Death and Fame

Hi, i think about a death and fame system.

Why the Death and the Fame can deliver options ?

The system of death was cool in UO. But maybe extend it a bit can be cool.

If you die, in the fantom world, would be cool to be able to do some quests, with fantoms. Some fantom girls crying aside a tree. Maybe some magic from the Healer to be able to live in the fantom world for a minute to be able to complete quests or hide. Some Shaman can live anytime in the fantom world and the real world. Some boss is protected with Fantom devices. Some potions can be used to travel in the fantom world for 30 sec. Some Medium quests. When someone leave a house for a couple of month, fantoms can start to haunt the house. Some ritual are needed to take them house, unless your can loose items or unable to open chest.

The fame system is something really cool in UO, you can extend it tooo!

If you do good things only, the fame keep growing, so depending on the level of the fame, some fame quest can be unlock from NPC. Some titles can be given from the king or some allegency can be choosen with the fame. You can have a high fame for the kingdom of Azura (Good).

You can have a drop frame and unlock some bad quest from npc. Alot of item can be accessible after doing bad stuff for a while. Become a assasin after killer some good caracter or good creatures. Some "will" check can be done to caracter depending on the fame, they can get controled by a bad boss or get buff by a good knigt. fame can add bonus to a "Palor" Armor or enable to use some holy item, or bad item. depending on the fame, house can be decorate with good or bad stuff. Cloth can be unlock depending the fame. With an extended Fantom system, the bad fame can let you see things noone see in the fantom world, maybe player can take control of another player by passing through the fantom world if the fame is bad. Bad fame let you enter houses without aura protection and you are able to haunt it and do stuff in other players houses. Doing runes on the houses so they can't fully recover when house owner sleep to recover.

Alot of things can be done and would be cool.

Ah! Something else.... people remember Soul Blazer ? It would be cool if a fantom world exist, people are able to recover a city from the fantom world by doing a dungeon, and bad fame players can get a city dropped in the fantom world by killing everyone in a city.

 

else.... ahah a sword with a spectral aspect can you use the item in the fantom world, at the same time, the item is living in the real world cursed.

Even if its full loot, if you buy a spectral bag, items you carry can be teleported to the fantom world for once or two time so your items cant be loot in the real world, or curse them when you die for 1 or 2 times.

 

What you describes reminds me of The Secret World where dying allows you to view behind the veil of normal and into the paranormal. Hmmm, perhaps the story of the game will feature something like that -meaning a spectral plane. I don't see why not. Good thinking !

 

Big topic, lots of ideas.
