How important is hunting and crafting?

    In RPGs, I usually avoid hunting, alchemy, or crafting. It's a tedious thing for me to do in a video game, so I leave it alone.

    RPGs don't necessarily require those skills too much so I am always fine. However, from the online videos that I have watched, it seems they are pretty important in FC3. But are they? Can anyone give me an insight into how important it is, and will I HAVE to do them in order to get better upgrades/skills?

    Thanks!

    They're pretty important. You don't have an unlimited storage capacity in this game, nor are you able to carry items in stacks let alone more than 1 gun at a time until you begin crafting appropriate gear. Things like wallets, rucksacks, holsters, quivers e.t.c will need to be crafted and to do that you're gonna have to hunt many of the wildlife that's out there on the island. The saving grace is items crafted are instant and once crafted you don't have to equip or anything of the sort. I thought it was bothersome at first, especially with cash and with my inventory constantly being full from plants, animal hides and misc. items from dead pirates but once you get into the crafting it got better. Now I can hold $10,000 in my wallet, highest I've gotten to was $2,000 before I was buying ammo or getting gun upgrades, and my inventory can hold up to 68 items.

    Hey thanks for the reply. That's exactly what I don't like in video games. It's so tedious with all this realism. But i will give it a shot. Might rent it first.

    Thanks!

    Eh crafting in this game is really not in depth. See a green icon on the map? Grab that plant and with 1 click you turn in into medicine. Storage upgrades cost 2 hides, so just look on your map, go kill said animal twice and 1 click grants you a new backback. It's really not a struggle in this game.

    Thanks for the replies, guys!

    I got the game from a friend to try for a day or two. I am going to buy it.

    My main fear was a complicated crafting system - but it is not so, which is awesome. It's basically a get-this-to-make-this kind of thing, where if you need more holster slots, you just don't buying them, you make them by killing animals. Finding animals, or plants for medicine, might prove to be difficult and result in a lot of searching around the map, but that's what makes Far Cry 3 the game it is. I have not felt so deeply connected to a game before.

    What a game, and I have no worries over the crafting system!

    I found a rugged wallet on a dead body... so not everything needs crafting.
