Wanted: Dialogue Script Writer for a Quest

[Bluarchon]

Hi there. I'm in need of a script writer willing to write a few lines of dialogue for a quest mod I am making. The quest plot has already been written as well as the layout of the number of quests for the whole quest line including the draft of quest objectives. A portion of the dialogue has also already been started. The quest will only involve two characters. It would be nice if the writer can also meet / improve the current writing style from the material that has already been written. Here's a sample dialogue written by a friend @ScaryMonster. This kind of style is what I would like to maintain if possible:

 

 

 

Ah, that witch! How she haunts me! I suppose I should have expected old Hagraven-face to send another hapless adventurer blundering my way. She has this bizarre notion that I need to be saved. <Laughs> Saved! Priests need to be saved. Those like me, those blackened by time and the aftermath of man's fervent ego, we are the ones who see life as it truly is: a macabre; a ghastly masquerade spinning into the Void.

 

Note that this project is NOT on a strict deadline. I am working full time as a software designer and usually only have weekends to work on mods. :biggrin: I am very passionate on modding though so rest assured that I will not abandon this in any way. This mod will be the sequel to my first mod, Wrath of Nature: The path of the druid.

 

Thanks.

You might help us out with a bit from your treatment or a general idea what it is you want.

 

For example, if you wanted corny romance, I could probably help you out. I'm not very good with fiery speeches.

My apologies as I didn't want to post the story here earlier. I could also send you the quest plot with all the information as to how the characters unfold if you are interested. Anyway the dialogue sample I posted is a male dark elf that is supposed to be the focus of the quest. He's a bit cynical and witty the first time the player meets him. He slowly becomes deep and a bit depressed as the story progresses.

 

The dialogue from this dark elf is basically conversations with the player only. He will never converse with any other NPC. These conversations are mainly about the bitterness of the dark elf's life.

The other character is a female spirit which I could probably write myself if it is too much work.

If it's only two characters, I'm not really sure it would be interesting enough to need much in the way of help.

[Bluarchon]

I couldn't really write in that kind of style as I posted so I was looking for help. The character is also a possible follower so more lines need to be written. But anyway thanks for at least showing interest. :happy:

[gsmanners]

Followers have lots of lines, but it's just the usual observations about every little thing you come across. Unless he has multiple personalities, I don't see how it would be a problem to write.

[Bluarchon]

Yeah I suppose I can see him as being complex. I have the idea of how I want the character to sound like but I don't have the words. Maybe I'm just not confident enough to write it as I want it to come out great. But I guess you're right it's not a grand quest to be asking for any help. Thanks for your time.

[gsmanners]

No problemo. The key to writing is the same as anything else. Practice practice practice. Once you are confident, it'll probably only take a few hours, I imagine.
