So far I'm loving this game on the PC, I'm running everything on max and it's awesome!
Though one tiny detail that would lend so much to immersion is .. having footprints!

I'd love some footprints or a similar sign that your character is actually 'there', you know?
I'm not expecting Uncharted levels of detail with snow billowing around your ankles, but just some kind of sign that you walked here, and you stood there, would be so nice.

Yay!

Minor things like that can be easily acquired through mods, I'm sure you'll find some mods for that soon.

Yes, but in terms of the game, if there's just a light dusting of snow everywhere, OK sure, I hear you

But imagine six inches or a foot of snow. Unless the footsteps were 3D, then it would look as if everyone walked on top of the snow instead of sinking down into it, which would be a horrible immersion-breaker

No you won't.

Yes this is a disappointment, a minor one though of course. A disappointment nontheless still. It would be nice to have footprints indeed. Very useful for hunting and tracking.
