Possible ballance for questing

Post by Field »

Instead of scaling quest rewards from charisma (which can be grinded high with botting) make it scale from lore?
It has nice tree image on it, suggest that you're more well-versed with talking to trees.
My argument being that LP is harder to bot than charisma.

Hey that's a p good idea. Tbh charisma doesn't even make sense, like are you schmoozing a tree? Sweet talking a rock?

Would be cool to make a no curio/quest only character and see how far you can get.

Why not both? Also,LP is easier to farm than charisma. It doesn't evolve eating and buying a lot of food to rise it up. Just basically some EXP, a lil'bit of INT food and basically it's refill until death.

I have a pet rock, his name is bob. I can confirm that charisma does not matter, since i don't have any, yet my pet rock has never run away.
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

It also comes at expense of other skills though, the more you want to be rewarded from quests the more you have to spend on lore. If there'd be softcap from both stats it could also work, I was thinking of that solution too.

Probably does make sense to ground some of questing's gains behind LP skills. Though completely removing the charisma interaction would make the stat useless again.

Wouldn't mind factoring in lore, at least. I think the biggest problem is general stat inflation.
