slaineify Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Wow this is getting way more interest that I thought it would so I made a page in the modding talk section, please post any more suggestions or advice there. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corbecay Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Well, I think those who like Pratchett might want to see things through the eyes of the characters or the eyes of someone who lived in that world, it gives the more personal experience. Films are Ok, like Going Postal, but interacting with it is much more appealing. If done right, this could be a massive, and amazing mod. There is almost limitless possibility with it, with industrial technology, myths, legends, events, places, creatures, etc. Ank-Morpork is the centre of the Disc politically, as you can find... anything there. And it is incredibly varied in architecture, atmosphere and all that other good immersive stuff. It's understandable really from a fan perspective for people to want to get involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's understandable really from a fan perspective for people to want to get involved Beyond just the fans, I think there is an incredible amount of material that can be used to create a lot of fun. There is an Assassins guild to go from, with a unique personality of its own. Perhaps the Cunning Artificers for those who enjoy making things. Dwarves survive here and thrive. Dwarven Bread to be used as a mele and range weapon. Join the city watch and help defeat organized crime (outside of allowed guilds) (such as certain trolls in suits) Feeling sick? The Free Hospital can cure you. There seems to be a stunning lack of doctors of any sort and over the counter medicine shouldn't be your only route. An Igor Companion, who performs 1st Aid on you during and after battle. The works of Bloddy Stupid Johnson. Small swamp dragons (companions as long as they don't blow up) New spells from Unseen University. Let's make this happen :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corbecay Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 If nothing else gets made, at least made Sgt Detritus with his Peacemaker as a companion. I ask no more :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask no more :P That would be awesome. Angua would be easier since they already have werewolves. But how would anyone make Nobby Nobbs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMcNemo Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Like I said, I don't know the stories very well, I only know Rincewind and Two-Flower, and the Luggage. Ankh-Morpork I don't think even existed in the first book. Therefore, most of what you're describing is going clear over my head. BUT, having a nice big proper city to explore would be a good thing, which is why I'm in favor of this. All I'm asking is to allow for folks who *don't* know the books to be able to have just as much ability to enjoy the mod. Who knows; if I like the mod, I may pick up the books again. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaineify Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 But how would anyone make Nobby Nobbs... I was going to have an unplayable armor set like Jason bright in new vegas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corbecay Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) If it has Rincewind, in the first, Ank-Morpork was there too. UU is more or less in it's centre Angua would be different than werewolves of this game though, she's a proper werewolf that turns into a full wolf. But we have models for that anyway. Transformation might be a bit iffy. I think we should probably set down a list of what we'd want first. Characters are as important as the locations. Those who haven't read the books don't need to in order to enjoy it. If all goes well, they'll be experiencing the same world, same characters, but through a different format. I think what really makes these so appealing as books is really the characters. Carrot Stronginthearm for example. No words can describe the subtle awesome in him.

slaineify Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I thought UU was of the the southwest a little, and Isn't Carrots name Ironfounderson, how does lycanthropy work in skyrim, I've never joined the companions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone could start small? Shrink the Dragons to dog size and enable them as companions? (swamp dragons) I wouldn't mind having a swarm of feagles as a companion/companions. Shall we try one companion first before starting anything major? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
