So for every companion the method of recruitment is just chatting them up at a bar, maybe paying them, and then they are your pal for life. I know they have boring text based stories, but that does nothing to give them a personal connection to the player. I want interesting recruitment options in the future. Here are some scenarios for them and heroes that could fit that mold.
-
Bandit Leader: This hero is the leader of a group of bandits. You have to defeat him and his group and spare his life for him to join you. (Borcha)
-
Tournament champion: This hero is a legendary tournament fighter. You have to defeat him and win a tournament he's in. After that, you can find him in a bar and get him to join you. (Rolf)
-
Heretic: This science based hero was labeled a heretic and is locked away in a dungeon to rot. You have to break him out of the dungeon and then he will join you. (Artimitter).
-
Charming Rogue: This guy or gal slept with the wrong nobleman's wife or daughter, and is locked in a dungeon awaiting execution. Or maybe slept with a nobleman who wants to hide their homosexuality or adultery. Similar to the heretic, you have to break them out. (Nizar, Ymira)
-
Damsel in distress: This hero was captured by bandits, and is either in their prisoner party or at a bandit camp. You have to kill the bandits and rescue her. After that she will join you. (Klethi)
-
Bandit victim: This hero lives in a town that is constantly harassed by bandits. After training the townsfolk and defeating the bandits, the hero wants to join your party (Deshavi)
-
The Smuggler: This merchant has one last job to perform. He has to smuggle something very important to another city, and needs someone to guide him. If you choose to help guide him to the city, you will be ambushed by a group of bandits along the road. Once you finish the job, he will join you. (Marnid)
I can think of tons of more scenarios, but these are just a few. Basically, I would like the recruitment to have meaning for the heroes and the character to add a little story to the world. If anyone thinks its a good idea and wants to make a mod like this, feel free to use this idea.
