Yet Another Crappy Idea - Noisy Rooms

[Cale_Knight]

I'd like to see certain rooms flagged as "noisy." What this would do is prevent the listen skill from working either into that room or out of that room. It makes zero sense that if I'm sitting in the middle of a bustling tavern, I can hear what's being said out in the busy street, and vice versa.

The flag could even be tied to the time cycle, being active or not based on what time it is. So a tavern might be noisy from early afternoon until dawn, but a clan's training yard would be noisiest from dawn until early afternoon.

Another possibility would be that if you're in a noisy room, you'd have to direct your listen skill at a single other table rather than being able to eavsdrop on everyone in the area.

I think someone said that it's already coded to be more difficult to listen in taverns than other places.  I might just be imagining that, though.

The table-targeted listen idea has been brought up before too.

There's the most recent, where Delerium was nicer than me and posted some of the previous long-winded and generally pointless threads.

I know that table-targetting has been brought up before. This would be a way to imp that while distinguishing between a quiet cafe like the one in the Tuluki bardic circle, and the Gaj and Gladiator bloodsports tavern.
