After sinking 22 hours into Skull and Bones over 2.5 days, it’s safe to say I’m hooked. While I’m thoroughly enjoying the game, I can’t help but think about ways to enhance its depth and immersion. Here are some ideas I’ve brainstormed while sailing the virtual seas:
1, Expanding the Base Camp: I envision a more immersive base camp experience, where players can establish their own faction base on a secluded island. Starting from scratch, players could build structures like blacksmiths, shipyards, and refineries, gradually leveling them up as they progress. A thriving island base would attract more AI pirates to join the faction, creating a bustling hub of activity.
2, Diversifying Island Exploration: Rather than all islands feeling similar with standard amenities, I propose opening up more islands for exploration. These islands could be more intricately designed, akin to St. Anne’s, offering diverse environments and activities. Whether it’s uncovering hidden treasures, engaging in local politics, or undertaking unique challenges, there should be more to discover on these tropical paradises.
3, Interactive Ship Experience: Imagine being able to freely roam around your ship during battles or leisurely cruises. Players could traverse to the bow or various gun positions to get a closer look at the action. Climbing up to the crow’s nest with a spyglass in hand would provide a strategic advantage in scouting for enemies or hidden treasures. Additionally, having a personal quarters on board would serve as a command center for managing affairs while away from the base camp. Exploring shipwrecks and salvaging loot should also involve more hands-on interaction rather than just clicking a button.
4, Fleet Management: While fleet management is on the horizon, I believe there’s potential for a robust system where players can command a fleet of AI ships. These ships could be tasked with running routes or missions to alleviate tedious tasks for players. Players would act as the mothership, protecting and guiding their fleet through perilous waters. Selecting support ships to target specific enemies or assist in battles would add a layer of strategic depth to naval encounters. As players progress and expand their faction, the size and capabilities of their fleet would grow accordingly.
These ideas may seem far-fetched, but they hold the promise of enriching the Skull and Bones experience. With the developers’ dedication and the community’s feedback, I remain hopeful that future updates and season passes will bring these immersive features to fruition. Ready to set sail?
