Would this be feasible?  I mean, humans and dwarves can probably tear meat with their teeth.  Maybe they wouldn't be able to surgically remove organs, skin and such, but what about a simpler version of butchering?  If you don't have any tools, you have to manually remove a single piece of meat every time you use the butchering menu. 

This would help if one made a "wildman" adventurer, one who does not use any tools or weapons.

I think it is reasonable that civilized species use tools. Hell, even some monkeys use tools to breaking nuts and fruits. In addition, human teeth and nails are not really designed for cutting meat into pieces in similar way that lions', for example, are.

[NRDL]

Yeah, but if you're say, completely unarmed, and needed to butcher food, wouldn't it be neat to do this?  I'm saying that you can't completely strip a corpse the way you can do with sharp objects, but biting off meat with your mouth, or tearing it with your claws, one piece at a time, isn't all that farfetched. 

[dwarfhoplite]

I wouldn't mind if that was possible but it seems like quite trivial low priority feature.

If one has stomach to butcher animal by using teeth, why not just eat corpses just like that?

[NRDL]

Yeah, but doing that would be difficult, because the game treats bodies as one thing, right?  If this were to be placed, an entire body could be swallowed whole.

That actually sounds pretty cool.  Perhaps very large monsters could do that?

I like this feature, this would allow for more proper animal adventurers.

I'd like to see the ability to use body parts to substitute for tools in general. Like, a mole's claws could be used to dig, a beaver's teeth could cut down trees, carnivores' teeth could butcher, etc.
I also think a crude butchery would be neat.


About "wildman" adventurers, wouldn't it make sense to grab a blade anyways?

[NRDL]

No.  No it would not. 

I mean, that's the whole point of being a wildman.  Forsaking the ways of civilisation. 

[GreatWyrmGold]

How about a sharp rock?

[NRDL]

That would make more sense.  But I was thinking, the really feral type of person, one who both won't and can't use tools. 

I suppose if you wanna be Tarzan that would be excellent.
