“Some of our designers, we have a couple of them that are just in charge of what we call world interaction... or random things,” said Howard.

“This guy setup just making wolves go out in hunting packs, so we have these wolves that go out to hunt and if they kill something... we have mammoths, which you’ll see at E3, and they can hunt a mammoth and kill it, and then they’ll hang out by it for a while,” he continued.

“It’s like their kill... and then they’ll go back on their route. I mean, like honestly, something like that takes 15 minutes for our designers.”

“It’s actually something we didn’t realise people wanted... we give people bows, you give them deers, they want to hunt. We didn’t realise that initially, so we’re trying to add that. It’s a common question... we’re trying to add more.”

Really sorry if this is old!

Good stuff, although I believe mammoths were either confirmed or largely hinted already. Nice to know they look for little things like this that we want. I just hope they don't look too hard or Dar-Ma will be making a return with a corn hat and an AK47 :ahhh:

I hope if they kill a mammoth they don't just walk away but actually devour the corpse - otherwise it's just there for no reason.

Was it a typo when he said a "mammoth can hunt a mammoth and kill it"? Did he mean a mammoth can hunt something else?

Awesome, all I've heard about mammoths is other members saying wolves will hunt them but none of this stuff. Can't wait to see them at E3, thanks!

All of this had been hinted in the recent slew of articles, but confirmation of features is always nice.
