It upsets me that you rather see those abominations back then things like Therizinosaurus and Protoceratops.
What species are left to be added?
- Thread starter bhoefert
- Start date
All of those species are great ideas and I think more likely than not to be added at some point through DLC (except Archelon- they might keep the marine reptiles to ichthyosaurs/plesiosaurs/mosasaurs). Remember the base game of JWE 1 only had 37 species and we made it all the way to 68.
I don't care to see an unfeathered Therizinosaurus, Deinocheirus, or Gigantoraptor. But if the Dominion DLC introduces the ability to add feathers to some species as like a new pattern or a cosmetic gene, then I would like to see all of those species.
Agree 100% regarding the lack of small dinosaurs. I'm hoping and assuming that Dryosaurus will return. It's really the only small ornithopod we have.
Mamenchisaurus is a movie dinosaur and a shoe-in to return. I'm assuming Kentrosaurus and Styracosaurus will return as well. I don't see any reason why they would cut them.
One thing I noticed is that species likes/dislikes are grouped by dinosaur family again (like paleobotony was in JWE 1). So that means, at launch at least, the herbivores are going to be restricted to sauropds, iguanodonts, hadrosaurs, stegosaurs, ceratopsids, ankylosaurs, ornithomimosaurs, and pachycephalosaurs. I don't see them adding a new family before launch.
There are more points towards those animals having little to no feathers than there are to them being fuzzy. Here's a blog post by the reputable palaeonthologist and palaeoartist Mark Witton, going over this topic in depth and discussing animals like therizinosaurus, deinocheirus and even giant ground sloths. http://markwitton-com.blogspot.com/2019/10/megafuzz-under-microscope-how-credible.html
Gigantoraptor isn't mentioned, but it also would likely be mostly featherless. However, it is speculated that it at least kept the long wing feathers, because of the breeding bevhaviour of oviraptorids.
Wow very interesting. I've had that thought before regarding modern elephants and rhinos being hairless. But mammoths were also large and covered in fur. That being said mammoths lived in climates much colder than those present in the Mesozoic.
All of this being said, the Tyrannosaurus is feathered in the beginning sequence of Dominion. So if they're going to be adding a feathered Tyrannosaurus via a Dominion DLC, I'd hope they add the option for other large coelurosaurs like Therizonosaurus to be feathered. I hope they make it like a cosmetic gene or a pattern that could be turned on/off.
True, a feather gene would be neat. And I have a strong theory it will be coming. Not just for the movie accuracy for Dominion's animals, but also because of dimorphodon. In all footage of dimorphodon we've seen so far, she lacks the pyncofibres. Which is a really odd design choice. Either those haven't been added in that early a build, or, well, they're optional.
I hope you're right.
I also hope that they add a feathering option for the all the smaller coelurosaurs. It would be weird to have a feathered Rex, which we know wasn't completely feathered, but a scaly Velociraptor, which we know was feathered. I'm not expecting the dinosaurs to be paleo-accurate, but it would be more immersive to at least have that option, at least for all of the coelurosaurs.
Like give us this, please:

Yep. That'd be nice. You know what else would be neat on the topic of feathers? Tail quills on some of the ornithischians. I know, those have only been found on smaller and/or more basal animals like psittacosaurus and tianyulong, but they're still plausible for larger animals and are pretty cool.
On the subject of tianlong... the games are lacking in the heterodont department, so one of two representantives of those would make great small herbivores.
An unlikely addition, I would say.
Booooo rubbish, come on
This is just my opinion but my prediction on what species are left for the base game to look out for in the coming months but I'm assuming that Canon dinosaurs as well as novel dinosaurs will be included 1st.
