An idea/suggestion

Hello,

after clearing out what I imagined to be the catacombs in the chatedral up north from mansfield, I thought that it be cool if you could find certain objects, maybe an old spellbook/scroll or something that can only be found at specific places. But it wouldn't stop there, enemies (especially named ones) would have the same idea as you, so they would actually have a reason behind travelling from their home.

Maybe some races/entities try to protect some old relics, so if you get them, you might be powerful but you now got a whole race of beings trying to hunt you down.

Another idea would be stuff like keys and such, that you have to find to go certain places, which would be carried around by enemies and other such that had the same idea. This would make every game very dynamic. Maybe some places can be world altering, so as soon someone reaches it you'd feel/notice it in the world and have a clue that someone did.

I don't know if any of these things would be possible to implement though.

I like the idea of having some unique things hidden in different parts of the world, I have some plans for the 4th rarity level of items that would make them more unique, so maybe spawning a random one in hidden, random places could give extra incentive to explore.

Not sure about the keys, I like the idea of a completely open world and not having to go to any place or track down a specific person to progress, maybe as some bonus stuff.

As for the possibility to implement, I have a custom engine and performant language at my disposal, so given enough time almost anything is possible. :) The significant restrictions will be time and priorities, but I plan to stick to Soulash for at least next few years so I'll have enough time to implement great ideas. Feel free to share anything you can think of.
