[Idea] Other adventurers to compete with for loot

Post » Thu Jul 25, 2013 1:45 am

Why is it I'm the only one going to dungeons and such killing monsters and looting chests? Why are there no other adventurers or adventuring parties? I'm aware there is one other mod that adds 'adventurers' but they do not enter outdoor interiors, they just kill bandits and such. I think this would make the world so much more dynamic and alive, as you might run into other adventurers and have to compete with them for loot and such and might even 'gasp' find a dungeon with the traps tripped the the treasures gone and the monsters slain. Or you might find the adventurer died trying. What do you guys think?

Sounds like a cool idea. What about sometimes working with other adventurers (temporary follower)? The adventurer might turn out to be honorable and share the loot or stab you in the back in an attempt to take everything.

I like the idea in theory but I suspect it might tend to become annoying in practice. If we entered too many dungeons that had already been cleared and looted by NPCs I could see that becoming an annoyance to many players. There is also the possibility of interfering with Radiant quests. I'm sure these problems, if they are problems, could be gotten around with careful scripting, but my hunch is that this might be a more complex mod to pull off than might appear on the surface.

I like MrJack's idea of temporarily joining forces with adventurers. There is at least one dungeon in the game that has an adventurer who can accompany us. I don't usually like permanent followers but I do like having a follower for a single dungeon. And if the chance of encountering one of these followers was random, I think it would make dungeoneering a little more interesting.
