Nick Cave wrote a sequel to Gladiator and it sounds like the best RPG ever!

[theartknife]

So apparently Russell Crowe asked Nick Cave to write a sequel to Gladiator. The Cave man did as he was asked and in dealing with the fact that Rusty died in the the first film, came up with a voyage through the underworld, encountering Gods, monsters and every human conflict ever.... He wanted to call it Christ Killer! Unsurprisingly it never got made, but i can't help feeling like there's scope for an amazing video game here.

So, he [Maximus] goes down to purgatory and is sent down by the gods, who are dying in heaven because there's this one god, there's this Christ character, down on Earth who is gaining popularity and so the many gods are dying so they send Gladiator back to kill Christ and all his followers. This was already getting? I wanted to call it Christ Killer, and in the end you find out that the main guy was his son, so he has to kill his son and he's tricked by the gods and all of this sort of stuff. So it ends with, he becomes this eternal warrior and it ends with this 20-minute war scene which follows all the wars in history, right up to Vietnam and all that sort of stuff and it was wild.

To be honest it sounds like he wasn't even trying.

That sounds like something I would think up in 5th grade
