Nudedragon Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Team of flying monkeys? Does that mean you fly around on a broomstick, Apollo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollodown Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 1) I don't have a broomstick. I have a boomstick. Let's just make that abundantly clear right off. 2) My flying monkeys are like John Cusack's employees in "High Fidelity". I hired them on to do a sporadic job of keeping my mod threads less...on fire...and then they just started doing cool stuff and WON'T GO AWAY.

TheObstinateNoviceSmith Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Just when I thought I was finally about to gt Skyrim out my system and b able to return to having a life... Apollo goes and does this. *sigh* Hahah, this does look great and I don't know how I feel about being teased with a sneak peak, but I can't wait to see this one.

sevencardz Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I knew you weren't dead Apollo. :) I just figure that when a developer says he's on vacation, HE IS ON VACATION. Expect replies to be sparse at best. I've also been pretty busy lately with IRL stuff, which so inconveniently leaves me with little modding time. That said, this worst flying monkey is reporting for duty to help out on the CWO forums and to troubleshoot what I am almost certain will be a regression testing nightmare - in the best way possible.Polo's got mad skillz, guys, this will be good. Might be good to put together a troubleshooting/testing guide for everyone's sanity while it's in BETA, assuming there will be a preliminary BETA release.Also, I second NoviceSmith's comment. I haven't been able to start a real playthrough of Skyrim for over half a year, but oddly, I'm not bothered by that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreenLion Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I might actually be interested in doing the CW quest once this rolls out. Last time it was pretty darn...bland. That and I'm still deciding who my character should support this time around. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollodown Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) @Sven my vacations are sporadic. Also, no beta. This thing's too big to do a closed beta like usual - I could be working on this thing for a thousand more hours and still not think it's done. Besides, I need my usual host of ill-advised user-lemmings to throw themselves at it so I can know how much stress it can take. I'm throwing constant stress at the thing and it keeps breaking in one way or another, but I'm running out of breaking points. Also I've just been testing in a CW vacuum, no pesky MQ stuff going on. Lordy I wonder what'll happen when Season Unending goes down. Probably nothing good. EDIT oh yeah and also nearly everything is controllable through console commands. So there are ways out if you get stuck(kind of). @TheGreenLion - Three times as many battles. Battles are hard(er - still working on that part). YOU CAN ACTUALLY LOSE(I cannot overstate how dumb bethesda was to not allow you to lose - in vanilla you can literally kill hundreds of your own guys and will always win every battle). Witty banter between the jarls as they play musical chairs. Executions. Dynamic questline. I hope you enjoyed this marketing pitch EDIT Also, if you're having trouble deciding, go with the Stormcloaks. Because Talos FTW.

TheGreenLion Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I enjoyed that marketing pitch™ Now if one does lose, does it prompt you to try again (as in reset the stage) or might there be an option....to keep certain Jarls (swaying their side/killing the only other option)? :blink: I keep trying to imagine how it will all look...but I find there's too much to think about at once. It ALL sounds good. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollodown Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 It's very confusing and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, but basically the dynamicization goes like this: CW really doesn't start till whiterun. Let's say I fight from the imperial side, so I'm on D. If I lose, Stormcloaks gain whiterun and fort greymoor. You will receive a letter by courier after a certain amount of time informing you that Falkreath is under attack, which starts the battle for falkreath. You fight in falkreath, and let's say you lose again. Time goes by, and another courier stops by, saying that the Commanding officer there has a special mission for you. You talk to him and he tells you the stormcloaks are outside, which starts the siege, on the defense. If you win the siege of markarth from defense, then you can ask tullius for new orders, and he'll tell you to go to falkreath, and do what rikke tells you. You go to falkreath and rikke tells you to take fort neugrad. If you win fort neugrad you immediately may go to falkreath and take it down(you also immediately get the quest). You win falkreath then you report to ulfric again.....ad infinitum ad infinitum. Basically, it's like volleyball. Each side goes on volleys till the other side gets a point.

matortheeternal Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 This looks fantastic. I'm looking forward to trying this out. When you said expanding the subclasses of Stormcloak/Imperial Soldiers, you aren't adding new armor to the game, right? Just want to check.
