Follower trading
« on: December 22, 2009, 05:17:17 pm »

If you bought (or enslaved) merc or slave (or even brahmin), it would be really cool to sell him to the other players. It could even grow up to the real slavers, which sell some slaves to lazy or are non-slavers (in a "slave hunters" meaning).

The option to sell would occur when follower is nearby and you stay 1 hex from a customer. It would be a traditional trade dialog like with merchants or players, but in your menu are icons of followers (skins). There would be no price set from followers. Just your customer need to deal the offer.

Of course, firstly follower bugs need to be fixed.

It could appear as a new button on the right click or as a "slave object" when you are trading goods with another player.

Just like Tandi in Fallout 1 ? Hmm, not sure it's the good way to do this.

I agree, carrying a guy around in your inventory is kinda...
I think a good way to do this would be 'slave auctioning' or something.

Why can't it just be done the simple way of giving a player an object that infers ownership.
Trade the object to transfer ownership.

Indeed. Slaves would have some "collar key" or whatever. Brahmins could have leash. Using the leash on the target would change its ownership to the user.

Based on evidence collected from various sources by trustworthy attendees it is undisputed veritability that the land ravaged by atomic warfare which caused extreme change of the ecosystem and environmental hazards can be considered unpleasant, rugged and unforgiving.

Would it really be that hard to just make it stay over death? You make it sound as if this one flaw destroys the whole suggestion.

Could we not do it via dialogues? You just tell a slave that Blind Uncle Joe is his master now. Slave then talks to Joe, and he accepts.
