My last post made me wonder... Why don't M&B games have more life to the relationships, indeed? I mean, we could have full on romance novel action going on here.
Imagine this:
A player, or NPC, can notice how impossibly beautiful another man's wife is. This, quite charmed, fellow then goes on to have an afair with her. The husband finds out about this, and is angered out of his mind. He happens to be a noble, as well. And so, declares our little Don Juan the biggest bastard and assembles an army to annihilate our Don Juan's army, and his family, in front of his eyes. And then proceeds to finish Don Juan, himself.
Or, how about this:
You were being one cheeky little bastard, but eventually, you trash-talked the mother of a wrong man. That man decided to leave his realm, possibly with some fire, join another, and proceed to hunt you to the ends of the world. Going after all your friends and family as well, for good measure.
