Guitars [Credit n1mble]

[King of kong 1117]

[Credit to n1mble for the idea] N1mble posted a suggestion about chessboards. And mentioned guitars. So I thought it would be koolion if we could have them in the game as usable objects. If you've played S.T.A.L.K.E.R, you'll probably remember huddling by a fire while a guy sat down with a guitar singing in Ukrainian.



This'd be a cool feature to implement into the game. Equip guitar - Scroll, Interact - Character Will Sing In Chernarussian While Playing Guitar, Or Just Sing.

I like the idea itself, but what's the point of it ? If it would give us some benefit then yes, but if it's just animation with singing then it's cool, but it's useless, and you just put yourself into a risk of being heard and shot at without being able to strike back

 

ex. If we kill many people and zombies, or we're wounded bad, our hands are shaky, we're scared, and playing the guitar is the best way to calm down

Exactly what I wanted to say.

Unless you could jump up and clobber someone with it, then get an achievement for it, tf2 Engineer style ;)

Not a D&D player among us!? OP you have my beans ;)

 

I'd totally be the guy with the guitar once crafting comes in and we build ourselves that little peace of heaven. Hope to see you there man!

I suppose it'd be cool for RP'ers like me who settle down and try to restore order in any way we can and live happlez ever after

I support this idea, same with the chess board. We are simulating life realisticly in a post-apocalyptic world... Why wouldn't we play guitar or board games if we feel like.

I just turn on local chat and play my own guitar, have been doing it with my unit ever since the mod. :lol:

It builds some atmosphere, a thing this game desperately needs.

I'd like it as a prop for people that can do that. Also, I may need to borrow you during trade ops.

I think it is a great idea, because games are about to have fun and not about beeing usefull.

So why don't put in another fun feature, like reading books, what I think is completely useless but cool feature, so why don't put in guitars.

More inspiration from stalker indeed! I wish the graphical quality was like stalker too :(

I wonder how hard is it to find proper guitar strings in post-apocalyptic chernarus. I'd also like a fancy strap, that'd be nice.

the 'point' of having a guitar would be to add flavor to the game. Everyone keeps throwing that word around 'point' 'reason' 'significance' one of the beautiful things about this game is that we are given the freedom to play as we chose. Military gear and all that is great for some people (myself included) but I think sometimes it would be fun to pull out my guitar, stick a quarter in my coms button, and play a few Niel Young tunes in the middle of cherno. if there were more 'fluff' items this game would be really interesting. Guitars, chess sets, trinkets (necklaces, rings, etc), golf clubs... look around your house and you will get some ideas.  really just common, every day things. It would be a great way to give your character more... character without becoming too 'gamey.'

 

I doubt they have time to implement this stuff but it would be great.

this was my idea :( why you steal it from me

[The_Man 393]

Reminds me of this

[Karmaterror 982]

Id like this....nothing to do when your fully geared, built your camp, and have 6 of every gun.....no problem.

 

Leave all your gear at camp and go play songs to fresh spawns...or challenge them to a game of chess :)

Great idea! I loved STALKER and Fallout and Metro best games ever!!!
