I didn't liked critter faction in DD and I still don't in BD.

If you kill a rat or anything green, every single dumb rat on the planet know it and tries to kill you. Rule apply to cats, dogs, worm-like buggers, ...

Well, that's stupid at best. (telepathic link ?) But that not the real problem.

To kill those low-lifes is far from being mandatory. But the avatar handling being what it is (not the best ever) it's really easy to kill a rat while fighting something else or just by clicking on it while walking (or fleeing some bigger creature)
I did that with the worm-like buggers (while fighting a kind of ancient turtle) and now I just can't walk in the first village of the game because those stupid things are everywhere. (And I can't go back where I first killed one of those.)

Is there a plan or a way to just disable that critters faction table ?
