We're not sure what it is about bounty hunters that makes them cooler than cool, but there's no denying the appeal of a profession that characters like Boba Fett, John Marston, and Rick Deckard call their own.
Dominus is hoping to capture some of that badassery in a bottle via its bounty hunting system, and a new update on the game's official website has all the details. In a nutshell, players are able to place bounties on four of their enemies at a time, and the only other consideration is the amount of money you're willing to put toward your revenge.
Hunting a bounty involves accepting a contract via an NPC, and you'll be alerted as to your target's zone location if he's online. After you make the kill, you'll be paid on the spot, and any other players who accepted the same bounty contract will find it removed from their mission log. There's more, but you'll need to head to the Dominus website to read it.

Somehow I completely missed this game. It looks pretty badass.

If they can capture the 3-faction RvR from DAoC, I'm in.

This game is shaping up to be the next generation of DAOC(3 factions....rvr centric...great crafting.....even jet packs). I can hardly wait !

Game does look interesting, I could get into playing a Deckard sort of character. :)

Alright... I've been ignoring this game. Could really give two shits about it. But NOW it has my interest.
A bounty system that I didn't ever think I'd see again after NGE came out for SWG.
Throw in a skill system and player housing. And you can have my money.

Surely your target will let his friends kill him and take your money? Is there any death penalty beyond being looted (which obviously wouldn't happen if the death was collusion between the target and his friends)?

The game is Faction PvP. Your friends in your faction can't kill you, so they can't collect the reward.

@pixledriven : ah fair enough for some reason I was thinking it was open PvP like EVE, that makes sense then. Should make for some fun times!

This one sorta got lost in the shuffle for me as well. Looking forward to hearing more!

I rather like this idea! I'm not big on PVP 'cause it's usually a huge drag, but this would make it fun!
