch” system like in Monster Hunter World or Ark I think something like Far Cry 5 or Final Fantasy 15 would be more fun and a bit more rewarding too, having to deal with line tension etc.

    Thoughts?

    Personally I'd prefer some sort of spear fishing mechanic.

    With spear fishing it would bring sharks into the game, instead of being an annoyance they would be a commodity. Plus Rare could easily bring in other types of "big fish" Tuna for example.

    Also who wouldn't want a tasty Meg stake :D

    I'd honestly just like a chill, cast line over the ship, wait for the catch and reel or pull it in.

    I don't care much for fishing "minigames" where you have to wiggle the lures, slow reel and recast, buy stronger rods, bait, or lures..

    Just keep it simple and fun

    I'd love a final fantasy 15 fishing system.
    And maybe a new NPC shop keeper who you can purchase Lures from.
    But knowing SoT it'll probably juat be a simple system.
    Not that a simple system is a such a Bad

    I think they confirmed it in the Comic Con live stream.
    But I heard it from SoT HQ.

    well for the fishing I'm guessing it would be sitting still with a net,rods or spears.

    Eh, unless they're going to make it a pretty big part of the game, I think keeping it simple is for the best.

    I always viewed fishing would be more of a past time; something to do while sailing between islands or while your waiting for crewmates to join or something. Having it be really complicated doesn't seem to fit with SoT's laid back style.

    Just my thoughts, anyway.

    you can much easier, just stun the fish throwing a barrel of gunpowder into the water))

    Can we not just drop lit gunpowder barrels off the ship and watch the fish float up? :P
