What I Wish Had Happened When My Kubrow Fully Hatched

[effinator]

Imagine the kubrow hatching out of its egg, it is not welcomed by the warmth of an actual kubrow mother or is in its natural wild habitat. Instead, it sees a cold metal ship with no grass or anything of the sorts, all kind of weird noises coming from within. Naturally, the little bugger would feel terrified. Then there's you, be it a rhino or an ember, a metal frame (i think it's metal? ) approaching it. It should be trying to push as far away as possible in the incubator. Instead, our kubrows are happy-go-lucky from the very first moment they hatch out. They don't care at all they have been born by technological means. They immediately seem to be loyal to us even when we're total strangers.

 

This is what I wish had happened instead

 

That little moment of bonding, be it not exactly as the movie shows it, but just having that first interaction, where you can calm a scared animal down by gently approaching it, showing it there's no need to be afraid, that you're there to take care of it, to protect it. Just a little heartwarming moment where you bond with your kubrow to gain its loyalty to you until he grows up to be your most trustworthy ally in the battle.

 

While it doesn't really add anything in terms of functionality, it would certainly be a very nice touch. While I know there can be theories such as the kubrow, seeing you as the only and first live thing assume you are its parent, I still feel something along the lines of such bonding is missing out.

I'll refrain from making a second kubrow until something like that is put.

 

Half-joking of course, since I probably still will make more, but I would REALLY love something like that. With the new quest system, or more specifically the prologue, and the interaction button with the kubrows, short cutscenes/cutscene interactions could easily be brought further without being detrimental to gameplay I think (especially since this would happen on the ship).

agree

That'd be awesome! Have a small cutscene where the player helps it out of the egg, or calms it down as it whimpers in confusion.

Wait, I'm sorry. Why would the Kubrow be frightened? It has just come out of its shell and knows not what his mother, or himself for that matter should look like. I believe the scenario portrayed is correct in it's depiction. Even the whirring of engines and lack of greenery would not really make the Kubrow feel scared. It is all just new to him/her. I think it is fine as is really.

Either way, the kubrow puppy wouldn't be all "OMG SO HAPPY!" as it is. It would be naturally cautious, curious, but not be cowering in fear.

You really have no way of knowing that... its not a dog why is everyone comparing it to dogs? its a battle hound thing for Christ sake! its not gonna be scared, probably doesnt even have the ability to be scared.
