Thread: Wow! Why couldn't the Theater Manager's Quest be Like THIS?!
Even with combat, I like it to be an optional way to level and get goodies - I want to have the option of static spawn locations where you can just hunt while you level and get loot/money.

I'd like to see a "Simon Says" game with flos as an option, it would be evencooler if the NPCs could perform the dance and flos for us to copy than just giving us "hints" - but yeah, I want full info no matter what or at the very least the ability to try again right away if it's just a luck roll.

Option, just an option. I think it would be bad as a forced thing. Could be fun as an option.
True, True, I actually LIKE the idea. might be fun if they could get it to work

I like this idea - kinda like helping that Twi'lek in KOTOR. Granted that implementation was a little silly and very simplistic, but a type of quest where you had to accompany another dancer or a musician, and the point was to follow their lead could be kinda fun. You could succeed or fail based on how long it takes you to follow the lead and whether you make too many mistakes selecting the wrong dance/song or wrong flourish. It would be kind of a test to see how well you know your profession.
The lead dancer/musician could switch between different dances or songs too to make it more of a challenge. You could even have missions like this on Ent. terminals. The premise could be something like, "we need a dancer/musician to fill in for one act, and we need someone who can follow a cue" or "Jabba is sponsoring auditions for a new private dance troupe. If you think you can keep up with the group, show us what you've got.". You could vary the difficulty by requiring the player to be in closer synch with the leader, and by allowing fewer mistakes. That could be fun to try.

Nothing makes you feel like you've been kicked in the stomach like having an audience tell you your outfit is tacky and then failing the audition because they wouldn't tell you what they wanted. But if they could remove a bit of the randomness then I'd be all for more of that style. I enjoyed the concept behind it, I just didn't like the "sorry about your luck" implementation.
/agree
That's the only part that really bugs me too (other than the rude comments from the NPCs, heh). The roll wouldn't be bad if you could do it right away again. The roll for info along with the timer is just too much though - it's fun sapping to have to wait to try again at something you have no control over failing.

It wouldn't be so bad if it were a one hour wait. The 24 hours of in game time is a bit too much though in my opinion.
