...it's currently at the end of the "new modes, characters, and maps" post started by "cyber"- something. Wouldn't be hard to add I hope.

Thanks for putting work into this. I would like more product from the developer to add to the game as well.

]It is very ambitious though, since there's already ways of changing the gear through the menues im not sure I'd spend a whole lot of time in town. Walking around seeing the towns folk might give me more of a reason to fight. I'd be reminded of the classic film "Seven Samurai", and maybe help contrive a new reason to keep playing. Rather than make it out to be a big shopping sim, it might be interesting to make each tiny territory on the faction war map into a mini free for all sandbox. One that changes depending on if the territory is owned by its ancestral faction or been conquered by a rival, or currently the setting of battle. It's a quiet peasant village now, but in 5:59 hrs it could be on fire. Running into rivals and getting into a duel could be exciting.

- Probably more appropriate for its own suggestion thread. I understand what you mean though of it needing a real reason to fight and continue to play.

I suggested a "head hunter" mode in another forum. Basically you collect heads of defeated enemies by performing a certain number of decap finishers on them during a game and you keep their head and list of their stats as a trophy. The only thing is where to put them? An upgradable abode would be ideal. Starting with a soggy tent and a bloody sack that fits 3 trophies outside of a poor border village you could upgrade to a palace in the city center.

- Not that it's relevant to this thread, but you said you didn't want a sim and this is exactly what you followed your comment with. I don't think a upgradable home would add anything to the game, or make me any more likely to feel a reason to fight for my faction. My idea of having the town become more prosperous gives a reason to fight.

If I had a sense of ownership localized in one or another territory on the faction war map I would have a bigger reason to play months/years from now. If I found that my town were under attack I'd pour all my efforts into defending that territory and not loose my trophies, extra sentimental gear, and salvage.

Some rpg ements like this are necessary to give the game more personal emersion and longevity. Right now I don't have a lot of prompts that let me write a personal story in my head as I play. I'm just a nameless soldier in a war I have no comprehension of.

- This summarizes the whole thread nicely. I really do want to see For Honor do well. I want to want to play.
