Kopi Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) Would you be in favor to a tattoos system similar to the one in Planescape: Torment? The tattoos would have an influence on your mind, body or soul. Edited September 21, 2012 by Kopi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amentep Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I wouldn't be against it, but I don't think it'd be necessary for me to have, either. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarog Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 This is rather a "sure, why not?" thing for me. No reason why I wouldn't like it were included, but wouldn't notice or care if it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timobkg Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 The tattoos in PS:T worked because they were unique and interesting to that game. You didn't have armor, so instead you used tattoos. Here, we have armor, so tattoos seem like trying to shoe-horn in something that doesn't fit. I'd rather the devs stick to their vision and make character equipment and customization that fits with the game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well certainly it has to fit into the game; I could see tattoos as something that could work *if* there is a monk (unarmed, unarmored) type class as a way they could still have a large number of options, for example. 1 I cannot - yet I must.

descalabro Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 that made sense in PS:T's context, otherwise I would prefer no to have it. Project Eternity: Interactive/animated or descriptive? Check my poll and vote! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deam Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I'd rather have it be cosmetic than having attributes like PS:T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limaxophobiacq Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 They were cool but they have to judge what fits the setting and game mechanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckmann Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Where's the "I don't care" option? That said, I don't really think it makes a whole lot of sense, unless you happen to have a character that can rip off and re-apply said skin/tattoos.

Pangur Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I think tattoos should stay unique to PS:T. Based on what's been revealed about the game world, I don't think they'll fit in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, of course you will not actually rip off tattoos, you just remove them by magic or technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chodes Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Tattoos would be awesome, why not include an already loved feature that can add unique bonuses and effects? Maybe some tattoos wouldn't work when covered by armor, bracers or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theobeau Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Great feature of PST and something that would definitely give PE that "spiritual successor to Planescape" feel. - Project Eternity, Wasteland 2 and Torment: Tides of Numenera; quality cRPGs are back !

DAWUSS Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 If so, they should be easily moddable. I may want tattoo options that aren't available in game. DAWUSS Dawes ain't too bright.

O.DOGG Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Sure, tattoos are cool and I loved the tattoo system in Torment but tattoos made sense in that universe - they were like pieces of armor. I'm not sure they would carry the same meaning in Eternity where they already have equipable armor (I assume). It would be cool to have them but we do not know enough of the game's world to know whether they would really fit.

eimatshya Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 If they make sense within the setting, sure. We don't really know enough about the specifics of P:E's world to say whether or not that would be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather the devs stick to their vision and make character equipment and customization that fits with the game. I agree with this. I loved the tattoos in PS:T, and I would like something that follows in that tradition, but I think something as specific as tattoos will be a rehash of the past.

Umberlin Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) If they're fitting for the setting sure. If not, no. If it were something similar, sure, as long as it's fitting for the setting. Given we have armor and such though (from what we've been told)? . . . I don't know that such a system would even be needed. Edited September 22, 2012 by Umberlin "Step away! She has brought truth and you condemn it? The arrogance!

leshy Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I wouldn't want the tattoos to replace armour like in Planescape: Torment, but if it were an additional mechanic like hair in Fable, that'd be nice Red Mage of the Obsidian Order www.cherrytreestudio.eu "In the arena of logic, I fight unarmed."

True_Spike Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 The tatoos in P:T where there because of the story. They made sense and they were very important. I don't think they would make as much sense in P:E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
