[Bug] Boogeymen and marketplaces
« on: February 19, 2012, 11:30:07 am »

... the endless stalls with barrels full of cheese, vegetables, diamonds, leather socks... it all tired him immensely. The sun was already touching the western horizon, so he just laid among the stalls, expecting someone to come over to haggle over the night stay. Surprisingly, nobody came, but all-too-familiar cackling has woken him in the middle of the night. The boogeymen have attacked the sleeping merchants, tearing a few apart and beating the others to death - the rest slept on without stirring. Annoyed, our hero knocked on the door of a nearby house and spent the rest of the night there. One mystery remained unexplained, though - how did the merchants survived all the previous nights?

The entire content consists of senseless murder, a pile of faceless naked women and zero regard for human life in general, all in the service of the protagonist's base impulses. It is clearly a cry for help from a neglected, self absorbed and disempowered juvenile badly in need of affectionate guidance. What a sad, sad display.

Bogeymen are out there exclusively and only for you. They never appear something else, their only purpose is to kill you when you're alone outside.

"Engraved on the wall is a masterful depiction of a human by Logrin.  The artwork relates to Xotano Beastblood The Everseeing Dwelling of Clouds the human vampire recruiting some new human shields companions after his encounter with Ral Firewealthy the Warm Flicker the dragon, during which his face was melted off."

Uhh bogies don't ambush if you have companions, merchants all companion to each other, that doesn't stop some loner sleeping in the open part of town and bringing them back over to them. It's not a bug more so a technicality of a loop hole that allows bogey to have some FUN.

Exactly. The way it is now is not consistent. Either they are players personal nightmares that haunt him only when he is alone - and then they should not attack you when sleeping among others. And if they do, why don't they attack the merchants even when you are not there? And if they are your PERSONAL nightmare, why do they kill others?

BTW it is also a bit silly that gems are sold in barrels like fish or vegetables.

one who said bogeymen are personal nightmares of the player? how does personal nightmare lead to getting stabbed, let alone every one talking about it and warning you about it also.
Their a supernatural force that work under strict supernatural rules lay downed by the Toad god. the only way the personal nightmare reason would work is if someone beg the Toad god to take physical beings that raid the land at night on lonely adventurers to personally just mind screw with lonely adventurers.

hell with slight modding and research bogeymen are nothing more than random genned sentient(they can talk and willingly join you on adventurers) mini creatures that spawn when an adventurer is alone(or feels alone) pretty much every time an adventure survives a night he murders over 100 living beings.
