Is it possible to make mod wich adds after certain quests not only Stats or Reputation change but also title such as - Glorious or Windspear Hero? Also reputation shown not in digits but by words.

This is an interesting idea... Looking forward to what the modders have to say about this.

[Deva]

It certainly sounds interesting... but most of my characters are kinda anti-hero's who probably wouldn't want high-profile titles and stuff. Perhaps taking the name could be optional? u.u

[AnnabelleRose]

It is possible. Shadows over Soubar does it as part of their big quest.

[Rabain]

Can you give an example of how you do this? Where the text appears, what are the limitations?

It might be handy for adding some kind of perk or trait as in Fallout:

Hero of Trademeet: +1 reputation while in Trademeet.
Slayer of Kangaxx: +1 save vs death.
etc

[Feanor]

Slayer of Kangaxx: +1 save vs death.

I fail to see why a formal title would influence the saving throws...

[Rabain]

You could say the same about any weapon/item/encounter that has a bonus for anything.

Perhaps slaying Kangaxx released some magic that you absorbed. Perhaps merely the knowledge gained defeating kangaxx has given you better insight into survival. Use your imagination.

But that's magic .

The comparison you made is unappropriate, because the items are magically enchanted to give you such bonuses.

And the death of some creature can't have a magical effect too?

It would not be the title that would give you a magical ability but the deed and its effects/consequences. The title allows you to track these.

The statement you made in your first post is inappropriate because it assumes something like this could never happen. If you imagine it can then it can! As with magical weapons you have to imagine that the smith crafted the weapon with beneficial magics that aid the wielder instead of the smith saying "Lets add a save vs death to this sword".

Yes it can, but the original post refered to mere titles (example : after you destroy Firkraag, you become known as "Charname Dragonbane"), not to practical effects : it is about those deeds making you more famous. Of course, by slaying Kangaxx you could be imbued for instance with some of his power, thus receiving the saving throw bonus, but I don't think that was iopten's idea when he posted this suggestion.

[Rabain]

However you replied to my post and my post clearly stated

etc

Anyway, nevermind, it's not such a big deal.

More important that whoever knows how to actually do this shares their knowledge.

[AnnabelleRose]

C. Bisson is the one who did it for SoS, if I remember correctly.

You might ask King Diamond, since he is the one converting SoS and bug-fixing it.

No the Idea was that reputation is shown in titles aka 18 - Divine and below 6 - Hellish. As for Titles - as example there is one russian RPG Goldenland 2 where such titles where - the title should change stats also.

[Shadowhawke]

Hey, I think this idea is really interesting. I always thought that some deeds like killing Kangaxx and saving Trademeet could give the PC some cool titles. The extra perks could be really interesting as well. . And I like the idea of worded reputation. Who wants to walk around and be described as '18' by everyone instead of 'Divine'?
