I love this game, and I think the team is doing such an amazing job with it. I've sunk several hundred hours into it and plan to sink several hundred more in. I've noticed some things that I think would be really great to implement, and I decided to compile them here!
In no particular order:
Ability to customize armor (maybe a trim mechanic, or just different styles similar to how shields have)
Another tier of stealth armor (maybe between Mountain and Plains-tier, using Lox hide and wolf pelt?). I love stealth gameplay in this game, and I think it'd be nice for higher level stealth.
Reworking Spears, or just calling them Javelins. They're very fun to throw, but they feel like jankier daggers in melee. I think maybe giving them an underhand grip and a longer stab would make them a lot more viable. I love that there's such variety in the weapons in this game, but I feel like spears are one of the worse options, which sucks, because they're a really neat idea.
Mounting shields on the sides of longships and karves: It'd look badass as fuck.
Maybe a Mistlands-tier ranger armor? I love the root armor, it looks so sick and is really useful. I just like the idea of continuing stealth and ranger armor trees!
Throwing knives would also be neat. Maybe just Obsidian shards or something, that you can freeze or poison.
More uses for wolf meat. There's no 60-health food, resulting in an awkward gap. Maybe wolfsmeat stew or something?
Anyway, feel free to leave comments. Obviously the devs are already working on new content and by no means do I expect any of this, just thought I'd share some ideas 🙂
