Character Histories/Legends
« on: January 15, 2008, 05:13:00 pm »

After finishing a long and happy run with a Human Axeman adventurer, I decided to check out the Legends and read up on his glorious career. When I read it, I was a little more  than disappointed by the lack of information about the deeds of my hero. While it did list every important character I killed, it only gave their name. Wouldn't it make more sense to at least tell the characters "profession"(Undead Skeletal Spearman, ect.) or type(Giant Cave Spider, etc.). Does this bother anyone besides me?

Anyway just curious what other people thought about the current Legends system and if it would be worth putting on the suggestions board.

I find the legends page to be just about useless after more than a couple of careers, as the number of names starts to reach the point of absurdity, and is near impossible to keep track of who's who.

'xiddemal naggareth jubhubidaar gigglepuff was born in 1051
he lived in tursimal gimmy, the hill of angermarsh
he killed libesh journeymaker of grounding hots in tursimal gimmy, the hill of angermarsh in the year 1073
he was struck down in 1073 by bootilar naggareth the angry helm of super happy tree folk of jumping rocks and slightly overcooked plump helmets and some nice tasting donkey tallow hastruabesh xaaaaaan in tursimal gimmy, the hill of angermarsh.'

I'm sure Toady will update ti at some point. Always remember, this game is still an alpha (even though it feels like a very nice beta).
