As far as help goes, I don't think it would be a good idea to collaborate with anyone on the mod I'm working on, because I'm going for speed, and I don't think anyone would want to volunteer for such a pace. I'd encourage you to try this same kind of challenge yourself, though. More mods is always better. :)Tchoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920669888854572132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750008576069337451.post-34226450639436200822011-07-30T11:19:16.910-07:002011-07-30T11:19:16.910-07:00Hi, I found your blog through your posts in the Bi...Hi, I found your blog through your posts in the Bioware Social, great blog, just the things I like I think Im going to read everything all the way through Morrowind as Ive been interested in starting a playthrough (loved Fallout 3/NV but kinda meh to Oblivion), anyway thanks for this great blog, if you ever want help for a module give me a shout in the BSN (though Im a n00b so, maybe no).pizzapicante27noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750008576069337451.post-36244910785684708112011-07-29T20:00:37.565-07:002011-07-29T20:00:37.565-07:00To be honest, Black Prophecy's controls and we...To be honest, Black Prophecy's controls and weapon feel weren't as satisfying as single-player space games like Freespace 2 or Darkstar One, and there seems to be quite a bit of grinding to advance to more systems and unique quests, and that's why I haven't played for a long while. I'd like to try Evochron: Mercenary at some point.<br /><br />I haven't played any of the Final Fantasy games, so I can't say how it compares to DAO. But I do know FF is turn-based, and DAO is realtime with pause, so the way I play is to position my party, give them all tasks, and let them do them, manually setting new tasks on specific characters as needed. <br /><br />The questline in DAO is fairly freeform in that once you get to the first town, the world map is opened up and you can visit any of the four main quest hubs in any order you like, opening up additional side quest hubs as you go, and there are at least 2 ways of dealing with the overall "problem" to solve in each of those locations. The side quests are optional, but I play for the quests, and there are some fun character-based dialogues and story elements that you can go through depending on who you pick for your party and how you treat them, and what kind of social skills you've built up.<br /><br />Anyway, yes, these pages will be here in that future time that you might try it out. :)Tchoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920669888854572132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750008576069337451.post-66550339419366053642011-07-29T19:45:26.954-07:002011-07-29T19:45:26.954-07:00So you'd relate it to like in Final Fantasy wh...So you'd relate it to like in Final Fantasy where I control a whole party? I recall some PS2 game with LOTR theme that had something like that too. But all of those games are on "rails", no real decisions to be made. I read little on Dragon Age and always stop reading when it seems I might read too much. But the impression I get is that your decisions do weave a story, even though with certain limitations. <br /><br />I STILL haven't been through that project of mine to play Oblivion without the portals. I hated them. I never finished the game, but I recall having a lot of fun exploring and raiding bandits, or just visiting some forgotten village. So... it's on the list.<br /><br />Oh yes I recall you commented on that entry about the -other- list. I envy you, horribly. I couldn't play Black Prophecy, but I love the feel of being in space. I just can't drive and shoot.<br /><br />I am a horrible off topic person... well, I have way too many games right now, but I know I can come here once I pick up Dragon Age and just look for the tags :)Brazokiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00979668396645298984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750008576069337451.post-39582875003264748902011-07-28T20:44:06.108-07:002011-07-28T20:44:06.108-07:00Well, I know you like WoW and other MMOs, so I wou...Well, I know you like WoW and other MMOs, so I would relate the gameplay of Dragon Age to you as a slightly smaller WoW party experience, except you can control the entire party (or set the party tactics to handle the other members for you). And of course conversation goes beyond the "accept quest" button.<br /><br />Yes, I do know of Nehrim, and I have it saved for future play. It seems like it might be an improvement on the Oblivion experience, with its changes to the gameplay to an XP system. I don't know anything about the new story or setting aside from what I saw in the trailers, but I expect to give it a try at some point.<br /><br />I'm watching your new blog already. ^_^ I even commented on one of your posts there, too, the "Long list of games". I haven't read those LotRO posts yet, though.Tchoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920669888854572132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750008576069337451.post-67143227627154172712011-07-28T20:21:13.602-07:002011-07-28T20:21:13.602-07:00Hey there!

Will try to only get it after I actually finish the ones I have at home.<br /><br />Wanted to know if you heard/played this mod for Oblivion: http://www.moddb.com/mods/nehrim-at-fates-edge I haven't yet, it is on my list of so many things to play. Sounds interesting, so the link is there if you wanna check before me. <br /><br />I also changed my little blog and will erase the old one. It's this one now: http://brazokie.blogspot.com/Brazokiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00979668396645298984noreply@blogger.com
