Injury related discussion (Adventure mode)
« on: July 18, 2010, 05:09:36 pm »

How about having some additional things the people you meet would tell you if they have sustained injuries.

Like for example:

Player McAwesome: Tell me about yourself
Cog McUnlucky shows you his left arm, bearing a jagged scar.
Cog McUnlucky: I got this in The Plains of Savagery in 520 in a fight with a Grizzly Bear.

And

Player McAwesome: You look like a mighty warrior indeed.
Urist CutoffEars: What?
Player McAwesome: Tell me about yourself.
Urist CutoffEars: What?
Player McAwesome: Tell me about the surroundings.
Urist CutoffEars: I can't hear you (Or in <location> in <year>, my <If other ear was cut off earlier: last functioning ear was, otherwise ears were> cut off by <monster>
eq. In Plains Of Laughter in 107, my last functioning ear was cut off by Cog McDecapitator the Goblin.)

I like the sound of this.  Will make recruiting people more interesting, too!

This sounds great.It could cause some fun when you recruit a recruit whos leg has been cut off by your former adventurer.
I have an idea relating to this,lets say if Urist mcpoorbastard had his leg ripped off by a grizly bear they may tell you more about it,you know when it was killed,what towns it raided etc.

I'd worry about it going on and on when talking to warriors who are scarred all over, but talking about scarring is a nice idea.

I was thinking it would only occur when you ask him/her to tell about himself/herself.
And he'd only show one wound / scar at a time.
Possibly more if he attained more than one during a single battle, he'd go like.
"McWarlord shows you his left arm, bearing a large scar, and he proceeds to show you his left leg, bearing a small scar."
