An event will occur that will give you the option of doing so.How can I choose between the dungeon and the oubliette?
How does that even come up in conversation?I had a (non-French-speaking) friend who insisted it was called the "ougliette" and told me I was wrong when I explained its roots in "oublier". Now whenever I read the word I remember him saying "ougliette" all serious-like and thinking he was being sophisticated. :-/
"An oubliette (from the French oubliette, literally "forgotten place") was a form of dungeon which was accessible only from a hatch in a high ceiling. The word comes from the same root as the French oublier, "to forget", as it was used for those prisoners the captors wished to forget."
I guess it's just another type of a dungeon.
Unless you mean in game terms...in which case it's the modifiers of the person.
Honestly, I wish I could openly choose where to send my prisoners. I hate holding on to a prisoner until he can raise the money to pay off his ransom, only to have him kick the bucket because he couldn't handle a year of the regular dungeon. Would love the option to keep someone as a hostage indefinitely by auto-sending them into house arrest, rather than hanging on to a person of value and hope they complain about their conditions before they die.
I agree. I lose a significant number of POWs due to poor prison conditions, and that's ransom money I'll never see.
On the other hand, some vassals act like they are Sith Lords, and they need to just go to oubliette instantly and stay there until they die. They are too dangerous to ever be let in house arrest or regular prison.
I think you still can free him, which isn't what oubliette are for...
