This is fine with me, but there is a problem: if we assume that characters forgot _everything_ (including their names, families etc.), they will first decide a new name, which is ok of course, but skills and others? How would they remember that? I think that from week to four weeks since the Cataclysm would be ok. Also, this brings me to another problem which is seen only when the game has been running for some time (it seems that either nobody has been thinking about this or then nobody worried about this). The problem is with the new players which do not start the game when the game first opens but, let us say, a few weeks or months (whatever) after the game has started (in game terms, long time after the cataclysm). Why they will not remember anything and what they have been doing for the past weeks/months/years? Lying in coma or what? Ideas for this please, since I assume it is as big problem to be solved as the "dementia" for the first characters in the game. -- | ~ Sinister / Serpent of Nightside ~ | | <sinister.serpent@sci.fi> http://i.am/sinister.serpent/ | --o-- Nightside homepage: http://www.netti.fi/~halsa/ --o-- | Nightside e-mail: <nightside@hotmail.com> |
