But cats have night vision due to an extra reflective membrane in their eyes that allows the light to pass through the retna essentially twice. IRL cats use this and their ability to have monster-pupils (like Keepers) to see in the dark. To me, it would not make much sense that a diurnal race would have the evolutionary trait that nocturnals have. I assume that Seeker pupils don't dialate much, limiting their night vision, Â whereas Keepers, who's eyes are always dialated see very well if not better in the dark than in the light. Just my opinion though!(01-11-2014, 05:00 AM)Tlamila Wrote: I don't see why they should have a better smell then humans though, since the nose/face conformation is exactly the same. I guess Seekers also have nightvision like cats, seen how their eyes are?
Probably due to how cats have much more powerful noses than humans - not nearly as powerful as dogs though. It was stated a few times in 1.0 and again in ARR, though I neglected to take screenshots.
I'm not sure about night-vision for Seekers, maybe better than humans but not as good as Keepers. It's possible that Seekers have more acute vision as long as there's adequate light due to the vertical slit pupil shape that they share with real life cats, a trait that Keepers don't share. Keeper eyes are just super wide all the time.
