Early sketching/concept art of the Ranger NPC. This will be part of a much larger asset dump for The Ranger & hunting/tracking trials/training. Heavily modeled after my husband and Arthur Morgan x) All things relating to hunting/wildlife/trials must be discussed with him during the quest-line.
Outfits/companions vary depending on location/season/events. Some examples:
Tundra region: the Trooper is outfitted with a 6 dog sled team led by Leonidas and Laika. Sled/Campfire/dog behavior triggers events.
Temperate region: The trooper seems to get around with a light rucksack, Goliath mule, and a Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Scavengers/infant animals trigger events.
Desert region: MustangxQuarter horse and a Rhodesian Ridgeback. Red Tailed Hawk for a special tracking event.
Tropical region: Warmblood horse with an Ibizan hound. Different wildlife such as lemurs/ocelts/parrots trigger events. Found remains trigger an anti-poaching event.
Marine region: The trooper seems to get around with a rucksack, Goliath mule, and Bernese Mountain Dog. Wildlife interacting with the local town triggers habitat displacement event.
