Obviously for role playing purposes, but I think it would be great having some type of shelter, being the weather can get crazy in this game!

Having the blizzard muffled while inside the tent would be awesome, along with being able to see whats going on with a slight opening in the tent.
and/or being able to sort armor, also would be a GREAT time to read books and such.. having the option for it being candle lit etc.. im not sure of its properties if a bear or monster came across it..

I would LOVE to see it though!
