Raven Scar

Tiered Spike Traps, maybe T2 could be with Red Ant Mandibles and T3 with Scorpion Stings that venom over time.

if the first game is any indication, it'll be expansion updates that may require a reset, i remember when they added the pond in it didn't need a fresh start, same with the trash bags, yet bigger areas, ie. The sandbox, upper yard, picnic table did need a fresh start as they altered the game world. So if we go by that my guess is AXL's arena probably won't need a fresh start. But considering, unlike the first game, you can't explore out of bounds areas, its probable that was done to avoid constant fresh starts

i would suggest, if you haven't already, focus on Smithing, upgrade your armour and weapons, it could help keep you alive

i haven't noticed this as I've only recently started expanding my house, currently 4 floors with the newest 4th floor being the armoury and turret bay, but this seems like something that may get tweaked in the future

hopefully the devs see this post and respond accordingly, i personally am not bothered by the bugs but i do tingle and get the shivers whenever i fight a Wolf spider or a mantis. As for the roaches, they tend to jumpscare me because I focus on current task and then they walk in front of me

I get that but sometimes its pointless, like with clay, in the little puddle under the snackbar, there's 3 lumps of clay, digging one then collecting the chunks only for the buggy to get in the way causing you to mount is annoying when you still have 2 more lumps to dig

one slight issue I noticed is that when on a resource run, clay for example, i dismount, dig the clay, then when i go to nab the clay, my ANTonio (buggy) gets in the way and makes me mount him. Obvious fix have them follow from a distance

I get what you're saying and yes it would be nice to have a console hotkey for switching pov, but you can just pause the game and switch it that way, press start, press x, simple really but seems like its a very ignored feature
