I see the boars from a distance, too distracted butting heads with one another to immediately notice me. Using fog rolling in from the sea for cover, and crouching down in long grass rustling in the wind, I approach, crouched. A step at a time. Easy, easy. And there. Close enough. Not to kill, of course not. Assassin's Creed Shadows is more interested in the sketchbook than Assassin's Creed 3-style hunting and skinning.
These sketches are just one of many collectibles that can be placed at The Hideout, a home away from home that's more customizable than any in the series to date. And, importantly, nabbing an animal drawing in the wild also means you can place them in your base, and in many cases, also pet them. Likewise, bits of armor can be displayed, the series' history of intense collectible gathering all coming together in one space.
