Black and White/Fable - (name pending)

[RomanKing]

So i got this idea. You pick the race of your hero at the beginning right, then up to 8 players accomplish tasks. Every task has 2 sides. You can do the good side- example- Save a woman from an ogre. or the bad side - example- kill the ogre and the woman. The side you finish you will get 1 point towards good or evil.
The more good stuff to do your character will become more God-like and glow and have good abilities. If you go down the evil path your character with grow more demonic and glow red maybe grow horns and get evil abilities.
If you are good then ally with other good players only. If you are evil you have to ally with the evil players only.
If anyone can help with maybe a little storyline or would like to expand the idea, just post here. I am already working on the terrain!

New Development***

You can be a third Morality-- Nirvana/Neutral

This is the strongest morality but also the hardest to get. You have to evenly balance out your good and evil points to be equal. The more points you have but also equal the stronger level of Nirvana you will be. One downside is you cant ally anyone, even other nirvana players but you are stronger than good or evil. Level 1 Nirvana= 10 points-5good 5evil
But level 1 Nirvana Equals level 5 Evil and Level 4 good. Good is slightly stronger than evil becuase evil will get more experience by just killing everything.

1: Dont double post. Use edit

2: sounds like a good game. Ive never played Fable but I've heard a little about it.

3: Good luckl

 

[Eilhal]

what part of this exactly fable-like everything you've said is like Black and White.. but it sounds great

 

[WorpeX]

hmm...

How many maps do you make at one time? lol

Thanks, u ever play black and white? Well I'm also thinking of having maybe temples for good evil and neutral. Each temple gives you points but u can only pray at 1 once. Some temples like an evil one will give you 1 good point, but if u find another 1 thats harder to find you get more points when you pray there.

I personally think that all of the sides Good/Neutral/Evil should be balanced.

And what about ulimately evil acts?

For example:

This lady asks for your help in rescueing her kidnapped child, And you go about and rescue the child. But after you deliever the child you kill the mother and the child both.

I think you should get bonus evil points for tricking someone into believing your good when really your evil.

And vice-versa for Good

For neutral however, You would need something that would make it appear as neutral and not as a Good-Evil Person or a Evil-Good Person

Anyway....Good Luck on the map, Sounds good!

Good idea and thanks for the input. Im sure i can have the guy like the color grey or someting but look cool lol. Yeah more points for different acts of evil and good, i like it. At first im going to make it where theres a 3 way route the the quests but i will definitly consider adding that in!



The part that makes it kinda like fable is your character slowly becomes more demonic or good LOOKING. ANd that you only have a hero, ur not a god who has a town

Balancing them--nah, becuase then why would anyone ever want to be nirvana if its harder to become and the same strength?

 

[Deathbedeli]

Maybe when you reach a certain Allignment Threshold (Reach a certain evilness or goodness or neutralness)

You recieve a special allignment specific item that varys on the amount of good, evil, and neutral you have in you.

Examples:
Pure Evil (No good or neutral) - Demonic Horns
Pure Good (No evil or neutral) - Angelic Halo
Pure Neutral (No good or evil) - Dull Pointy Halo

Just examples...

Anyway as for the balancing thing I kinda ment like have Good and Evil be equal and have Neutral be a bit stronger (But Still thats unbalanced, Because everyone would be neutral, And the people who choose good and evil would be beaten by neutral for following their own path)

Not neccassarily. Becuase players could be all evil and level up faster and be stronger, you would have to be experienced to be neutral and know what your doing. Then that would up the maps re-playability.

Im also thinking maybe you cant see the other players and they can lie about their alignment so you ally them. or something along thoughs lines...

 

[Deathbedeli]

Eh just my 2 cents....

I never play a map with a Save/Load thing because I hate playing with people who have an advantage over me just because they play more, and/or played earlyer to me. Makes me feel kinda cheated.

Noooo not a save, just after you play a little bit you know how to balance better so you are moe experienced. Not loading a saved character....

So i got this idea. You pick the race of your hero at the beginning right, then up to 8 players accomplish tasks. Every task has 2 sides.

If you are good then ally with other good players only. If you are evil you have to ally with the evil players only.
If anyone can help with maybe a little storyline or would like to expand the idea, just post here. I am already working on the terrain!

Can I help?

 

[RomanKing]

Can I help?

Sure you can help! Lets see tell me what your good at. Im going to need some skins, maybe help with storylines with quests. And also maybe you can help with the triggering becuase the point system for good and evil IS going to be challenging. SO post what you good at haha

Ok, I'm not pro or anything. But I can definitely help with quests AND triggers.

But I would have to either download your map via email/msn messenger or you would need to explain the map in detail. Because I can't make quests without the map.

Of course. Once I have a descend amount of the map done I could explain things better and post it on here for you to try out some quests. So just keep an eye on this thread!

 

[TheTacoBellD]

Will do! Oh and are you going to post the map on here? How else am I supposed to help?

 

[Drazalon]

OMG DUDE u stolde my idea from my thread......

grrrr get ur own idea!!!

 

[TheTacoBellD]

OMG DUDE u stolde my idea from my thread......

grrrr get ur own idea!!!

Prove it <_< After all that says nothing about good and evil. NOTHING.

 

[RomanKing]

OMG DUDE u stolde my thread......

Umm idk what your talking about. You can help by giving me ideas on like maybe a main storyline or maybe some gameplay ideas? thats about all you can do right now.

AND WTF ur thread is nothing like this!?!
And even if you have a little bit of good evil ideas i have unique in depth gameplay ideas so dont even start with the U STOLE MY IDEA DURHRU
