1: Lockon, give us a lockon toggle for fights and while active not allow the shark to enter knifing mode. Hit lockon button to target, hit again to switch targets, hold for a second to disengage. (Target focus is REALLY annoying when it keeps targeting lv1 muskies when I'm trying to fight a lv 15 gator. Or targeting hostiles behind sewer gates instead of the thing biting my face off.)
2: Allow knifing mode to be entered/broken by pointing the camera upwards/downwards. More intuitive, removes the need for a submerge button. (Goes along with combat being frustrating, getting locked into knifing mode in the middle of a fight and having to force a submerge repeatedly is pretty annoying. Especially if you happen to get into a fight in the shallows or you're fighting hunters on boats above and hunters below water at the same time.)
3: Let us have button config for controllers instead of presets.
4: Let us re-bind menu shortcuts. Really I don't know why those are locked in place to begin with.
5: Mini Map!
Really the first two are the things I would want the most as they are by far the most frustrating things I've found about the game. Overall really enjoying it!
