Fall DLC 2023 Speculation
- Thread starter Leaf Productions
- Start date
Before the arid animal pack I doubted Frontier would add more than one niche of hoofstock to a pack, but now we're getting two antelopes. So I think it's very likely we could end up with both the Markhor and Takin, as well as the Pallas's Cat. Other than those guys, I think we may get some hopefully unique species. I would expect the spectacled bear too, but don't really view them as "another carnivorian"
So was the hamadryas for an arid/desert theme...
Disagree, but the Hamadryas being absent from the Arid pack is exactly why I think the gelada is guaranteed for a mountain pack.
I believe one or the other was always on the cards, even though they aren't even in the same group of monkeys. The absence of the Hamadryas tells me they will end up going with the gelada. For a mountain theme, the gelada fits better than the Hamadryas, because such a theme will inevitably focus on "traditional" mountainscapes, rather than the drier, scrubby mountains the baboon lives on. The gelada lives in lush mountain meadows, an environment that tends to spring to mind when people think "mountains".
While I would never say it's completely guaranteed, of course, the chances are very high. Which is disappointing, because the Hamadryas baboon is a much better pick.
Yes, I've partaken in the meme.
Did they ever miss such an obvious inclusion before?
Yes, but the animals were added later. Stuff like the Cassowary getting in the Australia pack instead of the Emu, capybara not making the South America, and I'm sure some others I'm forgetting. I think its safe to assume we'll get some sort of baboon before the end of the year.
These to me feel like there were just not enough slots in the pack, as the pther choices were also obvious.
But here we got both the off-theme rhino, and the oddballs dama and ass, plus the extra antelope the addax. Anyone of them doesn't feel near as essential as the baboon.
Gray fox when?
We need the King of the Canids, the Vulpine Vigilante, the Delightful Dog...
That or a South American animal pack, kinda like what we got with the arid pack

Capybara feels a lot more essential to me than a llama, and the emu is way more important to Australia than the cassowary.
For the baboon here, the only real one it could've displaced is the dama. Everything else feels pretty important.

The rhino feels off theme, that's the one I'd take off for the baboon, and reserve it for a safari pack.
While this is true, it's worth noting that Frontier pre-plans DLCs for around a year. So when they added the Cassowary instead of the Emu or skiped the Arctic Fox in the Arctic pack, they did not plan to add them later, yet. That was probably only after the META wishlist and / or some uproar. A situation we won't have forever and probably don't even have now anymore, assuming this is the last year of paid DLC.
I wouldn't bet on the baboon at this point.
I think there should be 3 species which should make it into a mountain themed Pack:
An Asian goat (Markhor or Takin)
Spectacled Bear
Gelada or Hamadryas Baboon
I could imagine that the Baboon was Not included into the arid Pack because it could be used as a Headliner animal within such a pack (we already had 2 Bears as Headliner and I do Not think Frontier will choose a goat species)

I was working on another drowning kid meme, animals that frontier prioritizes, should give attention and abandoned. Don’t have a good example for the abandoned which would be the skeleton in the meme.
I would be extatic with that pack
