well I've looked around the forums for any RPG's that are in development and I've only seen information on one and that's the "Malin" mod which looks to me more of an adventure RPG.
are there any other plans for rpg mods for HL2?
if there aren't any other plans for any RPGs I've been cooking up ideas for a couple different different rpg type mods.
the first one would be a deep fantasy type action/rpg with actual living villages and communities all based off of different mythologies/ideas (ex. there'd be villages based off of anime, midevil europe, norse mythology, ect.) each village would interact with each other differently and have their own specific feel or style to them.
the combat system could be handled in 2 different ways. firstly it could be handled in the same way Jedi Knight/Rune basically running around and fighting with the mouse, Or it could be handled like a fighting game (DoA or like Revenant did their fighting system) using the keyboard for fighting.
another thing i was planning for this mod was the ability to play different faction types (ex. you could start off at one of the villages then go join a bandit faction and play as a bandit raiding caravans and villages). and character creation wouldn't be restricted to humanoids (you can play monsters/animals).
I was also thinking of including a mount system so you wouldn't have to run everywhere, you could actually use your own pet/mount for transportation, but mounts would sometimes have a mind of their own.
the story would vary depending on which type of character you created. there'd be 3 different viewpoints of the story that's being told Nature, Civilization, and Anarchy. each of them would be working against each other.
the 2nd idea i had would be a rpg based on the idea of Cowboy Bebop. It would be set in the future and you'd be a bounty hunter. This would be more like a FPS/RPG with vehicle combat (air/space and land), stealth aspects, a bunch of different planets/cities, and alot of different mission types.
as you start out you find yourself being fired from your low paying factory job. on your walk home from your last place of employment you notice a bounty hunter's outlet.
you think to yourself "Odd I've never seen this place before", as you look around to make sure nobody's watching.
you inconspicuously walk inside and take a look around. A flashing terminal in the corner catches your attention.
A bellowing "Hello" quickly draws your attention from the terminal to the front counter "you must be new here"
You muster out a weak "Hi" while staring at the large man behind the counter
"My name is Ed, And you are?" the gruff man asks.
"Looking for something else" you reply.
Ed looks puzzled for a second then says "well feel free to look around, just know that there are cameras placed all around the store and that i'm trained in every weapon you can see here."
"umm ok" you reply back as you start looking around the convienence sized store. once again the terminal in the corner catches your attention.
you walk over to it and read the message that's being flashed on screen. It reads "New Local Bounty". you click the screen. a bunch of information starts flashing up on the screen the first thing that you notice is that it's paying $10,000 and the second thing is that the picture displayed of the wanted individual is your roommate.
hehe woops kinda got into that a bit but that's what the story would start out like anyway. so tell me what you think of each of the ideas, and which one you'd rather see come into existence.
I'll need people to work on either of the mods that i decide to make.
:edit: i havent put as much thought into the second idea as the first (yet) so if some things seem to be lacking just ask
