Putting things on corpses

Since you can now take things off corpses I would also like a feature for putting things on corpses.

You might want to honor a dead friend by dressing him in nice clothes, adorne him/her with jewlery etc.

It might open up for some more interesting cultural diversities...like the Chambers of the Dead in Krif.
People might make different "burial jewlery", like the coins on the eyes to pay the ferryman...

I thought of this idea last night - No idea why, but it just popped into my head.

We want burial clothes!

Yeah, that would be cool! But if there would be shrouds, there should be a possibility for the graverobbers to use the shrouds as material for clothes, just like ordinary cloth... :twisted:

Oh wait, then you really don't have to add shrouds, people should just place some cloth among with the corpse and imagine it's called a shroud.

i thinking more along the lines of neding a needle to make a shroud so it's stitcked around the body more then just wrapped up like a mummy

I think we should be able to put messages on corpses. Something like a tombstone message or something. Maybe beable to put a few flowers but I don't think we should put clothes or anything of value. To me it's like a waste of resources.

I mean don't get me wrong our characters love their dead loved ones but most people can hardly clothe themselves let alone every dead person they care about. Well, just a thought.

I think that being able to put things (all things) into the inventory of a dead body is a great idea. I'd love to see it. When I first saw we could take things off dead bodies I wondered why we couldn't put them on as well.

Add a lock and we could just use the dead bodies as storage!

only because of the way society has influenced you.

A society could grow where that sort of thing is considered normal, but perhaps physical contact is considered sickening. We don't think there's anything disgusting about shaking hands, but they would be mortified.

Would putting items be such a good idea? You could potetionally destroy items by burying them.

Go ahead, put all your storage in there. You favourite sabre, 10,000,000,000 grams of Diamonds, and your favourite fur cape. Then... WOOPS, what's that? Someone clicked the Bury button. ALLLLL GONNNNEEE.

See, that would be abused, for sure. Dunno how... maybe like, a thief taking things then burying them with the body, kind of thing.

OHHH!! Idea.

Digging bodies back up from the grave. Burry the people with their possessions or something... dig them up in 50 years... WOW, I'm a Graverobber!

That'd be cool.

Back to my first point though. Do we really want the potetional to destroy items and resources? Okay, yes, I can see how some of you will put notes on the body and bury it, horray, trash bag bodies! But, it could be used for other things that wouldn't be ideal... ya know what I'm saying?

If you get locked up, hide the evidence, get searched, or whatever people do, then take your loot form the body. :twisted:

it would be quite a good way of getting rid of things you don't want.

I think the option should be there for people to use, whether they do is their choice.

Burying rubbish notes would be one of the most tragic things to happen to Cantr - all that history lost. Bearing that in mind, I think being able to put things into bodies should only be possible when digging up bodies is possible.

Yeah, isn't Cantr II 2.0 going to have a grid system? I think it would work better there, being able to dig up bodies.
