So, I decided to live in Sepermeru to save on building costs. It is all fun and games, but since then I really got curious:
What is the deal with this guy:
He is “celebrating” at some door with two guys resembling “muscle backup” all day long.
That is a guy, sometimes a girl, but always the same.
Like the guy nailed to the wall with arrows. Sure there is some harsh realities on Conan universe, but really ?
In the middle of the forest, or at the deserted road, ok.
But at this point that city would be stinking fermented exposed guts from a mile away. Sure someone would have dealt with that.
But when is the last time your character has to urinate or defecate?
Also, we can all drink sewage water just fine, but cannot eat oysters or red meat raw, even fresh from a kill.
yeah the guy cheering at the door is pretty weird. When it comes to stuff like that i imagine its an inside joke at Funcom. Maybe they all went out drinking one night and Andy got smashed and walked to a random door down the street from the bar and started hooting and hollering at it, and the next day Dennis was like, hey guys watch this and he put that npc there, and Andy was like awwww man im never gonna live that down, whole office bursts into laughter*. At least thats how i picture it
There is something very much like a chamber pot among the stuff on the core game.
The fancy latrine in the BP, also.
In medieval tech types, human waste a valuable product.
If we were to be extreme “realistic”, one of those vats in the Tannery would be to put “stale urine”, for example.
“Bleaching” before you could actually produce bleach was also done with stale Urine, as the bacteria would eat away other things and die. As people would eat lots of meat, their urine would be very much charged on ammonia as the liver cannot make all that into urea, so it circles on the blood and goes out there. (It also makes a lot of damage in your body, but that is for another story).
And some towns could always use a Schwedentrunk occasionally if the people gets a little unruly.
(around 12:00 is the relevant part)
Pff, wait until you discover how some drunks were looking for a booze in a random Sepermeru cellar, but found the monster-infested ruins of an ancient malignant civilization instead.
I guess you wont find anyone who play this game and would question the quirks of its World that doesnt know the wine cellar.
That in itself is not the strangest thing about it though.
What is strange is where you find the best truncheon in game …
But another not so strange thing is that the vendors there are often topless for no reason, which is “fine” in some ways, and not that “strange”.
What is strange is the vendors which are “turned to the wall” for some reason:
I’ve always assumed that guy wasn’t cheering, but yelling at someone inside. He’s probably the landlord, and he’s come to evict the tenant, and the muscle is there if he won’t go quietly.
