New Mini-Game

[Exoclyps]

I have been thinking back and forth. And I believe I read some blog long ago about some other people having the same thoughts. In a lot of RPG games you're able to play some mini-games. Be it a card game or some dice game.

 

Being fully aware of the limit the game have, I know it might be impossible to pull something like this off. Although the game does already have 2 mini-games in it so to say. So making a 3rd, yet possibly impossible, also possibly possible I thought.

 

What kind of game I was keeping in mind I suppose is a little depending on what you can do. But the basics I though could be that in the different Inns you could perhaps play some game with the owner (not necessary with the owner thou, but trough the owner if you get my thoughts here). Then it could be some simple card game or dice game, that could occupy an hour here and there ending up with some reward if you say manage to beat 15 inn owners or something.

 

Perhaps a to difficult talks to dig into, and not really a like the mods we've seen so far. But if possibly made, I for sure would download and enjoy it.

Edit: And as I was about to leave an inn that I was it. I was faced upon this. Although not able to take part :(

I support this idea! Mini games are fun.

You speak of two existing mini games, i take that one is lock pickicing, but i wouldn't know which is the other.

The "Speechcraft Mini-Game" is usually refereed to as a Mini-Game when I've read about it. So put in that category.

Oh yeah, you're right.

 

If i remember corectlly there is a mod that adds collectable (might be even playable) cards to the game. Worth a try.

It would be easier to create a small game/ flipping cards with a strong calculation system then to create a new menumode.

A menumode uses a totally different structure and I wonder if it's even possible to add a new one as it seems pretty hard-coded.

If you want a card-game you'd have to find someone with skills that loves them :p.

 

To increase the chance it'll be created. Imagine a very simple card game as the more complicated it gets..the less likely someone takes the time to do it.

A fun thing could be to 'simulate' a mini-game. meaning that there'll be only 1 cell like the one shown at above and that you can activate it at a number of inns

The NPCs taking a seat could be different, but the thing is that it'll be more compatible (if vanilla npcs would be used instead) or just the fact you don't have to adjust the 30+ inns (and those are just the places where you can sleep.)

There's a dice game in the Verona House Bloodlines quest.

There is a very very simple dice game in The Cave of Wishcraft

 

That one is run completely in the dialog engine.
