The setting of American Gods as an MMO. Dunno what the plot might be, but damn in Gaiman's a genious, and it's a funky setting (at least, imo).

LOL! So fucking nice!!!! I always thought they should have come out with a "Hot said:
Amen. Double posting is completely acceptable when it comes to shit like Twilight even remotely trying to cross the line.geon106 said:Sorry to double post but i really do agree with youawesomebillfromdawsonville said:
I think a Storm of Iron-style game might be kinda sweet. If not that then Soul Drinkers Omnibus, sounds kinda cool to be a renegade chapter, not traitor or loyalist chapter for once. Either would maybe be for RPG-FPS stylish, or you could play the SoI one in a RTS mode.

Wait's there's actually a game coming out? I thought that was prank article I read months ago... thanks for the warning gotta get a released date so I can have my crap filter on by then.
Great minds and all that. Eisenhorn or someone similar could work in an environment like quite well, ravenor probably not as much... I mean who wants to control a strange metal wedge.Sonicron said:God damn! 10 posts in and already I find my thoughts mirrored.
Fine, while we're on the subject: I think something like the Eisenhorn novels made into a game would work particularly well as a KotOR-like RPG. Most of the time an Inquisitor is (in my opinion) essentially a sort of investigator who has to infiltrate every kind of social circle there is in order to get the right answers, with some minor scuffles along the way and a bombastic epic battle at the end of a case. Fits quite well with KotOR in style, right down to the party of people you drag around with you, seeing how Inquisitors tend to have a team of agents with different specialties working for them.
Also moral choice could work quite well, are you puritan and just fighting of heretics and Xenos or a bit radical using the power of the warp to your advantage... or just somewhere boring in the middle.
That game is awesome, worst voice acting ever notwithstanding.geon106 said:howabout the Dictionary?
In the form of a FPS game? It'll be like Typing of the Dead
Preferbly made by Oxford Games
Works for me. A mix of adventure game and shooting gameplay would make a good game about the Inquisition.Sonicron said:God damn! 10 posts in and already I find my thoughts mirrored.Rusman said:

And if it had quicktime events? Press X to insert excruciator where the sun don't shine!
Perhaps even RPG style conversations and customisation.
Ravenor could work, but only before he got burnt.Rusman said:Great minds and all that. Eisenhorn or someone similar could work in an environment like quite well, ravenor probably not as much...

And I agree about the moral choice system, but only if the consequences of your choices have actual impact on the gameplay. If I start using daemonhosts and the like to beat my opponents I don't just want people who know about it to shun me, I want - nay, demand - half the Ordo Hereticus on my Radical ass.
If it ever gets made, though, I know at least one person who'll crucify it on sight or possibly smother it to death with his silly hat.
Make that a 'DEFINITELY' on the rpg style conversations and customizable equipment. That's essentially my point: As an Inquisitor you have to rely on your charisma (or your abilities to intimidate, if you're a hardass) and diplomatic skills most of the time, and I don't really see any other way of doing that if not as an rpg.AmrasCalmacil said:
Indeed, the ability to choose whether to, to vaugely quote Amberley Vail, run around like a grox in a ceramics emporium or actually get to the enemies of the Imperium without them knowing you're coming, would be essential.Sonicron said:
Well Ravenor would just be part of your team if you play as Eisenhorn then. Yeah there'd have to be important changes, I think its Ordos Malleus you mean though, it'd be worth it just to punch Heldane in his smug wolf/bear/horse face.Sonicron said:Ravenor could work, but only before he got burnt.Rusman said:

Hmm said person would have to get over it. Besides half the time I disagree with him, doesn't mean he's not funny.
