walkerguy Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Thorton's adventures are in the vein of such renowned badasses as James Bond, Jack Bauer, and Jason Bourne. Twitter | @Insevin

GreasyDogMeat Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 (edited) I totally want to shock people with electrical wire, jab eyes with pencils and shoot people in the leg... just because. So I'm voting Bauer. Even better, Obsidian should hire Sean Conner, Matt Damon & Kiefer Sutherland to do three choosable voices for the PC. That would make everyone happy! ... and blow the entire budget on voice actors. Edited March 14, 2008 by GreasyDogMeat
Pop Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 (edited) Sounds like story-wise, it's going Bourne. Besides, I like the odds associated with Bourne movies. 24 would make a terrible RPG, raising ridiculous stakes to ever more ridiculous heights until the plot is completely useless. And Bond is outdated. Edited March 14, 2008 by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

SteveThaiBinh Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 I have never seen 24, so can't comment on Mr. Bauer. Between Bond and Bourne, Bourne definitely, but the Bourne of the first movie please - no killing off the romanctic interest simply because the writers can't handle grown-up stories. R.I.P.

mkreku Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 I really like the Bourne movies (yes, even the second one, despite them killing off Franka Potente in it) so I'm hoping for a touch of Bourne in this one.

walkerguy Posted March 15, 2008 Author Posted March 15, 2008 What is it with the initials JB and action?! I noted in the poll the fact that all 3 names had J but didnt think about the last names! JB! All 3 of them! Aaaack! Twitter | @Insevin
Pop Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 And Bond is outdated. You mean awesome. No, I mean outdated. Even the Broccolis implicitly acknowledged this by retooling the franchise in a way that, like it or not, was heavily indebted to the fantasy-averse Bourne franchise. When I say "Bond" I mean "invisible cars, suitcase helipacks, laser watches, volcano hideouts and martinis". All of that, while still retaining some charm, is outdated, and would ill fit into a halfway-serious real world RPG. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
sharkz Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 Considering I find the Bourne movies boring and can hardly bring myself to sit through them I'd say James Bond.
Leferd Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 Considering I find the Bourne movies boring and can hardly bring myself to sit through them I'd say James Bond.

Kelverin Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 James Bond of the novels, since he has not really been portrayed yet. Hopefully the game will include some good torture sequences. J1 Visa Southern California Cleaning
Gorgon Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) Bond is all style and not enough realism, that was just great for the 70s and 80s, not so much anymore. Bourne, well the new one, not the one starring Richard Chamberlain was excellent, although the whole brainwashing thing got kinda old, not much material there for serializing unless you start off in another direction. Bauer was great for a TV show but it's great weakness is the plot which is usually everywhere and nowhere at once, that just gets to be really annoying after a while. For secret agent type I hope they find something more original and less generic. Edited March 15, 2008 by Gorgon Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
