The evil savages are usually the antagonists. The fact that they e.g. eat people is used to show that they're evil, thus giving the heroes a justification to kill them in huge numbers.

There are exceptions, like Fremen in Dune and Heinlein's martians, but at least those two are justified by the VERY harsh worlds they live in. An overgrown world is full of plant material that can be substituted, so the shock of "civilized" people doing horrible things like that would be quite jarring. Especially for rabbits, who are herbivores.

I wonder what do dogs and cats eat in Overgrowth, cats are carnivore and dogs omnivore, I guess fish could be an option but there has to be some mammals in their diet.

Fish, birds and reptiles, lizards and snakes are non-sentient, AFAIK. They might be enough.

Wolves eat at least rabbits, possibly members of all races.

In the Overgrowth comic there's a dog eating some kind of salami, which is normally made of pork and beef, if they aren't eating other civilized species,that implies that there are some kind of farm animals, like cows, pigs, maybe sheep, etc...
So if those kind of animals exist in the Overgrowth world there could be leather!
I'm going to ask the developers about it.

Rope dynamics or some other way to create some of these infeasible weapons. They'd be pretty much impossible to do well, but they look so damn cool...

Farming is an act of grinding in order to get huge amounts of a material.
It is quite prevalent in MMOs like WoW and Runescape.
This act removes fun for other people as you hog up everything leaving nothing for anyone.
It can also be compared to griefing.
That out of the way,your suggestion is actually good because this is not an MMO but on the other hand that kind of system can only work as in a sandbox game which ofcourse overgrowth isn't.

As Freshbite said, Coop campaigning, they said there would be coop multiplayer, but didn't say weather it would be coop campaigning or just individual missions.

Well custom armor is cool and all, but hopefully there'd be some sort of unlocks system going on the game....

Yes, I strongly agree with it not being an MMORPG, that would be lame.
I don't believe you would need farming, I was just thinking there might be some kind of system where you buy the materials from like a blacksmith or some other place, and click and drag them into place, in a modular sort of way. I didn't mean ground up.

Decapitation, or just lims in common falling off. Like if i do a really awesome punch to the head, i wanna see blood. A decapitation from a punch or kick miight be overkill, and perhaps OG isn't supposed to be so gory. But i would definately like it :wink:
