It gets a little bit weird hiding in my hut behind a crappy little wooden door each night. Sure during late game I could fight off anything that bothers me, but it's much easier on my weapons and armor if I just wait.
I want ways to properly secure an area. Make a village safe from a wandering wolf pack instead of having all players hide in their homes early game. Special traps could even be a Hunter class exclusive crafting thing and perhaps Blackguards would have more military focused defenses and so on.
