Why not make a CRPG that doesn't require the world being saved?

That used too happen, kinda. NPCs used to solve quests and close Oblivion gates on their own. It had to be fixed, because it was preventing the player from doing some things. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't have a problem with that but if you are going to make a CRPG make the story of the CRPG about the character being played. If the NPCs have their own lives doing things, solving their own quests that is good, just as long the PC's story is the focus.

I just like to go through a normal adventure in which the world does not need saving. Hell, it would be even more nice if there wasn't a big bad guy to beat on in the end. Something different for a change.

I just see the whole game of Oblivion as pointless. Hell, Bethesda even made leveling pointless, and in some cases a detriment.

Not always. You can't strike out on foul balls.

To use the whole Baseball analogy, KotOR 2 was a foul ball, NWN 2 is a single (possibly a double), and well we will see with their third game. No strikes, technically, yet.

The problem stems that every CRPG usually ends up being about saving the world or civilization as we know it and only the PC can do it. Why don't we just ditch saving the world idea altogether and just have a normal adventuring CRPG. Sure there maybe bad guys to fight but they aren't threatening the world. Threatening a shipping, or seeking to raid a few towns maybe, but not threatening the world. You know, something low key. Something that you aren't the chosen one while at the same time there isn't a need for a chosen one. Just everyday people staving off cruelty, evil, and whatnot that happens to come across their everyday lives.

Good, because that really annoyed the hell out of me in the Oblivion main quest. I hope Bethesda does not do that again. It made playing the game pretty much pointless.

Okay, if that is what you rally want.

What I mean, is it the character who saves the day, central to the story, or is it some smoe that steps in at the last minute and does the work for you.

That is why you get a girlfriend who is a gamer. THEY DO EXIST!

Um... Uh... Thanks for the offer but I look for such things from the female gender.

Or with a shocky monkey.

HA!

That is my problem to, though more of a man-whale than a man-goblin. Working hard to fix that but it is very hard going.

Does this Mod actually let the player character have an impact on its story unlike the main quest of Oblivion?

Wow, I am actually agreeing with you, Shadowstrider. Well said.

If they come at you with a knife let her get away. Still, after 14 years if she came back it would be like she never left.

He looks better for it.

I have 3 resolutions. 1. Be under 200 pounds by June. 2. By the end of the year I shall have a novel written (being published is a different matter). 3. Learn how to use a sword or rapier.

I didn't like the werewolf.

Fat pay checks?!?!?! Where's mine damn it!

Clearly, you like accusing people of stuff. Isn't metadigital a moderator of this bulletin board and the behavior of moderators might reflect on Obsidian as a company? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No.

Unless they make final death really final. No respawning.

I objected to it.
