What features would you like to see in a huge Wesnoth RPG?

[Gambit]

I think I can help with the character's personality and dialogue.

IIUC that will be determined by the player.
You might have to write multiple dialogues for different personalities.

[Hulavuta]

I meant the NPC's.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, once I figure out the technical issues (I'm almost done that, I just have to run a test on the inventory and dialogue, then I'm done, and can start making the real game). But before I make the game, I want to be sure the storyline is acceptable. I mean, I know it's okay, but is it worth spending as much effort as I intend to spend on it?

I'm gonna start coding the campaign today, although I don't think I'm gonna go with the wall idea above, it's just far too much work. For now I'll use only the dwarf walls and the cave walls, but perhaps I'll update the maps at some point in the future.

What. You don't think the NPCs would react differently to a jack*** character and Mr. LoveyLolipops?

That should be addequate for now. The cave wall works for mountains and caves, and the dwarf wall works fine for any large stone building.

Well then I will do a bunch of different stuff for NPC dialogue.

Unfortunately my skills, such as they are, are mostly limited to writing and it seems like you`ve got that covered, but if there`s anything I can do to help with this campaign, just ask.

Okay, an update! I've been working on the AMLA system for your characters, which will allow you to upgrade them as you want to. Here are the stats I've come up with so far:

Spoiler:

Vitality: how much damage the character can withstand before dying

Strength: adds to the damage your character can do when using a melee weapon

Marksmanship: adds to the damage your character can inflict using ranged weapons

Pure Magic: How much effect you have when using holy spells such as heal, illumination, etc.

Elemental Magic: How much damage you can do with fire, ice, etc.

Corrupt Magic: How much effect you have when using evil spells, such as corruption, darken, etc.

Literacy: Your ability to decipher writing, be it a journal, ancient runes carved into a tomb, or a powerful spellbook.

Charisma: how convincing you are during conversations, higher levels will allow you to manipulate others through your words, and may also enable you to talk some enemies out of attacking you.

Nature Knowledge: your knowledge of nature, such as how to blend into the background

Leadership: how well you are able to lead others in battle

Perception: how well you are able to detect hidden passages, traps, etc. Having enough of this skill can save your life and lead to to mighty treasures… or certain death.

These are all the stats I will be using for now, maybe I'll add more when I finish the game. But I'd rather have it too simple and add on to it later than have it be too complex and having to quit halfway through because of frustration. Some ideas or critique for the current stats and some suggestions for the new stats as well as the spells in each of the three magic classes would be appreciated.

Would you consider using Bob's RPG Era for your scenario? It already has many of the rpg features you are after.

(whisper) Psst, this is a campaign. *wink*

Actually, I've been using that very system (with a few of my own modifications). In fact, your era is the reason I decided to start this project, because it showed me that having an inventory was possible. Thanks a ton for creating that era, it has helped me a lot.

Another update: I plan on finishing the 'demo' version within the next month or two, so I can get some feedback and give you guys a taste of what I'm planning. So far I've completed three levels, and I have five or six under various stages of construction.

I'm salivating!

Off-topic: This is my 200th post!

I look forward to the demo. Its now near the top of my list of add-ons to play.

[Dagoth]

Kind of like Oblivion, Morrowind, or Castle of the Winds Remake? Those were based on RPG style.

Another thing is if you are planning to add so many levels, why not take the mainline campaigns and tie them together? Like Delfadors Memoirs leads to Heir to the Throne, and so on? and if you are going to do something like this, you might want to divide it into parts; a game like that would take alot of space in one file.
