As for the setting: I don't want hell. I want an earth-like landscape, because I can relate to that. Am I the only one who prefers the grassy fields of Rivellon over the hellish landscape of Nemesis
noo I miss em too. But when I think about <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />˛ i would realy enjoy it if it had both worlds. this would also than bring more difficult quest.
example: cant cross a barrier in rivellon riftrun to Nemisis walk a coullpe of steps right riftrun back after the barrier. (like in zelda (snes version))
and indeed tovi I mis the personal relation between chars sometime.
as for acts. they are huge but they are boundaries. While theire were no boundaries in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />. This realy limits the "gta freedom feeling" sure gta had acts but you could always drive back (add skills and stats to gta and you've got an rpg). The thing is that every object in the game world you dropp must be entered in your savegame where you dropped it. this probably expands your saved game alot. so i would suggest the rain function in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" />. every thing thats in the game world that is dropped will disappear when it rains unless it is stored in a barrel or inside.
BTW oes the sun ever go down in Nemisis?
But when I look at the 2 games as a whole they leave a very positive expression.
