Title: Idea to system
Post by: Afareg on April 08, 2004, 12:07:39 am

ok. Since there is a skill that relates to knowing plants and such, here is an idea:


People could have an menue with skills (Hide, forage, build...)

So when they pressed forage (finding plants and such) a dice would be thrown (in the programs mind)
Using the classical Dice, but with 20 sides. Then (according to ones skill) one could find certain plants. But one had to move atleast a few meters before one could do it agian. Also diffrent plants could grow at diffrent places.

What cha think?

Hmm... The idea is not agreeable with me. All we\'re doing is basing our locating on complete chance and rolling dice. And walking around. Too much like RS. Click, click, click. No skill, just mindless wandering and clicking. Something that actually has the player behind the character use their mind/skills instead of mindless clicking.

true.

But it would be a start of some form.... I really think that the game is great. It\'s just that its get a bit anyoing, that after 1/2 hour deciding the skills and job of ones charater, one findsout that it does not matter because the game is not at that stage yet.

I know how hard it can be to program. I\'m currently working my way thgrough C++ (at a Slooooooow crawl) but it\'s just something missing, when an artist can create and an ranger cant track animals....

Why start with a bad system when you could start with a good one? Wait till CB...

right. just an idea.

Say, how wide spread will the skills be?

Makin fires, building traps/camps?

I know that there is no chance of this in the next version, but later mabey?

anyway. Keep up hte good work. THe game is good (to bad my connection is a bit laggy)

I think we will be surprised with CB. I\'m guessing that alot of skills will be implememned by that time, and this game will have alot of skills...

...and your lag shouldn\'t be a problem with CB (hopefully)

Afareg i will believe that skills like that will come but not for a long time and since PS is improving all the time then i would believe that there would be alot of advance stuff to put in.
