Generated Jobs/Quests boards
Posted: Wed Sep 14, 2016 1:17 am
this i believe i've seen suggested before but ..i would just like to basically repost the request/suggestion.
basically
I would like the ability to build boards that I , as well as NPC could post jobs to for people to take and carry out as an objective .
For example perhaps i'm a skeleton and i need robotics repair parts but i can't go get them myself due to injury and i don't wanna send my own squad members to get it or because i only have -1- character at the time. then i could post the job for a courier to go get one bring it back an pay them for it..assuming they survive..this is kenshi after all.
Other jobs might include an NPC asking for help in building their new building(s) .
or asking for an escort to the next town/city.
some of them could of course be 'illegal' jobs as well but these wouldn't have a listed task they would simply say something like Seeking a someone good at keeping secrets, or Seeker of a Shadow warrior , or something for like spies or ninja or something. which would basically want you to go an steal something. or assassinate someone..though ideally a little more vague to add mystery.
of course not all of them should be illegal..perhaps someone just wants you to move something without drawing attention to it.
perhaps expanding on it slightly perhaps each shop could have a job board for tasks the shop might need to have completed
Like the typical fetch quest - Go mine, and bring back 8 iron. Produce 5 swords of X type and y Quality. Each quest would list things like
Estimated difficulty and Estimated payment. both of which wouldn't inherently be guranteed. since i think people should be able to betray you an break their words depending on things like their personality traits or something.
After all it should work to keep you on your toes. maybe the guy who hired you to kill John , doesn't want to take the chance you might tell someone so he decides to ambush you with his friend or something.
or they might try to jip you out of the payment by paying you less than agreed to , or using persuasion type skills you could negotiate to get paid more or even negotiate exclusive contracts to be the persons only supplier from then on out.
each settlement should be able to build one, and if you wish to attract people to your settlement a requirement should be to build a jobs board to first identify you plan for other people to join your settlement eventually.
