Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
Comment preview: * *Special Operations in the Age of Chivalry, 1100-1550* is good for the medievalist looking for real-life stories of individual knight's daring do. Each chapter is a different story from history so you can read a chapter here or there as you like. * *Geng ....
Comment preview: Interesting bits > * There are no class stories, just the epic story with a dash of class flavor tossed in. > * Because the story is personal to you, playing with even one friend is restrictive. Unlike the base game, where friends could play together ....
Comment preview: In Morrowind you don't uncover tons of hidden conspiracies or destroy entire organizations or defeat ancient foes of untold power while climbing the ranks of the Mage's guild. Granted it's a bit more dull but it's much more immersive to have to kiss all so ....
Comment preview: > It was the first time I've seen any movie related to the "Rings" Yikes... Go back and watch The Fellowship, Two Towers, and Return of the King (in order, because it's one story). The Hobbit movies are the same universe and feature some of the same cha ....
Comment preview: You mean, once they discovered that their following was great and vast enough to warrent an epic story, that they would find it within themselves to write and produce such an epic story; not done out of love/desire for money, but out of love of their craft ....
Comment preview: This may be a bit out there, but I have always held the belief that neither the books nor the movies are superior to one another because of the way Tolkien wrote the books and the history of Middle Earth. In Tolkien's mind the books were just a retelling o ....
Comment preview: I've scrolled for a while and I'm surprised I haven't seen shadow of the colossus. That game is so powerful as a representative that not much story is needed to make a great game and not much fighting everywhere you go. The story part really reminds me of ....
Comment preview: I agree with you in principle, but if war history was actually boring it wouldn't be quite so popular. Wars are told as epic stories, with mighty clashes between larger than life figures, and events where the fate of nations hung in the balance. Now to a v ....
Comment preview: I disagree. GRRM is smart, and an outstanding storyteller/writer. He wants to create an epic story, that could (and may already have) surpass Lord of the Rings. LOTR has defined good and evil, but the gray areas explored in ASOIAF set it above LOTR in m ....
Comment preview: As a DM myself I have a fairly loose overall story, set in a large (though flexible) game world, and keep a decent set of plausible encounters on index cards with CR's and all that. I've learned that as a DM I am responsible for the players having a good t ....
Comment preview: My epic story is one travelling up a mountainous area, I believe near Labryinthian.. wind is picking up as it does, snow starts to fall, and soon enough it's a full on white-out blizzard AND it's at night. Hard to see very far, wind blowing really hard, c ....
Comment preview: In my personal opinion, being a huge Dragon Age fan, having played and beaten both games multiple times, 2 isn't as bad as people make it out to be. There are some glaring flaws and issues (re-used enviroments, less character choice in your own and compani ....
Comment preview: Vedas also called shrutis were heard by rishis and passed on from generation to generation until it was written down. They contain mainly hymns for worshipping various nature gods and form a basis of Hindu culture. For instance the four fold varna system i ....
Comment preview: If Jon doesn't come back, its just bad storytelling: 1. What's the point of the Varamyr Prologue if not to show that a warg can basically use an animal as a save game? 2. What's the point of showing that Thoros can raise the dead (Beric), and that he's a R ....
Comment preview: My reaction to his comments: 1. I agree that the dungeons began to feel similar, but they are a huge improvement over Oblivion with a much more Indiana Jones feel. The auto-generated quests are like he says, but otherwise i completely disagree. They advanc ....
Comment preview: EDIT: Page has now been removed. Massive fuck up to make that public facing whilst it's in development. >A man can have anything... If he's willing to sacrifice everything. Step into an epic story-driven adventure as your character becomes The Outlander ....
Comment preview: I was really hoping the future of RPGs would be setting more games in the modern day (like Alpha Protocol) as opposed to being epic stories set in Tolkien-esque fantasy worlds or in Star Wars-esque science fiction world. It's not like modern day RPGs woul ....
Comment preview: I have a theory about this. In SF&F the author is creating both the world and the story within it. As a reader if I like the world I naturally want more of it so am more inclined to read more books in that setting. And as an author I'm sure if you have ....
Comment preview: I have seen B5 from from end to end probably 6 times now. The first time it was over I literally cried. The 2nd and 3rd I got misty. It is just such an epic story and so original and well done. It may be a little dated now but I watch it about once every y ....
Comment preview: Imagine each film is a tale told to young ones in the firelight on the dangerous sands. Max is just as much a folk tale as a historic epic. From story to story not everything adds up, but what's to be expected from a tale that changes with each telling. A ....
Comment preview: This may have been because I dove right into Brotherhood straight after 2, but I thought ACB felt kinda small and inconsequential. AC2 had this epic story that spanned twenty something years, from Ezio as a teenager to his mid-30s. It took him through two ....
Comment preview: All book & game adaptations! Death Gate Cycle Series by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman The Black Company Series by Glenn Cook The 12-book epic story of the Fool & FitzChivalry starting with Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb The Robot Detective ....
Comment preview: - Bastion? - To The Moon? - Catherine? - Heavy rain? - Red Dead Redemption? - System shock 2? - Mass Effect 1/2? (hit or miss) - KOTOR 1/2? - Metal Gear Solid? - Max Payne? - Alan fucking Wake? - Advent Rising? [Yeah the gameplay was awful, but Orson Card ....
Comment preview: Sauron was kind of a henchman of a much more evil dude from the beginning. That eviler dude was defeated in a much more epic story thousands of years before. Sauron himself was defeated thousands of year before as well (as is explained in the intro to Lo ....
Comment preview: This is reminds me of a similar (but pitiful compared to this) experience. It was early on when Minecraft was still in beta. Me and a friend jumped on a public server, played around for a while, etc. Then we noticed a big pole of dirt, and another pole of ....
