Lovely … add to that:
- sour ale will empty your bowels and weaken you (need “soiled underwear”-effect)
- alcohol will slow your reflexes
- untreated wounds will infect, weaken and cause hallucinations (need “pungent smell”-effect)
- choke-hold will leave you dizzied / unconscious
- (hammer) blow to the head will make your ears ring / deaf and dizzied / unconscious
I’d like to see … hanging, burning, gutting, prostitution, poaching, stealing from corpses, fat gay priests, greedy Jewish merchants / loan sharks, horses brought down by weapons, riders crushed by their horses … in other words, this game needs to ooze “18+”. Did I mention tits?
I’d like to hear … birds in the forest (owl at night), wind cutting through cracks in houses, creaking doors, slamming locking bars, howling dogs finding my trail (losing it when I wade through knee-deep water), distant church-bells sounding the alarm, women getting raped, knights vomiting.
I’d like to experience … collecting a fat ransom for a gentry whose life I decided to spare, saving a damsel in distress, stealing from the church.
Landscape … a brick windmill would be a great addition (easy defense, good hiding place, romantic meeting spot), a sawmill run by water near the woods, an execution field (gallows).
But most of all, I’d like Warhorse to keep the amount of “nice-to-haves” in check with the overall work that needs to be done. More flesh can be added to sequels.
