Starglider Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 A mundane and believable backdrop makes the fantasy elements all the more impressive. This even holds for out-there settings like Planescape; the slums and slum dwellers felt authentic and grounded the wild and wonderful elements in reality.

Agiel Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Take into account whatever limitations of the engine Obsidian manages to create, whether they be AI or graphical in nature. A big part of why some of the crazier mods manage to work in a game like Skyrim is because it's a world where with sufficient points into pickpocket you can rob every single NPC in the world of their *clothes* with everyone none the wiser, or a giant can send a bear going, in the words of Alan Shepard, "For miles and miles and miles" in defiance of the laws of physics." Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
