Hmm… Let me pull out old idea I’ve had… ah! There it is: Stepping back for a bit... and feedback for Fatshark - #57 by Lt.DavinFelth
I was a bit grumpy back there, but here’s the gist:
Voice lines from known NPCs or (Big E deliver) short animations (skippable cutscenes) within the game as lore introduction / bug wrangling / addressing community nagging points.
Besides, we’ve had that with Dark Carnival introduction.
That’s first.
Second idea:
Mess hall / bar - your local Grendyls Warband Grapevine.
Gambling, booze and of course - Gossip!
Or you know… if you want to be boring - Strategium Meetings with Morrow.
