To make it easier for ourselves and for larian to keep track of things, I started a thread about property.
I'm not sure if we will be able to own or buy houses or castles or anything, but I guess thats what this forum is here for. To let Larian know what we want.
Ok so here I go:
I want at least to be able to buy houses. What would be better is if we could build our own houses. By this I mean give a group of workers gold, get the stuff that they need and they will build it for you.
An Idea I really liked was NeroJBs suggestion in the original wishlist
Property ownership...or the ability to find a remote location and start a hideout, fort, or small town. Then depending on your character's alignment you would attract certain sorts of people...so say you are a sneaky thief type character with a penchant for assassination...your hideout would attract black market folks and bandits looking for a real leader...
Just imagine starting the game with nothing but clothes(not even shoes!!) and then building up through the course of the game to where you could have a functioning town, with smiths, and sages, and guards and whatnot...Its almost like a more general version of sim city put into an RPG...I love the idea.
I like this idea since this could be a way to not only start your own town but maybe start a guild/clan/army I would however want it to keep the rpg feeling.
So maybe you start with one little hide-out/safehouse/countryhouse and as you do quests/explore the world, you will meet people. And these people might need a place to stay since they lost everything and everyone or just like you and look up to you.
So the people that you meet and that want to join you might follow you to your house and stay there untill you need party members.
If you meet lots of people that house will become too small and you would need another one, maybe one of those people is rich and wants to build one of his own, or you have to build one more yourself.
Endless posibilities. (some are in the original wishlist thread)
I do realize that this idea would be a huge thing to add and that it most likely will not make it in the game. But one thing I didn't really like in other games was that the towns were kinda dead. I mean no houses in construction no new people immigrating in the town. You would think that if bad things happen to a city, people would want to go to a safer place. More people come to this safer place, and because there are more people more traders will come too because more people = more money.
Maybe you could start your own town by finding an old abandoned town that you could renovate instead of building everything up from the ground.(after taking care of whatever the reason was why the town got abandoned) this should be easier to add in the game.
