Andor's Trail

IMO, building a house would be deviating from the main story line. Why would you stop and build a house when searching for your brother.

I can imagine lots of side quests along the way, (like we are currently doing), and obtaining a barn or house from helping out some rich merchant or royalty find a kidnapped family member or something.

Or when we have travelled a great distance from home, have the opportunity to purchase a pre built house/property.

I have some other ideas that we could spend our money on. To get extra/bonus quests, or even to find out certain information regarding Andor, we could bribe a secret guild or noble for key information. Or pay a huge ransome payment, like the above.

and how about spending some money, items, etc to rebuild Prim or support some other groups in the game ? maby as a part of storyline or just becauce you can ?

A quest to re-open the mine maybe?

Yes.
IMO it will be nice if you can support Prim to hire some workers and after a whike you get promoted of honoured citicen of Prim or be able buy some better items in Prim or ..

And i like to see some other possibilities to invest BIG like 100k, 1000k and 10000k to something

The main hall is one of the only places in Primary I didn't hear complaints about money/supplies if I recall right (and I sided with Prim originally) and the mine was closed on order of none other than Guthbered. Maybe that means the mine has a gold mine to invest in?

I like the idea of a dwelling of my own, maybe collect trophies for finished quests that I can display and show them to Andor (if and when) I find him. Just my way of showing him how much I care and the perils I willingly endured to ensure his save return.

When i started this thread,
I was talking about using the existing game elements.

Use the empty cabins, baskets and beds, all over the map...
Not wasting time building anything... getting distracted [+1 bornain]

Because Andor was onto something!

And he was moving quickly...

I know he was stronger and more learned,
That's why i fight so hard - to keep up with him.

I agree about using the empty cabins etc. It feels like a waste finding a cabin, exploring it, then finding out it was totally useless. It would be good to be able to rent or buy it so you can have a bed and somewhere to stash stuff.

I agree, it could be nice, but why build it? Which makes me wonder - why not let villagers steal? Thieves are all over, yet they never bother me (even before I helped their guild).

Except for the sign in Fallhaven, and the highwayman, outside of the jail and guild I don't recall hearing about thievery, getting quests about it, or having anyone steal from me. Who do these thieves steal from?

I mentioned in another new thread about the desire/need for "super" or "concentrated" Bonemeal potions. Maybe that's something that could cost a lot of money to get started? How about couriers? You could pay them to go get stuff for you and it could take X rounds depending on how much you paid them? I guess that may ruin some quests though

I see many thoughts on ideas for houses and storage. Andor, is our brother, other than that, I will refer to him as as "you". You most likely wouldn't stop to build a house or even a shack. You are a kid. You might stop to help someone build of they promised to help you in return. Info, a place to rest, etc. you'd gain a room that way. You could gain everything that way.

Another possibility, would depend on where the realm goes. If guilds happen, I'd suggest storage and a room there. Have your guild hall in different towns, but not all guilds in all towns.

We have no idea how big AT will be once it is complete, we can only hope it's huge.

Back to the issue. Though it would make life easy, access to all items at all times, it would take away from the game. The game is anything, but easy. It isn't hard, but why change tje way it flows?

i think i have an idea that would be a happy medium; as it has been stated, you're on a mission, and not dawdling around, building houses or looking up real estate agents. you're out in the wilderness, most of the time.
now, most people trekking around in the wilderness for any amount of time are bound to carry a tent, or at the very least, some sort of bedroll.
so, i propose a difficult quest, given by that mountaineer guy in prim, that ends with you being able to buy (seriously expensive) camping gear.(besides a tent, some sort of torch for darkened mines, illuminating a few squares around you, would be nice).
you could pitch the tent on any open space, and regain all your health, but with one caveat; if a monster spawns and attacks you in your sleep, you automatically die.
i suppose you could save your game, just before pitching the tent, but i'm sure somebody smarter than i can figure out a way to close that loophole.
