Inn Room Functions

[Adire]

There's a difference in noise level between casual conversation or the exchange of items between two people/haircut, and outright explosions of crafting and material making. There's also a difference between appropriate music volume for music as well. You can control the volume of music, you can't control the necessity of noise used for crafting.

So alas, we must restrict the convenience of players crafting and dyeing in inn rooms to preserve the lore and immersion for people who wouldn't know people are crafting and dyeing in inn rooms anyways.

Doesn't make any sense to me personally, but oh well.

People who care THAT much about roleplaying and immersion won't craft in an inn room anyways.

And the people who do craft and dye in one in practice won't disturb the people who care about it because the people who care won't know they're doing it in the first place.

OP's the one bringing up the case of 'lore' where she argues that abilities that we can currently use are comparatively 'louder' than what we can't do, so we should be able to do all those other activities. I'm only stopping that perception as it isn't true.

Technically speaking, the inn room is sort of the 'fast load' area of the game i.e. the lowest memory usage. I, for one, sometimes will use the inn room for load times in and out of DF when I'm playing on my lagtop, simply because the restriction of abilities and zones makes the loading times far quicker than outside. As retainers and aesthetician are loaded on demand, rather than already existing in the area, they don't stress the inn room area enough to make an impact on people who use it for the fast loading concept. These little things do matter; in a farm party and you're taking longer than the queue time to load in? Yup, I'm going to the inn to make that time faster.

Agreed, it's not true.

My reply to your quote wasn't so much directed at your comment as it was to the general reader. Apologies if it seemed like I was disagreeing with your noise point.

I've only brought up similar discussions in the past, with lore/immersion being used as the only defense against being able to do more in inn rooms. I don't really buy into this defense, for the reasons mentioned above.
