Video Game Idea: Sword: For Hire

"Sword: For Hire"

A first person hack-n-slash RPG game that allows you to branch out into simulation and strategy. Building on ideas presented in "Faction" and "The Odds."

The main game play element would be different militant groups you can join. So if you join a mercenary group, it would have an unique hierarchy, and you can fill different roles demanded by group leader.

Combat falls into ranges: Short - hands, dagger, rock; Medium - sword, axe, mace; Long - spear, staff, man-catcher; Missile - dagger, axe, arrow, bolt.

Combat would be realistic in that characters can form "walls" to face opponents. Characters using long or missile weapons can reach past them.

Skill tree has main categories, and differentiates for more specific skills a player wants. There are no limits to stats or skills. Experience gained from whatever actions can be converted to points for a character's stats.

Conceivably have a large battlefield with many different NPCs interacting.

The player can play in any role, from subordinate to leader, from combat to non-combat, and from legitimate to bandit.

"Marriage" to produce offspring, which you can use money to increase their stats and abilities.

If the game was made into an MMO, each player would need to have a "bed" they can save their character at. If the bed is destroyed, this may or may not affect the character.

@samodl2 why are you even WATCHING this then? Just to insult the idiot? The funniest part is you were probably whacking off to pitures of Megan Fox or something while typing that.

And you're telling him to get a life? you're being an internet tough guy, dude. YOU need the life.

kool idea im also going to make a game my friends and i are calling it :

DEATH CODE

[BlackCubeMovies]

Yeah, thats a good idea. Also, building on the strategy elements, how about the game world starts off with about fifteen hostile settlements, but over time, the settlements develop alliances and group together into nations. Eventually, you'll have about three or four lands battling it out for control!

[BlackCubeMovies]

This is a great idea, but it would excel as a single player game.

[trucorruption]

I like the idea it sounds like a mix of oblivion and Europa the guild

[allrequiredfields]

You went from riding the short bus to driving it.

I'd love to be that oblivious, to where I could ramble on incoherently about random ideas that have already been realized, and think that legitimately successful people are going to be interested in my nonsense. The bliss you must live in.
