Who here has ever played the game Baldur's Gate?
I would like to make something that would work in the same way.
*A "quest" style gameplay (one large objective loaded with smaller missions)
*Have a public rating, which would determine your side (ex. Rating of.. 10=west, 5=police, 0=civilian, -5=resistance, -10=east)(also have perhaps a selectable starting side, if not it would be 0 - civilian)
*your side determines actions you can use (stealing things if you're east,west will have lower priced items or something, different mission choices based on side)
*Need to purchase weapons/items (start with nothing,you can sell items)
*Unit type (would aslo give different kinds of actions, ex. covert ops can have a stealth option(hiding or something) and abilities)
*Form a party over time (group of characters, all different types, findable in specific places on the map(not known by player, of course))
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
-----------------------------
*small, randomized attacks by neutral side while not in towns
*Can buy services (additional training, medicinal treatment, rest(lodging), etc.)
(will add to this list as i think of things)
This will obviously take lots of really good scripting and editing skills (anyone interested?)
also, post any thoughts, ideas, comments, etc
THANKS
EDIT: hmm... this may work better if it were an addon rather than a heavily scripted mission... oh well. anyway i guess i'll leave that up to what everyone else thinks.. assuming my idea is possible, which i think it is, and people would want to do it...
