Lootable paintings

[RPGista]

Cmon, what are you guys talking about? If its an awesome Caravaggio painting, grab that thing and put it in your living room, if its just some meh landscape painting, leave it there. Problem solved.

y' know.... there is something to be said about that....

Yeah I guess the way it is now invites investigation, scouting, curiosity (is that a monalisa I see there) and planing with possible altercations and such which in the end only adds to the game play experience and isn't that why we play stealth games in the first place.

That's one way of looking at it, but it's equally valid to be frustrated that you have to potentially risk detection in order to check every single painting in order to find out if they're loot. It would be the same as making all goblets look the same and only some of them are loot. We would generally consider that bad design.

Caravaggio LOL. Seeing Whistler's Mother in Bridgeport also makes for good comedy. More original art for paintings!

I had a fondness for looting paintings. It makes the place look more ransacked and makes the world more interactable.... but I agree it's not done well and not every painting should be stolen.

 

This topic reminded me of this one art heist that was unsolved and the empty portriats hanging.
