Shadowstrider Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 I like leveling. I like phat lewt. I don't care much about ninjas. Thank you. I believe you've made a typo miss Di. Allow me to correct it for you. "I don't care much about ninjas." Undoubtedly should've read: "Ninjas are totally sweet, and if they are not included in Project X, I'll like totally flip out, and kill like 85 people." Have a nice day, and you're welcome.

Magena Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 "...., and kill like 85 people." isn't that the point of these games though???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowstrider Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 isn't that the point of these games though???? Undoubtedly, but I believe in the typo, Miss Di is refering to real-life murder. Do you want the blood of those 85 people on your head? I know I wouldn't push it... just put the ninjas in, save a puppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atreides Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 I'm sure Di also meant to add There should be an ancient katana discovered by someone that gives the person that wields it super mad ninja skills, but the person notices that (s)he loses control a bit more each time and (s)he develops a taste for sushi. Spreading beauty with my katana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agris Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 I'd like a single player everquest. lots of levels, lots of loot, lots of classes, lots of lots. I'm just greedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diogo Ribeiro Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 ^BG2 or NWN+HoTU seem to fit that bill, somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Di Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 @agris: Morrowind is single-player Everquest. Seriously. I had great fun with a world of my own, and no foul-mouthed 10 year-old griefers to contend with! If you haven't tried Morrowind, you should.

Diogo Ribeiro Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Yup, Morrowind also fits right in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairchucker Posted February 16, 2004 Author Share Posted February 16, 2004 Morrowind is not cool. Not cool at all. Do not speak its name in my thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roshan Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 ive never played morrowind. i only like isometric perspective games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaberwocki Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 morrowind was cool until I learned hoe to hit lvl 300 in 3 days no lies. YOu just gotta know what bugs to exploit. (oh yeah this was on xbox) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agris Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 ~Di, Ya, I played MW. Powergamed the hell out of it and enjoyed it a lot. There was a modder back in the day named Lady Di, I believe. I just retired from a Time (the end game up to a week ago) guild in EQ, and I can't help but think of games in those terms. While playing Gothic1/2, I would run around leveling much in the way we would PL characters in Everquest. And to derail this thread - was anyone else disapointed that loot didn't seem as "special" in ToEE as it did in BG 1 and 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roshan Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 loot didnt seem special in iwd2 either. most of the stuff was generic and boring. you never found anything that was powerful, everything was just average at the time that you found it. due to the lack of rewards and loot, combat in iwd2 became tedious, unfun, unrewarding and compeltely boring and pointless.

HiddenAssassin Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 o.k firstly seppaku is not done by samurais or ninjas as it is chinese you are thinking of hare kari (slightly differant) IMHO a game should be either european or asian not both as it's unbelievable and stuff. It'd be cool barehanded fighters from japan-karate and judo, from korea twae kwon doe (against mounted opponents), from china kung fu (also includes weapons and has like 12 differant sub classes). With weapons you have samurais and ninjas who also use martail arts. Theres Mongols by the way the mongols did take big cities, they sorta took constantinople (the biggest city of the time and is now instanbul). There also could be the ancestors of the cossacks if you want to stretch it for even more horsemen. There are many othes to boot. Magic could be brought in with differant forms; ninjitsu, chi (mainly defense magic) horse magic, meditational magic etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roshan Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 its hara kiri not hare kiri. i think youre mixing up hara kiri with hare krishna!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iolo Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 o.k firstly seppaku is not done by samurais or ninjas as it is chinese you are thinking of hare kari (slightly differant) Seppuku is Japanese. It's the formal term for hara-kiri. Seppuku, (Sape-puu-kuu) the Japanese formal language term for ritual suicide (Hara-kiri (Har-rah-kee-ree) is the common language term.), was an intregal aspect of feudal Japan (1192-1868). It developed as an integral part of the code of bushido and the discipline of the samurai warrior class. http://victorian.fortunecity.com/duchamp/410/seppuku.html Also, many of us got our knowledge of what it was from the movie Ronin (which is a Japanese word) with Robert De Niro where one of the characters on the movie gave an example of how the masterless Samurai committed Seppuku because of dishonor.

Shadowstrider Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 All my knowledge of samurai, and ninja comes from TEH INTERWEB!! Actually, from my eastern studies course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roshan Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 why do people glamorize samurais so much? in reality they were just feudal armies who served the japanese feudal lords as their soldiers and guards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Di Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 @agris: Ah, I too enjoyed Morrowind... for the first 100 hours or so. :D Eventually I got bored wandering the beautiful world I had saved with my by-then-uber Tree Elf. I realized that the thrill of merely questing for questing's sake, exploring for exploring's sake, didn't last forever. I got so very tired of traveling, traveling, traveling. Take Strider to seaport, take seaport to city with mage teleport, take teleport to city closer to Strider that goes to city you need to visit to talk to someone who will no doubt send you halfway around the continent once more to pick a mushroom... But it was indeed a world of my own. I don't regret a minute I spent in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do people glamorize the mafia, or medieval knights, or ancient Egypt, or Rome? Who knows? Its whats fantasy is all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightblade Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Also, many of us got our knowledge of what it was from the movie Ronin (which is a Japanese word) with Robert De Niro where one of the characters on the movie gave an example of how the masterless Samurai committed Seppuku because of dishonor. The story about the 47 ronin is for romantics. Go see Seppuku instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
