Start ethnic enclaves in BG

Unread post by mastajabba »

I think it would help with immersion if we started to put some specific Ethnic/Racial enclaves in BG.

Like in the docks have a Gurish neighborhood maybe a few houses linked that have Gurrish NPC’s a wagon for flavor.

Have some enclaves of some of the races that don’t have their own community such as Gnomes and HalfOrcs. Spread about to take away from a genetic grouping of buildings into something more a real living city where minorities tend to flock together and add some of their flavor to the city like ChinaTowns and Iittle Italy ect ect

Would be pretty neat. Wouldn't mind a complete new area of the City, it's way larger than the game shows after all. Maybe some low CR to mid CR range encounters to show urban dangers.

A good idea. It might add a bit of spice.
I guess it would be nice to have a community you can tie in with your backstory. I have done that with Gullykin and my hin player.

But how else would this translate to players?
I always thought the factions in general need to be given ways to stand out. How can we support the long suffering guild/faction leaders get attention or support for all their hard work.
I see lots of players focusing on their individual needs of their player and then they get bored once needs are met (speaking from personal experience). I think what is often missing in a lot of our ambitions is that we need to working with others to accomplish the collective goals of a group.
I see leaders log in every day to represent their group, with little in the way of reward for their efforts. It would just be nice to see a number of solid populated active factions working together.

I think I might be off topic now but I wish the server were more organized in terms of factions, instead of the individual. I think the server needs a bit of a paradigm shift in this direction.

We should implement this along with the tfunke BG rework.

I the biggest problem with the factions here is that everyone is in every faction.

Why there are so many leaks. 1 faction per player should be the norm
