Gangs of Feyguard stealing bonemeal potions

[Growler]

How about some option..if can't fight them, maybe bribe them?
Or, if they're Really that stupid, maybe some minor chance of fleeing (after yelling, "Hey, look over There!")

If the bribe (or fleeing attempt) isn't successful, they take some portion of your gold along with all yer bonemeal.

But then how about some Priest-related/granted quest (yielding a spell or cloak-bag) that would effectively hide your bonemeal from them?

You break the law you pay the price. Always. Glory be to Feygard.

Bribing them has already been thought of, but I won't say any more than that about it.

The other suggestions are interesting but we can't implement them with the current game engine. Unfortunately, this affects many ideas. We have to try to morph things into ideas that can be implemented.

The player can be made to pay more price to preserve those bonemeal potions from being confiscated. A potion maker can charge 120G to make a 50G BP look and smell like a 280G worth major health potion. For the user the net cost per BP would increase to 170G, but at least these obfuscated items would no longer be eligible for confiscation. The potion maker can also increase the cost to say 200G by saying I'm gonna add an actual Regular potion of health in this so as to give it the right color and so on. This could be tweaked of course.

The user would now have a choice. Not a binary choice as in carrying or not carrying BP, but more like if BP is important to me than I better obfuscate it. To give a hint about obfuscation to new or unsuspecting players who get annoyed the very first time Feygard soldiers confiscate their BP stash, that church guy in Fallhaven who sells BP could hint the player to go to a potion maker to get these BPs obfuscated. So a player would always know of the choices they have to make. No implied consequences would exist as a result.

There is another thing . The consequence of carrying BP is limited to Dulerian Road only. There is a gang of Feygard soliders placed outside of Flagstone prison, but that gang never stops the player for a search and seizure. Similarly, Loneford is brimming with Feygard soliders. None of them suspects the player that they could be carrying BP. So that's a bummer.

I think this search and seizure could be expanded for the consequences to be real for all over the Dhayavar, and not just be isolated to Dulerian road.

It's not just isolated to the Duleian road

[charnameLol]

I see. I've been all over Dhayavar many a times but I never encountered these Feygard gangs confiscating BP elsewhere except on the Duleian road. Where else do they do search and seizure?

Brimhaven and Remgard

I like your idea to make tweaked BMP available. We still have to think it through of course

Brimhaven and Remgard

That is most intriguing. May be I'll peek into the source code sometime later to see how often they do this search and seizure in the two places you mentioned, because I've been to

Brimhaven

a couple many a times and never encountered this gang.

Remgard

I've visited only for the quests so it is easy to miss this there I guess.

Glad you like it.
