Hadesuk23 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Hi folks. This is just a post to see if anyone who is oblivion obsessed also happens to have a Xanth obsession. We are planning on creating a xanth worldspace and would like to recruit like minded modders to put in there bits and peices. please PM me if you think this is something you would be interested in. Take care y'all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tchos Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I've read a lot of Xanth books, and the earlier books were a lot of fun light fluff, real popcorn fantasy. :) I'd reinstall Oblivion to play this, I think. My question is, how are you going to translate the tone of the series, which was transmitted through the textual descriptions, into non-textual medium like this? That's a problem I've seen with the cartoon adaptations of Terry Pratchett's books. They have the characters, and the setting, and the story, but all the humour and distinctive tone is missing, because it was all in the text.

bben46 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 To add some to Tchos question. How will you translate the puns from text to visual? Much of the Xanth humor is based on the overuse of puns and double meanings. It will be interesting to see how this is handled. I think I would start small, put some features from Xanth in a small mod to see how they work in Oblivion. Then build on that. Please keep the tongue in cheek humor. I'm looking forward to seeing it uploaded here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
