New settlement mechanics

Hello everyone

I been thinking about this idea since my last gameplay and my experience in every settlement

What if we add reputation mechanics in every settlements? The mechanics works to increasing selling price in trading with npc.Not just increasing it,the more reputation you have will unlock more item that npc sale,either its armors,weapons,or foods.To increase reputation,player will have to complete quest from people around the settlement.Also make selling price in every settlements different from the others so player will have to think twice before selling item or they can sell it right away if they want to. :roll:

This will go either bad or good because collecting money will be much harder and making the game a little harder.But it will give the player more challenges in playing the game.Also it will help early game player in level up and getting gold because more quest will appear in every settlements and giving them rewards from doing it. :D

Well that's all i have in my mind,i didn't think much more sooo.... What you guys think about this idea :|

This is a pretty fun idea, but this would be a lot of work. Both to modify every town's merchant's lists and to build it up in the future towns.

"the more reputation you have will unlock more item that npc sale"
This is not easy to do as the game engine doesn't support dynamic items and item inventories. So we would have to not only modify the engine, but decide and add these dynamic items everywhere

There is a shadow level measurement hidden somewhere in the game's code, right? Could that affect the player's reputation in Nor City if it is ever released?

Couldn't this reputation mechanism be implemented for more things than just the shadow in Nor City? Like theoretically for each town. And if this will have an effect in Nor City, it can have one anywhere else too, right? This would make the game feel a lot more dynamic imo, but I also know that this is a lot of work.

Raphi,

Who said that it isn't already implemented?
In fact, we have three faction scores.
