Bandits Need to Loot MORE

[Belth]

The trailer shows us how you get looted by bandits and how they take your belongings and then you can go and try to claim them back. However in it's current experimental build 0.95.8 things are not like that. Bandits will only take your food and leave your gear even if it is way worse than theirs. I would like to see that changed. Ruins my immersion.

i'm going to assume you meant 'if your gear is way /better/ then theirs.

which i agree they 'should' rob you more. but they should take things into account when they opt to take your stuff.

1) How much is the item worth? if its worthless they shouldn't inherently take it. unless there a hungry bandit then i could see it since even if its junk they might be able to get some food for it.

2) How much does the item weigh? is this my preference for a weapon?(in the event of seeking better gear) after all there ability to move quickly , i think would be important. its definitely something i as a player consider. if they lack the skill to use the weapon. then i don't see them inherently stealing it /if/ its also heavy. again i can see them stealing it to sell but time vs profit tends to always play a role in 'theft'. if its so heavy they can barely lift it then i don't think they'd bother.

Things like that.

i could probably think up more but i think those would be the core things a bandit would take into consideration when it comes to theft,

Yeah, sorry about that I did mean that bandits should take your gear if it is better than theirs. Right now I do not feel challenged enough. If the devs feel that making bandits more dangerous will ruin the game for some of us they can make the gear looting optional with a checkbox or something. Right now the current checkbox "Bandits will loot player" might as well be renamed to "Bandits will eat yar foood!!!" nothing more.

They could do worse. Attack you, take your stuff, enslave you and sell you off for a quick buck. I wouldn't have ALL of them doing that. But I could see there being a faction of bandits that does so regularly.

I have built this into the AI of my factions I am making for a mod, and I have to say it is great. there is nothing quite like seeing your squad get wiped, and then robbed blind by their attackers, and left for dead in the wasteland. and of course to add insult to injury... or actually to add injury to insult the nearest beakthing comes along and eats your unconscious body.

Kenshi is the greatest.
