Yeah, I fully understand why it’s done for game mechanics reasons, but it’s a little odd that emos can only have one tattoo and one piercing.

I agree…but then it’s also kind of silly that you can sell your tattoo at the Ppwn Shoppe. Hopefully we will address some of the stupider aspects of FWZ someday.

As for multiple piercings…it’s not just game mechanics, but it would imbalance the character if you could fill an ear slot, an eyebrow slot, etc. We may open up the possibility of carrying more piercings as you progress through the game, but I think it should come at a large cost, such as your ability to heal.

PROBACKGROUNDER: Personally, my greatest influence as far as game design contributions is Sega’s Shadowrun. In that game (as in the general Shadowrun RPG series), you can get all kinds of cybernetic implants or Wolverine-like hand spurs, but it’s at a cost to your “Essence” or life force.

We can think of these limitations as your player’s inability to handle anymore. Maybe we could come up with a “Balls” statistic or something like that.
