Avast ye scurvy scoundrels, Zevaryian is on deck!
So, mini-games, huh? Lemme just tell you...
How FANTASTIC this idea really is!
First off, I'd like to say that I've been craving player trading (which I'll get into in a different post), and one of the first steps of that is being able to transfer currency between players. 'Gambling' could very well be one way to begin the route to player trading, while also adding some immersive features to Sea of Thieves.
Playing dice on a long voyage is something I naturally think of when I think of the word "Pirate". Gambling, betting, rolling dice or playing cards, these are factual things sailors did to pass time throughout history. As for Sea of Thieves, not only would it add that realistic culture to the game, it would provide a nice break from continuously farming gold or doubloons, or trying to grind your way through the Tall Tales or commendations. At the end of the night, before you get off, just imagine being able to have that last little bit of fun gambling some of that(those) hard earned Gold or Doubloons, maybe even Ancient Coins!
That is something I'd be more than willing to get behind! There could even be a whole new section to add to the commendations made specifically for the mini-games. I'll be sure to post up some ideas that I've had for possible dice/card games within Sea of Thieves, for now however, I'd like to just touch on one more thing.
@mferr11 You do have a somewhat valid point while bringing up the rating of the game. I believe it's currently at an E for ages 10 and up, however, bringing in the gambling would force the game's rating up to at least M for mature, ages 17 and up.
That being said, while I would love to see a sort of mini-game series to play, mayyybe the gambling approach isn't the best idea, however there's nothing against just simply including dice or card games. I suppose it's slightly debatable, but neither here nor there.
