The NSM RPG

I think the main character should look like Magnus from Uprising. (Without the creepy Japanese hairstyle)

[popo447]

Hmmm.... Magnus is not a bad idea but i think the main character should look like Kite from .Hack, only they would have semi normal looking hair.

[Spyro]

More similar to Fire Emblem then, but without the weird hairstyle. I also think that everyone in the game should have similar clothes as the protagonist, but without the weird hairstyles (you know, without the weird hairstyles)

Ah, got to love Fire Emblem. Love that hair.

Also, his/her main weapon should be a bow. Swords and stuff are overused.

But swords are cool

[Zunawe]

Start with a sword, and other weapons will be available later. Also, just draw something. We'll figure out what we like based on what's been drawn.

[Cobraroll]

Fun fact: When fighting on foot, a halberd is almost always a better choice of weapon than a sword. It has a longer reach, can be swung with a much greater force, can stab, hack or drag, and most importantly, it isn't useless in a cluster fight. With a sword in hand, you're cavalry fodder. With a halberd in hand, cavalry is your fodder.

Swords are overrated.

[Zunawe]

I know. It's just the weapon everybody goes to when they think "mideval". It's the default weapon, and will probably be replaced by anybody who plays the game.

But there should be guns and other fun things

[FSM-Reapr]

MAGIC SHOTGUNS!!! XD

[Zunawe]

I thought we had already gone over this. The ability to use technology was destroyed somehow. If we're going to use futuristic weapons at all, then it should be simple upgrades to medieval weapons, or a replacement for magic (I actually like that idea). That is, unless I was mistaken in what other people were saying.

Ummmmm guns and medieval weapons and magic can all easily exist in one game. Just don't make one totally OP'd over the others. Medeival can be a lot of short ranged while guns and bows can be for a long ranger class such as hunters, either making bows more powerful and guns possibly rapidly fired or faster fire rate(depending on the battle system we use) or guns could be more powerful later game weapons and magic would be for magic class.

[Zunawe]

I'm not saying that isn't possible, but I thought we had decided not to do it. I'll put a poll up.

EDIT: Dangit. Is there a way to remove/edit a poll so that I can have people only vote once?

To get around the fact that technology was destroyed in the story, while still being able to have cool weapons in the game, we could have it so these new Magic/Technology hybrid weapons were created from the scraps of the old world that were destroyed. People have forgotten what the technology was originally designed for, but they could still find new uses for it. For example, there could be a shop in the world that could specialize in combining technology with the weapons you have. You could pay the shopkeeper to rig up a battery attached to your halberd so that it gains an electricity attribute and has a chance to paralyze.

[Zunawe]

^That would be option two. And what I meant by replacing magic was something like: Magic doesn't exist, and that has been proven (somehow), so other minor technologies were developed that allowed the user to, say, create a fireball from a thrown item, or lightning strikes from something handheld.

@dryluigi I love your avatar!

"Lightning Palm" I can already see that.
