Stealth Ability - "Animal Costumes" Community Feedback Welcome

[Keyboard Crumbs]

\_-=FREE IDEA FOR THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM=-_/

When you add stealth to the game please consider the following:

Make it so characters with "Stealth Skill" can use high "Butchery Skill"
and specific animal lore to create an "Animal Costume" that
could fill the "cape slot."

The costume would allow the character to look like the animal,
and take the animals posture while on foot to appear as the animal.
(You could add a debuff while in this mode for balance.)

Animals of the same type would be non-aggressive towards the player
While the debuff and costume were active. Allowing the player to blend in
with the local fauna as a decoy.

Size of character could determine ability to use certain costumes. (Optional for balance.)
(Example: Thusar could look like a horse, Oghmir Could be a Pig, etc.)

I truly hope you consider adding this unique function to the game, and I look forward to community feedback.

NOTE: [ I added a poll to guage the community sentiment on the topic. ]

Thank you,

I think this would be pretty interesting. Would definitely still have to be pretty obvious, up close, that you are actually a hulking thursar wearing a springbok like a slightly less twisted Ed Gein. Could be a really fun concept.

I'd also be into the idea of there being spots where you can coat yourself in mud and leaves to provide some small amount of camouflage so you can hide better. Even just a crouch mechanic so that you can duck down into the smaller bushes would be great.

Cool idea!
It could synergize well with the futur name tag changing/hiding mechanics too !

I think this would be awesome as a skill for stealth in general, would go perfect with the skinned animal costumes for sure!

1st tier level 25-50 could allow the mud and leaves (The effect getting better with each 5 levels) , and higher levels 50-100 the ability to make different animals into costumes for stealth.
