   I'll put up an Idea - throw replies in my face, please!
  Im going to try and start a running , amm, thread? I'll write and idea, and i'm just looking for people to add to and build on that idea, and i'll come back every now and again to add in my own new stuff.If you like what goes on perhaps we can get together a team for brain-storming ideas or something, not thought about it a lot so far.Here goes:You are Karl-Doone. A wiry but reasonably strong warrior. Capable of using a Sword or Bow and not too bad with Blunt weapons, such as Axes. Around 6 ft tall with roughly cut brown hair. Wearing a dark green tunic covered with a muddy brown jacket, leather boots and gauntlets. Reserved and silently arrogant. Fluent in Elvish and Dark-Elvish, and knowledgable in many other cultures.So heres some random questions;Does Karl prefer to sleep rough at an Inn and keep a low profile, or check into the most expensive hotel at each city to keep up appearances with the nobility?Does he respect and welcome the help of others, whilst being perfectly capable of handling himself? Or Does he prefer to go it alone?Does he drink Mead or Wine?Destruction or Regenerative Magic?On a quest from a higher power, be it a King or Divine Entity? Or on his own personal mission?Basically just throw anything down, all ideas welcome no matter how ridiculous, as long as they roughly go along the lines of whats there so far.Thanks.   
Quote:Original post by irish18Does Karl prefer to sleep rough at an Inn and keep a low profile, or check into the most expensive hotel at each city to keep up appearances with the nobility?Karl prefers to sleep outside, under the stars. That's why his jacket is so muddy.Quote:Does he respect and welcome the help of others, whilst being perfectly capable of handling himself? Or Does he prefer to go it alone?Karl welcomes the help of others, but because of his unique personal habits that help rarely approaches, or stays long.Quote:Does he drink Mead or Wine?No. As a Mormon, intoxicating beverages are denied to Karl.Quote:Destruction or Regenerative Magic?Degenerative magic. It's not real pretty.Quote:On a quest from a higher power, be it a King or Divine Entity? Or on his own personal mission?Hellooo? Mormon!HTH   ;  Karl spends a month in weapons schooling and learns that axes aren't supposed to be blunt.   ;  Karl punched Jeff.   ;  Karl ponders why GDNet promised cake on it's birthday when it turned out to be a lie.   ;Quote:Original post by capn_midnightKarl spends a month in weapons schooling and learns that axes aren't supposed to be blunt.Well said actually, why do they come under 'Blunt' weapons in the Elder Scrolls games? Bethesda are clearly a bit slow.;Quote:Original post by irish18Quote:Original post by capn_midnightKarl spends a month in weapons schooling and learns that axes aren't supposed to be blunt.Well said actually, why do they come under 'Blunt' weapons in the Elder Scrolls games? Bethesda are clearly a bit slow.Most likely because they are used more like a blunt weapon such as a club then like a bladed weapon such as a sword. The balance is also a lot more clublike then sword like.   ;Quote:Original post by tstrimpQuote:Original post by irish18Quote:Original post by capn_midnightKarl spends a month in weapons schooling and learns that axes aren't supposed to be blunt.Well said actually, why do they come under 'Blunt' weapons in the Elder Scrolls games?

And he's ok.   ;Quote:Original post by irish18Does Karl prefer to sleep rough at an Inn and keep a low profile, or check into the most expensive hotel at each city to keep up appearances with the nobility?Most expensive obviously, and he directly orders ten hookers to his room. Last sunday, he collapsed and almost OD'ed naked in the public lounge of the Astoria's Inn, while sexually harassing a 70 year old noble man, so he's not welcome there anymore. He will probably send Igor to "talk" to the manager, though.Quote:Original post by irish18Does he respect and welcome the help of others, whilst being perfectly capable of handling himself? Or Does he prefer to go it alone?There's always Vladimir and Sergei who help him with certain complicated "jobs".Quote:Original post by irish18Does he drink Mead or Wine?Vodka.Quote:Original post by irish18Destruction or Regenerative Magic?Guess.Quote:Original post by irish18On a quest from a higher power, be it a King or Divine Entity? Or on his own personal mission?Depends on who owes him money.I think you should develop a game that crosses Oblivion with GTA.
