Whatwasit Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) Short description: Make it a requirement and not a choice for all players to add a description to their character. Detailed description: See additional information Commands to add: N/A Items to add: N/A How would your suggestion improve the server? It will improve roleplay situations, it will smoothen roleplay and will prevent powergaming. Additional information: As everyone uses the same character model, it is impossible to know what kind of character you are dealing with. Being able to use /examine to see what kind of character another player is portraying is an essential feature that should be a standard requirement for every player on the server to add to their character. Currently we have a command to be able to set a description to your character (/attributes) and we have the ability to use a command to see the description of other players (/examine). Unfortunately there are a lot players which either don't know about this command or don't bother to add a description to their character, which is really a shame because this IC knowledge has a lot of impact on roleplay situations, it will smoothen roleplay and will prevent powergaming. How to easily take care of this for all players? Upon logging in on the server players should receive a notification that notifies them to set a description to their character. It should pop up as notification every time they are logging in until the description has been set. There are no downsides by adding this. As mentioned by Jennie in the comments, it will also be a good way to finally be able to describe players to the police and to others, based on the description of the players themselves. 29 minutes ago, Jennie said: If I have to report someone to the police I'll need some basic data, not generic data taken from GTA V body/ies. 1 hour ago, Whatwasit said: To those not agreeing with the suggestion, please answer the following question. Why wouldn't you want others to have basic IC knowledge about the character you're roleplaying and let your character's appearance be a secret to others? This is simple knowledge about the character such as race, height, build and estimated age of the character for example. This is basic and essential information that would benefit everyones roleplay.

finnc Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Agree with this, tend to /examine most people I have any meaningful interaction with, allows for a bit more depth with the RP. Link to comment

While you're at it, take a look at this topic as well: Specifically: Quote Before posting a suggestion, make sure it wasn't suggested before or you'll get a forum warning. It really makes our work way harder if we have to browse through duplicate suggestions. 1 Link to comment
