Llyranor Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 (edited) With all these talks about the 3 JBs in previews and such, why doesn't Mike Thornjerk actually have those initials? I mean, MT? That's as generic as it gets! It's not like it would have been complicated. Here's a gazillion examples: Josh Bawyer, Jorian Butt, James Bauer. This thing practically writes itself. Honestly, Obsidian. Unlimited ammo? Forcing dual-wielding UZIs? Not allowing dual-wielding robots dual-wielding rocket launchers? Forcing a male character? Forcing stupid initials like MT? What next? Forced party members? No actual ending? LOL j/k I know you wouldn't stoop that low. PS. I'm not kidding about changing the name to Jorian Butt.

Morgoth Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Playing a female agent could be amusing, but no, they're not made for that. Unless Obs goes for total NOLF goofyness, which wouldn't make for a good RPG. Jorian Butt huh? I think Jorian the Hungarian wouldn't really like that don't you think? Rain makes everything better.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I wouldn't mind Jack Black as the main character. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pidesco Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I think you should elaborate Morgoth, as there is no rule stating that NOLF style campiness doesn't make a good RPG.

Humodour Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Not to derail the thread Morgoth, but generally the person making dubious claims has the burden of proof (i.e. you). I mean your statement is already rather nonsensical because we clearly saw character development in NOLF1, but not only that, character development does not an RPG make. Look at the persistent undercurrents of moral greyness in NOLF1 for another well-done RPG aspect of NOLF - if you actually bothered to stop and listen to people or read what you saw, you really started to get the feeling that the bad guys weren't at all black and white, they were real people with families and dreams. And you were killing them because they got in your way. Now the game didn't really push that theme the way, say, Deus Ex 1 did, but it was certainly there and could easily have been developed further (offering more diplomatic or non-lethal options, and alternate pathways for example). Moreover, I can name a bunch of campy/silly RPGs: Torment, Fallout, Anachronox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've no idea what you're trying to get at. Peace. Worst bickering ever. Is there a cheat code in the game to change MT's name to Joseph Bulock? Seriously, Thorton with a missing 'n' in the middle has to be an undercover name, anagram or something. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.
