First let’s understand bounties.
From my playthrough, I noticed bounties are just replacing the area original monsters with the new bounty designated monsters, like the crabs festering the whole western Mariner’s Keep.
I think the whole “crabs festering a castle” theme is very funny and entertaining, however I don’t want to be told by the bounties, I want to discover it myself.
Maybe cancel out the bounty, instead make it a random event that surprises people. Like maybe in a peaceful afternoon I thought: “Hey let’s mine some coppers!” and headed towards Mariner’s Keep, but instead greeted by a large number of crabs festering the area, with a big crab boss behind them.
That would be fun isn’t it?
