It's not the idea itself that pisses me off, Vince. It's the tech behind this. So you let me play the slums for hours and do stuff, save, load next day and suddenly every save contains this "ambush". I knew you would come up with the "ambush" argument. And it's true in reality, but this is a game. You want the player to do what? Say "fuck it" and reload a save fom 2 hours before? That's what i did and it sucks.They don't call it an ambush for nothing. Besides, the idea is to kill you for fucking with them, not to let you kill them.
The moral of the story is, if you cross the thieves guild, stay away from the Slums. It's the first of many ambushes and general unpleasantries that will be added in the upcoming updates to reinforce the reputation system. Wait til you cross the assassins.
How about the ambush is triggered somewhere instead of being "on gameload" for a location. That way, if the fight is too hard, i accept it and don't go there. Of course, i could reload and be prepared... But allowing some metagaming is better than saying "FUCK YOU". Also if the ambush triggers on load - i would just do everything there and don't reload there. That is my plan right now.
