Hello Captains,
so currently, taverns are just a spawnpoint, the location for the stranger and a path for traveling to legends hideout.
My issue is, that there is literally no other incentive to go to a tavern to just "hang out".
In my opinion, a tavern should be the place to spend the final minutes of a long playsession,. Whenever we finish a long haul, we just stand by the beach and watch our ship burn, playing music.
There should be a reason to go to a tavern and here are my ideas:
-What about some variations in drinks, maybe some chili drink that gives fire resistance or something, just accessible in a tavern. Make them purchaseable and togo?
-What about small minigames, arm wrestling, darts, drinking contest?
-What about being able to drink and toast, whilst sitting on a bench?
I think these improvements can really add to the atmosphere of the game.
Happy sailing!
