Its just more immersive, brings you in to the game

What is the looting like in Far Cry 3?

I don't know if he means the animation or not but it gives us an animation of the character patting the body searching for valuables.

If he means the entire system he means we only get specific items and don't get to pick what we get.

Hold X > Get random crap which soul purpose is to sell and maybe some ammo

Although if OP is talking about the animation, I wouldn't mind something like with smithing where you can see your character in the background checking the body.

No, I'm good with how it is.

I like being able to choose what i want off a corpse, but animation of patting the corpse down to search for valuables is cool, it gets tedious after a while though. Once you've done an animation a few times it starts to get to just feeling like you are wasting time.

I hate watching animations that take away my control. That sounds terrible.
Why would I want that?

Animation maybe but as much loot as there is in Skyrim i think this would get old quick.

If you talkin about only bein able to loot certain things and not bein able to pick then.....HELL NO.
