Change new hearthling clothes

Post by brohammed »

For new hearthlings, give them only a hide cloak instead of linen pants + shirt + leather cap. Looks more savage and wilderness-y.

Then give linen clothes and the starter hats (and the fox hat) some stats, so they're no longer cosmetic.

they should start naked. i always found it weird that you suddenly appear in the wilderness, ready to survive by yourself....with a fresh pile of new clothes to start the way.

Let us reflect upon the good he was able to do during his short time in the hearthlands.
Let us remind ourselves of his bravery and willingness to fight for the safety of his friends!
Let us hope he can surpass his previous achievements in his future lives.

Fuck no. Fox hats? Having reasons to where them? :(

Do agree with hide cloak, though :)

You want to be 'realistic', spawn with nothing! You gotta make your own clothing, and having a dried hide to make a hide cloak is more advanced than a starting hearthling knows.

I'd prefer unrealistic to naked noobs everywhere. O_o

And linen cloth is even more advanced than dried hide.

Naked newbies isn't a bad idea. Give nudity a slight (ie irrelevant to newbies, don't want to discourage them) debuff like your charisma is reduced by 1/2*((1000-constitution)/10)

Make them start out naked, and implement some kind of boots that can be made out of boughs so 99% of the new players don't die after spawning.

Interesting idea, but I'd be afraid of getting a Thorn in the Foot from all that running. :lol:
