Feedback on sailing: clean deck over and over again is boring

Post by Sandrow » Wed Aug 10, 2022 7:53 am

While sailing. My ship deck would be full of enemies' corpses within half an hour. Less and less spells are able to clean them up, and bash them all is horrible. Could we have a console command or an option in -ship command to clean the deck quickly?

Most people just bash them after looting, every fight, and RP tossing them off the deck. I havent heard complaints.

It can be lol, dead bodies pile up on penny rose. Spell casters can use burning hand to burn them off, but melee...hm...get a wand for now?

Maybe I should take some advice, and carry a case of burning hands to clean up our deck

The really easy solution is just to bash the corpses after you loot them. If you're a mage, have your summons do it. If you're a melee character, just do it yourself. You could RP this as tossing them over, chopping them up, maybe add it to your RP to make your pirate look more badass and ruthless.

There's SO MUCH awesome stuff all padded into the sailing system, to the point that it feels like an entirely different game when you deep dive into it. I highly recommend checking it out either on Sencliff or with a crew of characters who want to sail.

Ooh deck swabby concept
This too shall pass.
