Make finding local leaders easier
« on: November 29, 2008, 07:25:55 am »

Trying to find the local elf or dwarf leader is rather fustrating at the moment.

Maybe add more to the dialogue when speaking to locals: when asking for service, and the local tells you to seek the local leader, the local also says something like "I believe [name] is over there, to the [direction]," or "[He/she] might be over there, in the [building/room]."

Yeah, I've gotten a quest from a dwarf leader.

They both do, if you can find them. I've even found two druids at one forest retreat, both with separate quests.

This would definitely be a huge improvement.

Also, it would be nice if they didn't run away from you when you're trying to talk to them.

Goodness SOME method of speaking to people better would be vastly appreciated.

Especially if Toady ever plans on expanding speaking to civilians. I mean, what would I do if my character got married!?!

Just some sort of impromptu office of some kind for them to hang out in would be great. That way you'd always know where to find them. Have something like a statue or something set up somewhere in the mountain halls/forest retreat that they'll always stand next to. Just some way to keep them from wandering off.

Chain them all up to the statue in the bar.
