back to the thread (as i am currently searching for a way to make lords killable) so how about his actual suggestions? I like the majority of them - how do we get it into game?
Its not good to have too much.. you know.. sex stuff in a game rated "12+"..
But.. For the question "What about female characters?", well.. You could always fine a lord to.. you know.. give you something in return.. Could be an enemy lord giving you permission to access his castle.. Something like that..
There's a number of suggestions here, beyond wenching, that I think are sterling. Anything that fleshes out the game experience a bit more is aces in my book.
