Since it’s been stated on the trello that old sea vikings have managed to live on magis and cause trouble for the mc without being wiped off the continent I thought it is possible for towns for dark reps to exist.
Now keep in mind not every dark wizard out there is fucking insane or have truly evil intentions. Now you might think wouldn’t they just backstab each other? Yeah they probably would if the town is unorganized , and without some form of rules. Someone to lead then ,and other things would be necessary.
If someone strong enough were to make a well hidden town undetected by the mc then it is entirely possible. Now you might be thinking what if the mc finds out about it? Wouldn’t they just destroy the place? It’s highly possible that the mc isn’t doing anything because certain people of power in the mc are part of the town/organization for having good or bad intentions
Feel free to give constructive criticism and share your suggestions.
I mean, it doesn’t need to be a “bad” town. It can just be a shady place, where people don’t really care if you’re a hero or a mass murderer. Business is business, I guess.
I suggest a dark-rep trading outpost. They randomly spawn, just like all other structures. They contain 3-4 random wanted merchants. There would be 1 smuggler, and the other 3 wouldn’t be duplicates. There would also be a few dark wizards there too, just to protect the merchants.
There probably should be one area on the map where you can go to be safe and actually do the things you need to do dark arts society base for example, I think this would be safe cause imagine you can’t find a wandering alchemist and the only reliable place to find one is across the continent.
Maybe it doesn’t show on a Positive person’s map but appears on a Negative person’s map. If they become Positive then maybe add a door that only Negative people can enter. Like an Open Sesame kind of thing. And maybe it isn’t always in the same spot, maybe it can spawn around Magius to make it more hard to find for Positive’s.
You can talk to a bunch of dark rep npc in the game and sometimes they will talk about it, also in the bad rep storyline the prologue is about making the dark arts society a real guild or just type dark arts society in the forum search bar
Some of this too from the Minotuar
“Some dark wizards are looking to start up a guild called the dark arts society, and the Exiled was their final roadblock, I just met one of their strongest members”
“His name is Dacien a young wizard who has been a criminal his entire life if you are looking to help the dark arts society, he’s the guy you wanna talk to. He says he needs all the help he can get.”
Of course not all osv are hostile but a good deal of them are to be considered pests for the mc.
As for towns they just need to be well hidden and protected with magic or something .
i’m pretty sure that’s possible. Besides being hidden, dark towns would change locations to prevent such a thing from happening. Heck towns for dark reps don’t even have to be on the continent maybe just some island or even another dimension if possible
Never said it had to be a reskin. All I’m saying is one or two small towns were bad reps can do business without the mc breathing down their necks would be nice.
Some base of operations would be logical if your starting a criminal organization. Another reason why a town for bad reps could exist is simply because whoever runs it is possibly too powerful for the mc to destroy or someone in the mc is preventing it from being destroyed for good or bad intentions. Besides aren’t bad reps getting forbidden magic? So I don’t think it’d be that far fetched if a well hidden base/town for dark reps to do business and act as a base for operations could possibly exist.
As for my statement of it being In a separate dimension or island it would take far longer for it to be destroyed would probably be protected. Also if it is destroyed it would make since for dark reps to switch locations for their base or have a few backups.
A town for bad reps obviously wouldn’t function exactly like a normal town.If that was so then obviously there really wouldn’t be a point in them existing.
