I feel that while on the waves, I hear the same shanties and music constantly and I sometimes feel bored listening to the most iconic songs in the whole game especially when we know they can add more since we see that the second radius of possible songs that could be added. I feel that if the creators wanted to make a shanty/song themed season for their game, they can add a new “shop” (possibly next to the sovereigns if there is no room) to house possible new quests involving music and new shanties that could be made into the sea of thieves which could house 3 possible pros and 3 possible cons of this
Pros:
- The shanties themselves could be related to new lore that the devs could want to implement either relating to Ramsey, our pirate, and other characters new or old, (for example: it could tell the story of gold hoarder before he became a skeleton lord)
- The quest themselves could have music based puzzles similar to the organ in Davy Jones’s ship in pirates life which could be simple or hard depending on the shanty
- Possible iterations of the enemies we face, we know about skeletons, ghosts, sirens, and sea crawlers that attack us whenever we do certain objectives in the sea of thieves but what we’re to happen if we came across new versions of the enemies with elemental abilities like for example, we could receive a ice wielding siren that could freeze our pirate for 3 seconds in the water if we are not careful or ghosts with the ability to make fire like the ashen lords do but could be weaker because they are ghosts. Idk I just came up with this because I thought these would be a cool set of mechanics that would make these quest types interesting
Cons:
- This would be a lot to create, I am aware the sea of thieves dev team is a bit small which would be hard to produce a lot of songs ready for their viewers and have the game run smoothly
- When and where it would take place into the lore, I think this isn’t much of a con considering this could be used to explain the back story of the characters like Ramsey or flameheart but I feel it will be difficult for the devs to keep this accurate with the lore they have previously.
- Will this be really needed? I understand there is a lot the devs do for us and I understand if this idea is either can be good or bad but this is my personal idea of how to keep the “musical” part of the game alive.
