Appearance Based on Beliefs

[Jackard]

Someone suggested an old idea of mine in our village chat and didnt make a thread for it, so thought I'd do it for them:

It would be interesting if appearance was automatically decided by your Beliefs, with the hairstyle based on Barbarism/Civilization slider. For those unfamiliar with previous worlds, these hairs already exist ingame, so it shouldn't take much effort to add this.

Barbarism -5 to -3

Neutral -2 to 2

Civilization 3 to 5


(Nature/Industry would control facial hair. A full beard for Nature and a groomed moustache for Industry.)

Sound like a great idea to me:)
would be great if your appearance reflects your personality.
Let's say that someone steals/kills/attacks another player, wouldn't it be great if he/she grew darker or got a creapy aura?^^
That would also make it easier to know when to run:P

Yes, if only for more character diversity.

No.

This was also suggested before and was deemed inappropriate since the black arts are amoral.

You understand killing is not an inherently evil act, yes?

That aura idea is absolutely terrible,

+1 to OP

Just thought it would be nice with some kind of system to help you know who to trust less or more.

But the idea of people changing appearance depending on their beliefs is great, it's would be nice to see a village with diffrent looking people.

Then make people with full night belief have a lighter skin colour and the people with full day belief be more suntanned.

THen make people with full night belief have a lighter skin colour and the people with full day belief be more suntanned.

Might make that damn slider actually useful haha.
