David Brasher Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 There would be the issue of seeing the same name over and over. Like if a bandit boss was named "Black Bart" and he lived in a particular cave, he would be there every time you raided the cave, and you would kill him over and over, each time he respawned. With a different arrangement, Black Bart might appear in various caves and on the surface, and you would keep meeting him over and over at various places. You would keep killing him each time you met him, but death would not last and he would return. So a mod like this could be built in some fashion or other, but the oddities it caused might be annoying to some gamers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaktoastTheSandwichTopper Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 is it possible to assign one name out of however many? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brasher Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 If you made a leveled list with 20 male bandit boss names on it and had the leveled lists draw from these named bandit bosses, then there would be a 5% chance of a certain name coming up. If there were two bandit bosses in the same room there would be a measurable chance that they would have the same name. Over the course of your playing, if you fought 10 male bandit bosses here and there there would be like a 50% chance that you would meet a particular bandit, like Black Bart, twice. if you fought 20 male bandit bosses here and there there would be like a 99% chance that you would meet a particular bandit, like Black Bart, at least once. If you fought 40 male bandit bosses here and there there would be a good chance that you would meet Black Bart 1-4 times. So the leveled lists of named bandits would need to be rather large with lots of names. Facegen data would likely need to be generated to avoid the dark face bug. There could be problems that would break radiant quests. Another option might be to manually name a bandit boss in each dungeon and have that always be the boss in that dungeon. With or without breaking radiant quests they could be made to not respawn, so you would only meet Black Bart once ever. Another option would be to not touch the existing leveled lists and spawn points and to create your own lists and manually place new spawn points. This would put two bosses into each dungeon. The original, and the new named one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
