Stealing archives and map info from dead players

(1/2) > >>

Eternauta:
It would be just a small feature, but it might have interesting results if implemented. The idea is that, when you kill or find a dead player, you can get the Archives stored in his/her Pip-Boy.

I thought of two ways in which it could work:

1) When looting the corpse, a holodisk appears in the dead one's inventory (one for each Archive). I have read that with the bounty system, Dog Tags could appear on players' corpses so if it was so, I suppose coding this would be possible.

2) When looting the corpse, the Archives are added directly to your Pip-Boy. This could also include a message like "You have copied some archives from this dead wastelander's Pip-Boy."

EDIT:

But of course not Bases or Tents. Only map squares and probably places like Train Stations army Sierra Army Depot ("neutral" locations which are not shown util a NPC tells you about them).

Grommok:
Like this. Makes sense.

HertogJan:
That could be fun.
Unlike dog tags the archives should only be available to the first person looting the corpse. So no sharing archives with other people.

Grommok:
Unless you dont allows your friends to kill you.

Swinglinered:
Just make the Archive a "Folder" on your Pipboy that leads to a nested pipboy- that way you don't have a lot of clutter/huge stacks of Holodiscs.
