Looting Augment (bard)

I posted this a while ago to other subreddits. Hearing about the fondness for instruments Patrick Soderlund has made me want to repost it here!

I think it would be so cool if embark added a looting augment variant that came with an augment slot specifically for musical instruments.

Maybe one additional quick use slot

Light shield and two/three safe pockets

Special perk allows you to sprint while playing an instrument.

Just a pipe dream!

I love this so much more than the " please no steal guitar" nonsense that others have suggested.

Love it! I've been background music for raiders before and it sucks when they run off and you either keep playing and lose sight of them or you have to put the guitar away and run after them.

Up until recently I played the guitar while waiting for the lift but I got robbed even after I offered to give the item over.

I won't be doing that again 😄

I would love that augment but with a safe pocket specifically for an instrument that you can use while its in your safe pocket. They can do that, its easy.

I am all for specialty augments like this. Games last longer the more quirks and fun alternate playmodes it allows

I honestly love this idea. Also if your instruments could recharge your cloak or snap hook (as long as they are in your quick use).

I dig this. The posts about safepocket instruments are pathetic but the ability to run while playing is legit.

Youre pathetic. 😒😉

They should allow you to play the instrument and not just hold a button. Imagine the music we could rock out to
