Topic: Mutate (good times come one!)

Idea for the mutation gain thingy!

An man-or woman -in a robe approaches you. He could be a monk, but there is something strange about him. Two eyes glow from under the hood. No-one else seems to notice but you. He puts a gnarled finger into his robe, and pulls out three strange pieces of junk. You feel compelled to take one.

-Take the rusty mechanical eye - cyborg path, increases accuracy and attack, decreases charisma

-Take the phial of strange liquid - mutant path, increases strength and defense, decreases mind

-Take the worm - mental path, increases mind + plus allows psi powers

You black out after choosing. When you wake up, the man is gone. But you feel different.

Re: Mutate (good times come one!)

I hadn't heard much of anything about the mutations recently, so I wasn't sure what (if anything) was going on with them.  If this is the thread for suggestions, here's mine.

What my thought was that there would be a quest that would take you through the radioactive wastelands.  You'd get some radiation poisoning, and end up getting killed by one of the zombies out there.  Once that happened, you'd talk to a monk.  He could get rid of your radiation poisoning, but to do it he would have to "fix" your DNA in a certain manner to get heal you this time.  That "fix" would be the mutation you got.

I think I've experienced this deja vu before...

Re: Mutate (good times come one!)

Mutations are still in the pipeline (roadmap 2.9). What I had in mind was that at every 10 levels you would be up for some mutation. Mutations would probably be some combination of good and bad...more of a specialization than a perk.

Are you playing?

Yeah, I thought my mysterious man could appear all deus ex every 10 levels, where'er you may be...
