OBAMFSpike Posted October 5 Report Posted October 5 ......And locusts oh my! Id LOVE to see a version of the locust that was like the Bellhead, Gearfoot or Doublehead.
Rainbow Fresh Posted October 6 Report Posted October 6 Reading the title alone I thought you meant actual nightmares as a random chance when you sleep Putting LadyWYT's interpretation aside for a moment, I think those locusts would be innately funny rather than nightmare. I know I am spoiled by temporal symphony actually turning bellhead shivers into fast as fuck bells on legs (aka. actually functional as bell AND shiver) but imagine a tiny, normal locust with a tiny bell. They already make funny but annoying enough sounds, now imagine a walking bike bell following you going "Ding ding ding" every step. And putting a second head on it (bonus points if it's at the ass to just make it look/able to walk both directions) could never be scary. Of course if they get the same ridiculous damage stats as a sawblade locust that might quickly turn less "haha" - but the concept is there! 4

It doesn't need to be anything for combat, but a deployable light that follows me around would be great. Perhaps the light color could change if there's something dangerous in the area(like monsters or poison gas, if added), and the tinkling bell sound would mean it doesn't get lost as easily. In the meantime, if one wants goofy monster noises, there is the following mod. I have no idea if it still works though. https://mods.vintagestory.at/sillyshivers 2

The really cool perk though is the Jonas Eye aperture installed on front of the the Falx assembly that allows a view to the Nightvision goggles so you have two sets of eyes.

It does a few things these days, for better or worse. The changed music during storms is, iirc, addon based to begin with. The funky effects, the spoopy dave, the 12x monster spawns on apocalyptic, the violent "I can't see shit" shaking all the time, new monster sounds and bellhead shiver bell behavior are part of the base though. 1

Honestly, I think they went way too far with the changes. The earthquakes are neat, but that's pretty much the only new addition to the mod that actually feels like it fits in the world. The rest feels like it's trying way too hard to scare the player, to the extent that it's just not spooky anymore. In any case, the thread title has sparked an idea. We'll see if anything comes of it.

ESPECIALLY with all the lore content the further into the story line one finds themselves. What a cool daggum game. 15 hours ago, LadyWYT said: Honestly, I think they went way too far with the changes.
