#Careful Encouragement...or Adaptive Security idk.

In another feedback involving a TV in the banner again, I was thinking and decided that possibly there could be a system in the game, not like an neural network or anything advanced but instead it'd go this way.

Let's say you keep getting caught over and over again, blindly rushing into the neighbor's house without planning anything. Obviously security in other houses are going to go up as news reports of Quentin breaking in are going to get out. I figure they'd go up already if Quentin is already sneaking in but not getting caught but I don't think the neighbors would just do nothing if they hear about a journalist breaking into a bakery, crime scene, museum, etc.

Perhaps this can be optional like the 'Friendly Neighbor' situation, I know some people struggle but i want this as it would encourage players to be sneaky and not brute force or else it'd get harder.

I would love this

It's way too easy to rush and brute force at the moment, this is a good idea

#

Imagine the Museum on the final day, you enter and he's dug out his old security system, placed beartraps, and changed the locks on doors so you'll have to get in another way...

all because you just keep bruteforcing the other neighbor houses

#

that's what i mean by old security system.

#

Wait a minute i just had a idea

#

Imagine a new area beneath the museum, inaccessable by normal means...but if the 'security level' is bumped high enough. Mr. Peterson will go inside and turn on the cameras in there, meaning Quentin will have to go inside and perhaps solve a puzzle to get the cameras off (or get something for a side quest)

#

it's just an idea

However, to go on my main idea, I have a way of executing this so it can be put into the game easily without it being too complex.

#

A secret 'Security Level' that starts off with Level 1. If your Adaptive Security setting is off, it will stay here (or another level of your choosing when you beat the game)

The more you get caught in quick succession or even taking actions that ai notice, like taking the fuse out of Mayor's security or feed Imbirthe more points this level will accumliate. Upon reaching enough points, the level will rise and new obstacles will show up perhaps with a short cutscene announcing its arrival (and as a warning.)

#

I imagine it goes all the way up to Level 5.

#

And no, since Mr. Peterson has his own system, you cannot use his cameras as your own. Only by using his big thing with the screens you can. (you know the one from HN and SN.)

it's not like it'd force itself to level 2 instantly, it'd just be a few points. However if the idea of required actions giving 'Security Level' points is bad then ditch that.

#

Ok so the levels

#

woah cool idea

Does the amount of points needed increase with each level?

#

Perhaps, I doubt people WANT to make their houses with traps everywhere...except for Mr. Peterson

# sinful rivet I like the news report idea

breaking news: Local Lunatic that somehow landed a job as a journalist continues his breaking and entering spree. For the safety of you and your loved ones please fortify your homes or else you will be next

Hey folks we have another boring news day raven brooks. Apperantly the mayor has been exposed as a cult leader by that weird journalist guy who keeps breaking into people's homes. We have tried to get questions from the mayor but he denies the allegations.

Raven Brooks news thing
The lunatic journalist has been at it again and he has now been seen setting a local bakery on fire. Luckily the flames were put out before someone seriously got hurt but the bakery is in shambles. We have tried to interview the journalist but all he would say was:
