Lore

#1 Post by vstat »

I loved the idea of the tattered scraps of paper in trollshaws. I still pick them up each game because I'm OCD and want to accomplish everything. What if there was some sort of reward over the game for gathering lore? I'm thinking it could be talent based sometimes. Each character (and race?) would have a different reward. Example: If you get all 5 lores in the trollshaws, maybe fighters get a bonus against trolls in melee. Maybe you get access to other talents and + 1 level like when you finish an escort quest. Maybe mages can gain an extra talent to be used in an appropriate category (ex fire or acid related with the trolls). I've never run across lore outside of trollshaws (then again I can't make it past 7 dungeons). If there's not any more, I think it should be added. It is good flavor at first, but then serves little purpose as it never changes.

I like the OP's idea of having a tangible reward for collecting the entire set of lore items. Maybe for Trollshaws the reward could be a key for a special vault, since there is mention of Bill's treasure trove.

Does that mean we can crack a whip back at him? :wink:
