LE Reading Comprehension

[lrh9]

One thing that has always annoyed me about skill books is that they don't really tell if you've read them before they award/reward you with your skill points. I always open up a book and immediately close it even though the material is good. I was thinking that maybe there should be a mod that tests what you know about the material before you get the bonuses.

 

The mod would basically make you take a small quiz at the end of each book. The quiz would test what you remember about the material. The questions would differ depending on the material in each book, but would ask about things like plot details and characters in the case of fiction, and content in the case of nonfiction. If you pass the quiz, you get the bonuses.

 

Now here's where things can differ a little bit. These should be mod options.

 

Each quiz could have a fixed or scaled reward. A fixed quiz awards skill points like a regular book. E.g. one point if you pass. A scaled quiz awards skill points based on how well you do. E.g. A 100% score could give 2 points, while a 50% would give 1.

 

Each quiz should allow you to take it once or multiple times. If you can only take the quiz once, then your first score is your final score, and your reward is your final reward. If you can take the quiz multiple times, then either you can achieve the maximum by getting the quiz right, or you get diminishing returns each time you have to take the quiz. E.g. you can only get 100% if you take the quiz once. If you have to take it a second time, you can only get 95%.

 

Each quiz should have a special bonus for a perfect score, or just a regular reward. If the quiz has a special bonus, then maybe you get a special ability or item for a perfect score. Otherwise you just get skill points or mundane rewards.

 

Each book should have a quiz or not. All skill books should have a quiz, but maybe other books should have quizzes and rewards as well.

 

I'm going to take a crack at making this myself, but I just wanted to throw this out there.

OR..you should just get the skill point when you reach the last page of the book, instead of getting it when you first open it.
