Loner trait

<< < (9/13) > >>

Slaver Snipe:
How about when you first create your character you get the free dog (maybe give it 1-2 toughness or something to make it not a walk in the park for everything to kill +living anatomy) possibly giving you awareness or when you have said dog your PE is increased by 1-2 points.  After the dog dies you have the option of buying the same type from the dog dealer whereas anyone without this trait could only get the terrible ones and yes the dog should be able to level up/possibly rebuy the dog for higher price so it keeps it's levels.

baaelSiljan:
I think newbie thing may increase alt characters count.

Other approach: "loner guild".

When You got loner trait You cannot join party, but there are some outposts (loner motels - based on "Café of Broken Dreams") for loners only, here sellers got lower barter skill and You may rent a room or buy cheap dog. Some enemies in encounters dont fight with loners, and maybe something like "derusted items" - standard items which are little better (for example +few % of dmg) but detoration of items is extremely high and items are very fallible without loner trait. Also such items may be done only from standard items via fixboy "derust" recipe. (I take this idea from MadMax car, which was usable only for Rocketansky)

ps. outpost may be visible on map only for loners

jangling:
extra skill points and 0 party points + no slaves seems balanced. anything making you stronger is overpowered and will be abused.
not being able to tag/follow is impractical and damages roleplay, making loner purely for alts and apes.
What would mad max be if he never interacted with other characters in the movie? a guy sitting there eating beans with a dog, not very exciting.

an extra tag skill ino would be perfect (if it can be done).

Chrupek:
tagging off
cant use science on hides, when loner is in map

And then loner would be really loner, so can hae some bonus. But why someone is a loner? Because he can handle himself, and dont need any help. So maybe some extra skill points for crafting skills? Extra slot for profession? Ability to make 3 tents (but still loner tents)? Free dog every respawn?

he would be happy :) and interaction doesn't mean party

Not very exciting for You, but I almost 2 years play as loner and I love it (that's why this thread is interesting for me). There are many play styles and loners are mostly casual players who play for fun before sleep. Loner should be little overpowered but not usable for alts, slower leveling cause it is for fun, not for fast exping killer for gang and it makes too difficult creating loner as alt. Even relog time may be much longer (but I guess this is not possible or hard to set it individual)
