Title: Just a little spice to add.
Post by Creed on 07/29/03 at 22:53:27

I was thinking, maybe the taverns in this game should have like varieties of drinks and food for the players. Like certain drinks that can heal you, aid you, quench your thirst, or even make you drunk just for fun. :) (which we all love so much) Anyways, I thought this would be more interesting then like a 'refresh button'. This would add a little spice in those taverns. And of course, the bartenders have to make some money, so certain drinks cost. And also like a said, certain drinks can aid you and heal you in a way. (for example)

- Water/10 gold (gets rid of your thirst)

- Ale/5 gold (gets rid of your thirst and makes you drunk)

- Dragon's Beer/10gold (gets rid of your thirst, heals 'such & such' amount of points, and gets you drunk if you drink too much)

- Dwarven Ale/20 gold (cleanses your poison, gets rid of your thirst, and gets you drunk)

- Griffin Meet/20 gold (gets rid of your hunger) etc.

Those were just some examples really. Anyways, I personally think this small idea would make the game interesting in a way.

Oh, btw. If you're thinking 'Whats the point when you can pay for a full heal and full mana with only 100 gold?' Well, if a player needs a 'full heal' there would be some 'rest in' or w/e button in the tavern that'll be just like the refresh button, only it doesn't heal you in thirst, or hunger.

I like this idea except it would be kinda annoying if the Heal and Mana button didn't cure thirst and hunger. Perhaps what could make it more interesting would be to have the button message say somthing along the lines of..."You feel refreshed as you sit at a table to relax, and toss the bartender gold for the food and drink."

Hmmm, that sounds good. But I don't know if you mean just one button that refresh's you like now, and the only thing different would be a msg? :-/ If you ask me, the concept would be good for roleplaying and such I guess.. :) But like I said, I really think one of these small things will add great detail to this game. Like when you're playing music, or learning a song, if you get every single small little notes right in a song, it'll sound full and detailed to the listener. So yeah, anyways..

You can't have a poison removing drink that gets you drunk because being drunk is counted as a poison :S

This is actually A nice Idea. Maybe make the foods and drinks that are avalible be inline with the theme for that town.
If it is as simple as setting an item in a clan kitchen I don`t see where this couldn`t be done in a very short time.
Maybe we could come up with items for the pubs that are currently in the game and get staff to add them when we(the players) have gotten all foods and drinks complete

That actually sounds good to me. :) It would be something cool and good for players that are interested to work on. I can see it now! Boars Beer, Windia's Wine, Blackthorn Bacardi, and Creed Colas! :):D Anyways.

Didn't really think about that one, but it was just an 'example'. Maybe the cleansing drink doesn't have to be some sort of an alcohol. But anyways.

Coughwish staff had a say in thisCough!
