I figured it was time to stop co-opting Laurellien's thread. Sorry!
Just to be nitpicky and a HUGE nerd, It was from "The Dark Knight", which was an awesome movie, while Batman forever made me want to vomit.... just to split hairs.I’m not sure where the “choose which NPC dies” came from (Maybe it was Tracer or maybe it was Batman Forever) but I’m sure that’s not original, either.
Well, in all fairness, there was a "choose which one you save" moment in Batman Forever. Also in Spider-Man. However, you are correct - it was the Dark Knight that inspired the idea (Man, you know my game better than I do!) as the whole idea is that one really will die (no chance to save both as in Forever an Spidey). See, I'm a HUGER nerd. :p
But yea Ive read some of your blog as well and have been seriously considering adding the fire trolls to the Stap as the inspiration is from an awesome movie.
First, Dude! That is so awesome that you've checked out the blog, too. I had no idea so many people had snuck a peek. Please, comment when you stop by and give us big thrill!
Second, Fire Tolls are Tracer's, not mine. Again, I can take credit for nothing. That was Tracer (aka Rob). You’ve probably already read the whole story behind Fire Trolls, but this link covers it, and contains a link to the NPC assassin band that Rob created based on that movie. Also, Fire Trolls, as per the picture seem to make a good volcano encounter, so that incarnation may still show up in the game.
Thanks, so much, for the feedback. As my ideas are not original, feel free to steal them for yourself. Just let me know how it turns out.
Just thought I'd bump this old thread because we've started writing in the blog again. I'm trying to get it caught up for Troy after there were some interesting out-of-game issues...
Hope you enjoy it!
