Seem as if when I’m looking around to make sure I’m safe, I get animals popping in where they previously where not

Are you sure they are spawning? I ask because this I made a house on a rock in the middle of a lake and a number of times I watched wolfs and bears run at full speed from far away down a cliff face and into the water and swim the lake right for me at the house as if it was random encounter meant to be targeted towards the player (solo player)

I have a stone house about 500 metres into the arctic and it is a perilous place. I routinely kill 6-8 wolves there, and haven't yet ventured any further into the arctic... At least it levelled me to 20 fast so I now have fur armour...

Ok, these spawns are insane in the arctic. I killed the 8 wolves in sight from my house, then to the ridge 100m away, pull 4 more, kill them, finally reach the top of the ridge, see 6 more wolves, pull back, see 2x more wolves have spawned next to my house, kill them, then get murdered by the 2x more that respawned in the meanwhile.

Respawn in my hut, 20m from my corpse (which I can't find in the snow storm that rolled in while I was waiting for respawn timer (why is that a think solo, noone is coming to save me), and snipe 4 more wolves from my hut with my backup bow...

Oh, and then 3x more spawn immediately. Plus the other 2x on the hill. At least I can head shot them through my door because clipping. Insanity!

It does become a little silly. I had 7 wolves spawn one after the other within seconds of the previous wolves death, inside my house... I eventually died to my wounds and the wolf is now sitting next to my bed ... Fun times.

In BW6 in the bio-sample mission, had a polar bear spawn right behind me. I know it was a spawn, because I was in the middle of a snow field, nothing around, then combat music triggered and a hit followed immediately after from behind. No polar bear, then one right on top of me.

With this state, the game doesn't reward being cautious and clearing an area if a threat can spawn on top of you. Only death to occur in the whole run.
