Since I'm on a Subnautica 2 high
I'll just say what I think about the "killing fish" in the game
I don't really think outright killing them should get implemented.
I never really killed anything in the first two games anyways, I'd usually just give them a smack and if I felt like they weren't learning a lesson I'd chase them down.
I am virtually exactly the same but I don' chase anything down anymore. I feel like part of the game is integrating with an alien world, and I don't think ruthlessly killing anything in your way is meaningful interactivity,
"Oh WOKEnautica isn't listening to the players we wanna kill every fish we can!!" Like okay Chara put the True Knife away and get out the survival multitool m'kay?
I get the Mango Nibblers and Marrowbreaches being annoying, but its never to a degree where I want to exterminate them, plus,
You have three tools that counter them
Who looks at the Waxmoon, or the Hycean, or any of the smaller fish, and think:
"K I L L ."
Okay, assuming you did get to kill these creatures... now what? The smaller fish; if they're in slashing range, they're in collecting range, unnecessary violence. Waxmoon, does nothing but swim around and be ✨️✨️stunning✨️✨️, you kill them, now what? Wow bro, you look really cool against that nonaggressive animal. Reeeaaal cool.
And even for the only real targets which would be the Nibblers, Marrowbreach, and Collecter Leviathan
First of all, being able to kill these creatures would ruin any actual horror, as all you'd start doing is, instead of going:
"Oooooh whats that?"
You go
"Oooooh a new victim!"
Who tf are you playing for? Nibblers are literally so easy to deal with, one smack, they stop their attack, just get away from the Marrowbreach or Sonic Resonate them, and the Collecter, come on, they're awesome, why would you want to kill them? If you want to powertrip about killing giant creatures, idk, play Helldivers or something, I think the Collector stealth is so much better than a collector boss fight, and honestly, I kinda hope if they add the PRAWN suit back, it doesn't have a drill attachment, because it tricked all the youtoobas and cloutchasers into thinking that felling leviathans was the point of the game. Its not.
Also, despite the PDA explaining that in the presence of a gun, pioneers would often turn it on others or themselves, yet these braindead sponges want guns because they're not smart enough to experience the game's mechanics that are deliberately explained to them, and, isn't one of the ruined bases ruined because there was a riot and people were exploding the base? They would 10000% shank people if they had a knife, the Multitool, while looking like a switchblade, looks a lot more blunt then a tomahawk, and being able to smash small material clusters probably shows that its more of a hammer than a knife.
MonikaCinnyRoll had a good idea in a Flare Gun, that just acted like the Distraction Flares, but gun, it would make sense to have, and would work in game.
Listen, I'm just saying, I think playing the game and watching the creatures gk about their behaviors is so much cooler than just killing them all because you wanna exercise your dominance over these creatures.
LOOK AT EEEEMMMM, COULD YOU SEE THIS IF YOU JUST KILLED THEM ALL ON SIGHT??
Also I didn't know how dangerous the environment is its night its deadly enough alright?
