I find this fascinating. And for the short time I'm on today, I'll make a list of the things I myself have considered trying to do, but naturally, can't do for the lack of a button.

First of all - Panting.

It might sound ridiculous, haha, but in my mind, if my character is weary from a fight, a run, whatever, they're out of breath. I often use the Listen+Listen technique to either signify a typical shaking a fly away, or pant.
It'd be cool to see if that ever got implemented. Though I doubt it will, as I am well aware it's hardly an action, haha~

Also, sleeping in different positions.
Say, if one's character is worn out and falls asleep, it'll be different than if they are relaxed and lay in a different position... Haha.
Just another thing I'd often thought about when seeing all the deer in the forest sleeping the same way.

Grooming.

We all make use of the nod+shake head and have made it quite believable when we groom one another. I'm actually proud of those who first figured it out (:
But it would certainly be wicked if there was a button that allowed you to groom.


Even more fighting buttons, though that may be pushing it. I love fights, I love watching them, participating. It's the type of gamer I am. Having more techniques for the buttonmashing would certainly be entertaining, and with more buttons to choose from, there'd be more to improvise with as well. (Consider the Bow+Rear. For Pandora it's moreorless a temper tantrum, stomping the ground. Yet when she succumbs to Jealousy, it's a vicious weight-laden attack.)

Different buttons mean more options.

But those are my general ideas.

They all fail, haha~ Let's see what others come up with 8D

tracking ♥

Track here for me too ^^
I would love to see different lying down/sleeping positions as suggested...will try to think of some to contribute.

/was one of or if not the first, as far as I know, who started using nod/shake as a way of grooming.

I actually dreamt of different sleeping/sitting positions in tef, it's definitely something I'd want to see in game. It seems fairly fitting anyway.
Tiredness is aslo something I have trouble portraying, so a stretch or perhaps a yawn action would make a good addition. I tend to use sad and then the listen-listen for that, but it can easily be misinterpreted. Hnn, most of all I would just like a proper grazing emote. Has anyone ever heard M and A's opinions on that?

As for more interesting emote combos, I'll need to think of some..

I think a controllable stretch emote would be fantastic. Seeing as the movement is already programmed into the game, it couldn't be too hard to give us control over it, right? But no, I haven't found a substitution for this D:

And grooming would be so nice. I'd especially love an option to groom while sitting... or do anything while sitting, for that matter.

When I use Listen + Listen to shake, I realised if you do Listen + Dance + Dance instead, your deers feet also shuffle around as if to make yourself comfortable, or maybe to show you're cold. Also when people groom others with Nod + Shake emotions, it can easily be used to eat leaves from the trees within the Birch, etc, ...

I would like to see different moods for when being idle/moving. I dislike how when the deer walks, they hold their necks high. It would be cool to see a tired/upset walk, so that the deer hangs their head low, and maybe drag their feet around.

I agree with Starling, I would love a walk with their head lowered.
I would also like another position to sit down in, where they lay the head down without being asleep. ^^

I once discovered a way to graze but it totally sucks. Anyway:

1) Go rub against a tree in the forest, so that a pinecone will fall to the ground. Do not eat it!
2) Press escape and go to the Details menu, then turn Nature Detail all the way down.
3) Get up, the pinecone will be invisible due to Nature Detail being so low. However you will still see the action to eat it.
4) Now, you can pretend to graze anywhere; Example, go to The Birch and go rub against a tree (which will be invisible because of Nature Detail being low) but you must then quickly press the button to pick up the pinecone: Rub against tree + eat pinecone. And then then your deer should graze for a few seconds!

Note: When your deer "eats the pinecone" to graze, it will face the direction of where the pinecone was when it came out of tree earlier. To stop this, you should pick up a spell (any spell) BEFORE doing this technique. That way, when you go to graze, wherever you are in the forest, HOVER your mouse over the yellow spell casting button, but don;t click it, and your deer will face towards the tree/deer your eating from when you do the technique...

Pfft I hope this is clear enough. I suck at explaining XD

• lower antlers+head tilt: polite invite to spar, usually after a greeting
• Paw at the ground+ head tilt: want to sit here with me?
• surprised emote in front of blueberries (blue flowers) or tall grass or Poppy flowers: eating them
• Laughing emote in water: Taking a bath
• Shaking head emote when someone moos at you: Be quiet, no more mooing, please.
• Sad emote then bow: Sorry, I have to leave

Ones I use daily

I'll be tracking this, since I'm too bland to have come up with anything like these combinations that others have put. :c

Hmmm a stretch.. I don't think I've found anything better than the action that automatically plays when you stand up after sleeping. I wish we could have that as it's own 'buttoned' action.

When playing Queze he uses a brief sad + no head shake to be a sort of sigh, usually if he sees someone doing something foolish lol.

<sub>I like these suggestions 8D
I saw this from another deer, I'm not sure if I've been using it right though. But this is what I use it for.

If your deer is intimidated by another, or by an opponent, I use the listen emote very quickly. I see it as showing off your antlers and waving them around to warn them off. Also if you listen quickly then run, your deer should still be shaking it's head; I view this as a charge. I tend to use this in fights quite alot c:</sub>

grazing + different laying positions are two things that'd be nice to have.

~it's fun mixing emotes to try to make your own. :3

I can't recall anything in particular at the moment, but I want to respond later. so...

bump! look at this great blog!!

made this a while ago

I am all for a flop button!!

I quickly looked through some of the actions, and I figured I'd add my awkward..uh.. I don't know what to call it..

Rear + Sad or Lower Antlers = headbanging Crushing?
