Asking again!

Should the Varric game be released in one large package or in smaller (1-4) chapters. The benefits of the larger package is it would allow me to do larger choices and an epilogue but the smaller chapters would give you access to the game faster and I'd be able to do the future chapters with feedback in mind.

Should the game's storyline be a continuation of the Darkspawn Chronicles story or remain vague on the big plot elements?

 I'm thinking smaller chapters? How big is it going to be?
Also, remaining vague on big plot elements is good...I never got Darkspawn Chronicles, hehe:blush:

No. They sell it... smotherin' size.

I am horribly ashamed to admit I do not know the thoughts behind the Nutella *hangs head, extinguishes torch*

@Dave, out of curiosity, how does one share games made in (iirc) RPG maker? Does one need RPGmaker to play games made on it? Assuming I could play it without having the program, then I vote chapter by chapter. More encouragement and feedback for you on the way to a finished game, which would help me if I were in your shoes at least, and sweet cliffhangers to keep your players on board.

I can make it playable with the program and playable without, without however creates a lot larger files.

[Daerog]

You can get a free version of RPG Maker, download it from their site, that allows you to play created campaigns. You need to purchase it only if you plan on making stuff with it, but you don't need to buy it to play community created games. IIRC.

I guess chapters it is.

[namedforthemoon]

I like the idea of breaking it up into chapters.

Dear god, you're making a game!? And RPG maker, that brings back a lot of memories.  The things you miss when your internetz disappear for months.

Awesome, this just made my day

Go for it, Dave!

Well, I didn't vote (forgot to go back and do so 'cuz I  got caught up in all the great new art, etc.!)  but I would have said "all-in-one".  Then I realized that if I can just wait, I can get the AIO version once the Final Chapter is released, while those who prefer (and are able, never understood those types...) to get their pleasures a bit at a time can enjoy it in pieces as it comes along...

Right Shoulder Demon:  "Com'on!   Just Chapter 1.  You can see if you like it."
Left Shoulder Angel:  "Must.   Restrain.   D/L Finger."  [clenches fists at sides]
Right Shoulder Demon:  "But the Thread will be full of chatter and you won't get the references!"

I hate it but I suspect I'll do a quiz about the major choices during each chapter intro and just pray people will remain consistent with their choice.

Example: "DID YOU EAT THE CHEESE?"
YES 
NO
WHERE WAS THE CHEESE?

Oh stop it with your Josh Holloway pictures *drool*

NO! Don't stop!
@jakkel Dragon: yes, you have a ponytail, as your hair is Morrigany and she has some sort of ponytail thing going on.
I am sorry if it seems Dave is naked.....he could be wearing a speedo, but Varric, Creators bless his soul, is standing in the way so that we don't have to find out!
....and I'm not sure what Anarya is looking at; Dave's velcro muscles or Varric....or both:huh:
go ahead and do THIS to me, and cast me into the hairy chasm that is Varric's chesthair for rushing the picture and eating a chocolate muffin instead of Nutella:crying:

@Dave o'C;

Great idea, but please start a new topic for that effort.  Pleeeeeeze? 

I'm trying to be a good PC and not get any more spoilers ahead of actually playing any games.  So since I really, reeeeeeely wanna play Super Varric World  (maybe old working title, don't know if there's a new one) I have to avert my gaze anytime I might be exposed to them.   Which would probably be ALL THE TIME if your polls were here.

And I would miss being able to hang out here, where my gaze can fall regularly on the awsomeness that is Varric, and where the company is so great!

All these Josh Holloway pictures... Well, it's just one Josh Holloway picture, but it keeps getting reposted, lol. Anyway, it makes me want more "Sawyer"-Varric art from Aimo! Please, Aimo, please!!

[Pseudo the Mustachioed]

I think I'm missing a joke with this Sawyer thing. A Lost reference? I guess I'll have to watch it.



Any nod to pop culture is a welcome nod to pop culture, deliberate or not

[KJandrew]

I'm just wondering, how would this fanbase react if Varric were to be killed at the end of the game?
Or he was revealed not to be a dwarf but just a short human?

He really does. *ahem*

In fact I wouldn't mind Varric being a bit Sawyer-ish in some regards, if he starts coming up with amusing nicknames for different companions, including Hawke, then the game disc will melt from sheer awesome.

Well, he does call Mary Half-Pint. 

Hmm, I wonder if Josh Holloway still has his home here.  Daniel Dae Kim does still live here (yay!), and he actually opened a burger place (The Counter) with a well-known local chef - sometimes he actually stops in and eats there (so I hear)! I still haven't visited it yet, but I really kind of want to try that malassada shake (unless it was just a temporary special and they don't have it now).

<---- Lost fan in Hawaii. My Daniel Dae Kim/burger-related gushing aside, if Varric ends up being somewhat Sawyer-like, then I approve!!!!

<---- Had a huge crush on Sawyer (and Jack too - tee-hee)!

I just hope there aren't any Kates.



If there are, I will shed jears for eternity.

You mean he was just kneeling the whole time?
What a twist!
I see rage if that happened.

If there is a Kate, she better watch out.

My rogue Hawke carries many daggers.

But then she'll just cry and pout and men will turn into macho alpha male apes beating their chests in a show of supremacy over her.
