So as has been the case for MANY years, iwot has decided to grace us with teasing a Wheel of Time video game. A RPG no loss. And OPEN WORLD RPG no less. AAA no less. From the core group that was Turbine - of LOTRO fame. It is iwot however so it will either fade to dust as per the norm. Or it might come to pass and be a turd sandwich. or maybe, just...maybe... it could be a good thing? So indulge with me a bit of fantasy, lets talk once again about what we would want from a Wheel of Time game. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Visuals: Since they said AAA game I expect visuals damn near to what we get in the TV adaptation. But I want them to take the opportunity to use the game to be a faithful RECREATION of the novels. That way I get to have my cake and eat it too. I can have a adaptation in the series and a faithful following of the actual words from the actual paper. Soundtrack: The tv series has nice music but give me something more traditional. Games need emotion to rise and fall with action and the discordant tone of the show does not work for such. Caddy wants her full orchestra tyvm. Mechanics: A wishlist. 1)The whole map please. 2)Don't trip on the story. If you DO plan to trip on the story then do it like in LOTRO. Near the main actors but still distant. 3) Classes - not everyone wants to play magic every playthrough. 4) Make the world feel alive. NPCs with schedules etc. 5) Explain why when I die...twas just a flesh wound 😛 6) Pay actual voice actors - every line fully voiced. Including background npcs 7) If I pick Aes Sedai I want to see parts of my novice and apprenticeship 😛 8 ) Male channelers need an insanity mechanic. Nothing that makes the char unplayable after a point but...maybe make them see "trollocs" occasionally and its actually just people 😛 9) Horsies and Ferries 10) I want house.

Rules: One upmanship at its finest. The sillier the better! Here is how it began.... CaddySedai: I used to walk ten miles from home to the local internet cafe in order to post every day on the 14.4k modem. 56k? Hah… you think we had Sean Connery money? No. We had 14.4k and we liked it. During winter it was in six to eight feet of snow - uphill both ways - and under that snow it was just nothing but broken glass and old razor blades. Back then we didn’t have any shoes - you just walked so much the soles of our feet turned into leather. And you know what, we had fun. And we liked it. And we never complained. SinisterDeath: Man you were loaded! Back in my day, we trained pigeons to delivery binary code for our internet! CaddySedai: Oh man...I would have to apologize then for any bandwidth drops.... You see I was so poor we often had to eat those pigeons just to save up enough money to be able to afford to even say the words AT&T. SinisterDeath: You ate? F'in rich you were. If we weren't working 30 hours a day, we were lucky if we got rock soup for dinner! CaddySedai: You had 30 hours to work in a day? What were you - made of money? I actually had to sell back all the hours in the day and only have about 1 minute 14 seconds left.
