Number two in particular though is what I figured would be in the way from a technical standpoint.
Interesting to hear! Admitiedly, I thought number 1 would have meant that such an addition would have that feature placed into its own separate, downloadable addon so that people had no chance of stumbling upon npc predators of any kind if they don’t like that kind of thing – alternatively, you’d get some kind of npc vore tool alongside the player one that you could give to npcs through some manner (i.e: a npc or crew customizer/creator mod) meaning that the player would have full say on who or what gets to be an npc predator.
