Goggles and Spectacles as amulet

    Both of these items are rather useful early on, but it seems like such a tremendous waste to lose out on the helmet slot with them. Since both of these technically don't cover up the head and are closer in size and shape to the amulet items, I'm suggested having both of these to take up the amulet spot instead.

    What do people thing?

    The goggles can be equipped and de-equipped whenever you need to craft something.

    @pauyasfyla Yeah they can be equipped/de-equipped, but thats not the point. This is just a suggestion for a change to these items so you can have benefits of head protection and still be able to wear other "neck and above" items.

    I agree. I'd like to have this implemented. The Amulet slot could just be renamed "Accessory" instead then flag Goggles, Spectacles, and Amulet as Accessory, then you could put all three item types in the slot.

    I hadn't thought about renaming the slot as Accessory, but I like it a lot. It allows for all sorts of other ideas to be put there. Right off that bat I can think of earrings, pocket watches, or just a #2 pencil stuck behind the ear.

    Accessory slot is a pretty great idea. There could be a manbag accessory that increases your inventory space by one row!

    A manbag? Wahahaha! "You found a manbag, you can carry more stuff, and you totally are not at all a Dandy Fop." If that offended anyone, I apologize, that was not my intent.
    Besides, isn't Dandy Fop a slang for a gay man anyway? This game already insults you. :)

    I've never had a game call my mother a radish before.

    @Desi Wait, so a game has called you a Troll-Whoring Sheep-bugger before? :)
    Seriously, I saw that and I was like. "WTF. That's a bit harsh."

    Thou art a pimple on the dungeon floor!

    Game needs more insults, though.

    According to the laundry list, next patch you'll be able to add your own :)

    Oh wow. :confused:

    I will make the monsters tell me how smart and handsome I am. =P

    It's gonna be good, especially if they implement all of it. There's currently spots for idle chatter (i.e, the monsters don't see you), search chatter (I don't know if monsters really do that?), the current insults, getting hit and dying. There's apparently also monster-specific insults, though the only example is blobbies burbling.

    +1 for manbags and #2 pencils. :)
