Re: The Name of the Wind
Yepp just lacks a wizard with some knowledge of Faerun to start working on its development really :p

Re: The Name of the Wind
It takes alot for me to pick up books from author's i don't know. but if you recommend it, I certainly will test the first book.
Ilrahil, great ideas man lol! How awesome would it be to go to Myth Drannor and quest to be part of the Mythal? Or to somehow burglar your way into the Vault of the Ages only to find the Shrinshee. Beat or outwit her and walk away with one gift from a list of fun artifacts.
Maybe run into Drizzt and his gang. Bring your own bigger gang.
Honestly, I'd code if I knew how.
Oh well.

Anyone who wants to step up
Actually, there's a thread in the Suggestion Box about player created content for the game. If it actually gets some traction, this would be a cool area to expand on using it.

Re: The Name of the Wind
There used to be the concept of the madwort in genesis (I think that's the right name.)
Back after Necro's got nerfed to all holy hell and most of the guild quit, I offered multiple times to step up and be the said madwort for the guild and code things with uses of emotions and player based content but was rejected every time. I guess I kind of gave up after that. I'm did not wiz because I did not have the time needed to do so, and refused to give up my main. Even with the new rules, if I came back I enjoy playing as a mortal to much to wiz for 95% of the time and play 5%.

LOVED George RR Martin's work, can't wait for him to complete his Ice and Fire books.Tarax the Terrible wrote:Tolkien - My first fantasy favourite and still great.
Robin Hobb - Only quite recently discovered Hobb and was very pleased to find such fantastic books I had yet to read.
George RR Martin - Firm favourite of many, enjoyed the story threads and characters.
David Gemmell - Quite short books but amazing characters
Guy Gavriel Kay - Modern people in fantasy setting, well written and quite dark.
Steven Erikson - Epic, Awesome, Original, Blows most others away
Stan Nicholls - Orcs as the main chars, Read it if you play a gobbo.
Joe Abercrombie - Liked Before they were hanged a lot.
Anne Rice - Enjoyed the vamp chronicles greatly.
I'll have to check out the rest.
Re: The Name of the Wind
When it comes to Tolkien.
Yes his work is great, BUT i think he loses too much in being way to caught up in details that really doesnt have any meaning for anyone but him.

Re: The Name of the Wind
Different times. The book was written 70 years ago, there were different standards back then. I get bored when he starts with the landscape descriptions, but I eat it all nevertheless. It is like watching the LotR movies and closing your eyes whenever the camera pans through the mountains.amberlee wrote:When it comes to Tolkien.

Re: The Name of the Wind
I think its really nice with all the descriptions of everything. That way you can really get the feel of the location you're in.
It helps me create the movie of the story in my head, and such makes it even more full, than it would have been, if he only wrote the parts with the "action".

Re: The Name of the Wind
Sure a proper description of landscape and details is all well and good.
But to spend TOO much time on it so that it comes at the expense of the story told.. Thats bad..
