Hello,
I have recently made a norn guardian with my wife. She is very much enjoying the class for it’s great abilities, I am enjoying myself by providing her with a bit of roleplay entertainment as we go along. As I am a norn, I drink. Lots. This has led me to notice quite a lack in Ale.
In alot of Norn regions (possibly others too, but Norns would be the priority at least for the lore!) there are random taverns. Most have a brewmaster, some passed out patrons, sometimes even a bartender merchant BUT.. no Alcohol. No Beer, no Ale, no Mead, no Lager, no Whiskey! How can this be ? All the Norn taverns or even houses should have a merchant with alcohol! There are even bartenders that sell non-alcoholic drinks in LA.
Also, drinking ale is.. useless. The small drunk effect lasts for about 30 second, and you’re the only one to see it. There isn’t even an animation for drinking so people know you’re doing it. Here are some suggestions (some seen in other games).
- Make the character walk a bit dizzy when not in combat.
- Add drunken text when someone talks (switch letters, add caps to one word)
- Drinking one drink: Tipsy 3 minutes of slightly blurred screen (as it currently is in game)
- Drinking 5 drinks: Impaired 3 minutes of Blurred screen and white glow effect (Currently occurs in game in some parts) and 5 minutes of slightly blurred screen.
- Drinking 10 drinks: Drunk 1 minute Daze effect, 5 minutes of White Glow, 5 minutes of slightly blurred screen. Speech is heavily altered in this state.
- Drinking 12 drinks: Alcoholic Pass out for 2 minutes. Display the words Passed out in front of character name, allow people to “revive” the character by splashing water on them. This would be great especially when a guild drops a barrel of ale in town, you’d see a bunch of passed out characters, what a party!
So please, add more details for beer, especially with the Norns, this currently makes little story sense.
NO ALE, NO SALE!
