Proposed Item: Gallows and Graves

Post by Deflare »

My fellow players and I have been kicking around a few ideas for items in H&H, and we recently came upon a fun one--the ability to create gallows, in which one can hang bodies as a warning to others; it'd be especially nice if the bodies could have messages left on them saying why the person was killed. The gallows wouldn't necessarily have to kill people; we just liked the idea of leaving the bodies of criminals dangling outside our docks to ward off raiders.

On that note, other things to do with dead bodies could be interesting--graves, mausoleums, and so on. They would essentially be containers for human bodies (and any burial goods one may want to add); they may provide interesting combinations with ancestor worship, so that leaving grave goods for one's ancestor would help gain Numen.

I agree with this. It'd have to be possible to rob graves of course though.

Except there's no one in this game would ever consider burying a corpse with valuable... They'd loot it a long time ago before they bury such a thing.

Is there a way to destroy skeletons? They just remain persistent so technically you could smash the skeletons to bits or something.

To destroy skeletons, you currently have to lift them, walk into shallow water, then log out.

Anyway, I support this idea.

I don't get why the community is so into worshiping the dead... Or something in that perspective.

Sure there are. Show some respect for the dead! :evil:

Also, I think you underestimate the amount of expendable resources you get as you keep playing the game. I throw away things daily that I would have killed to have a month ago. "One man's trash is another man's treasure." etc, etc...
