Since I first played Honest hearts I have made about 6-8 trips back over about 100 hours of game time to gather plant life as well as green gecko hides. I have noticed a steady decline in the wildlife on each return visit. On this last visit, after circling the entire map twice, the only wildlife I encountered was one green gecko, two ants and two mantises.
I’m curious if anyone else has encountered this and if it’s a bug or by design? When I played the quest River Monsters, I choose to destroy the Yao Guai cave, so that might explain why there is none of them, but I cant think of any explanation for the other creatures.
