Group Information of Individuals
« on: July 12, 2014, 10:37:41 am »

I can for see this becoming an issue, so let's nip it in the bud: The player needs a way to ascertain the faction of NPCs. Either asking them or by visually seeing markings on their clothes or something. Imagine coming across a big battle between two factions that are not hostile to you, but one of the factions fighting is an ally to you; you have no way of knowing who is who or why they are fighting. You can't even ask them.

I think they actually have the symbol of their group on their breastplate.

FWIW, there's similar discussion with more ideas so far in this thread: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=140445.0 (both pretty new, just figured I'd point it out since there are already ideas thrown out there that would apply to here).

I have an idea. Let's play a game where you win by being as quiet as possible.
I get it, it's one of those games where losing is fun!
