Can you use your eagle like a drone? That would be cool. I remember a similar mechanic in Far Cry Primal where you can survey an outpost and tag enemies using your pet eagle. Not sure how it works in this one but the graphics sure looks stunning. I am a bit jealous of your PC xD
I could do it in Odyssey and Valhalla, exactly as Far Cry Primal that you mentioned but I'm yet to find such things in this one. I guess there'll be that option as they made it possible for the last installments.
