Random lore only found in order

#1 Post by Grey »

Stealing an idea from someone else on IRC... Lore notes that are generated randomly and are part of a set (Lorekeeper Hadak, Weisman/Rolf letters, Necromancer newsletter, loremaster Verutir) should be generated in order. So when the game tries to generate Hadak's second note, it should check if the first has been generated, and if not then that should be generated instead.

I don't think I've ever found them out of order.

I don't mean the zone-specific ones.

I don't either - the necromancer or troll poems I have never found out of order that I can recall.

I've found the Necromancer's poem, and the Troll's poem out of order in the older betas regularily.
In the current version, I keep finding the Rolf/Weissman letters out of order.

So yeah, indeed, I agree with the OP. It would be nice to find them in the right order.
