OdiYum Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I was playing Eternal Darkness, and I found out that Eternal Darkness 2 was on kick-starter and failed to raise the necessary money. This got me thinking about a cosmere game. I have two choices. Roshar Imagine having a variety of different classes/races that you can pick like in the Elder Scrolls games. You could choose a dark-eyed spearman who has recently killed a shardbearer and has been elevated to lighteyed status, making your way to the shattered plains, or a lighteyed shardbearer already fighting for vengeance. You could be a lowly slave in a bridge crew who has decided to desperately try and protect his bridge crew, eventually becoming a windrunner. Maybe a warrior ardent, who fights with both blade and soulcaster, effectively making them a glass cannon. Couple this with the awesome nature of shards and surges and that would be a FUN game. Nalthis I see this game as being very similar to Assassin's Creed. The world would be drawn in cell shading like Okami (note: not artistic style. Just a similar concept), but the characters and NPCs would be much more realistic. This would help showing the different heightenings more easily. I figure this would start out with you breaking Vasher out of jail, and he gifts you with enough breaths to get to 2-3 heightening. Then you make your way through a story of either stopping the war, starting it and supporting either side, or playing each side against each other and putting yourself on top after the dust clears. Imagine walking through a crowded city street and brushing a rope, awakening it to carry you up to the roof. Then leaving the same rope in wait for an enemy. Or maybe awakening cloths to give you an extra umph to your jumping and running abilities. When you die, you could get two choices, load the last save point of continue as a returned. At the end of the playthrough, if you have accumulated enough breaths you could spend them awakening a sword similar to Nightblood and use it on the next playthrough, or carry over your breaths eventually reaching insane heightenings. Those are my ideas, but I was just wondering what other people thought. I was also wondering if this could ever be kick-startered because I would contribute a good amount of money to this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topomouse he/him Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I like the Nalthis idea. When you said Okami(fantastic game btw) I just pictured a beautifully drawn world whose colours change as you gain or lose Breaths. You would probably need a very good artistic department but I think there is potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left he/him Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 An Okami Nalthis would be really cool. I imagine a Roshar one being along similar lines as tes, but with a really well developed melee system. Mistborn, well, something along the lines of a cross between Kotor and the Arkham series. Sel, hmmmmmm. I dunno, I would find it most interesting if I got to play as Chaychan or a Dakhor. Being an Elantrian would probably just be typical mage game, and while Forging could be cool I don't know if it would be my cup of tea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifth of Daybreak he/him Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I'm a big fan of open world RPGs like Skyrim and Fallout. Sit Brandon down with Bethesda, give them a ridiculous budget, and boom: open universe RPG. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdiYum Posted August 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 That would actually be a really cool idea. Make one cosmere spanning game where you can start off on one shard world and world hop to another world and influence the story there. Up vote for you sir!

BreathTaker he/him Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I was about to post something about how someone needs to make a Roshar Mod for Skyrim. They already have giant crabs and stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdiYum Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 More side quests - using the Mass Effect choice wheel, teach nightblood to love - mistborn vs. windrunner races - get exalted status with the ghostbloods, skybreakers (Nal's), etc - card games vs. chromium compounders - listen to ALL of Hoid's stories - reach 10th + heightening 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggai Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Roshar would never work as the sort of game you describe. Gravitation basically breaks all the maps, bridge runs would be absurdly boring (yet still dangerous), Shardblades are totally OP, you can't have Elsecallers without adding basically all of the other worlds, etc. It could work as, say, a strategy game, where you play as a highprince and try to capture gemhearts. Or a total conversion mod for Crusader Kings II, since there are already similar things for ASOIAF, the Lord of the Rings, and the Elder Scrolls. War, politics, plotting, assassinations, event chains in which bridgemen save your entire army and you turn them into bodyguards, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cstryon he/him Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I would love to see a Diablo 2 Mod with Armors are certain metalminds. Storing health means you walk around at a lower health, (say, 75%, 50, 25) and when you tap it, your health regens (again 75, 50, 25 percent faster). Etc.. Really cool I think, but I'm on a Diablo 2 replay right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killersquirrel59 he/him Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Even more side quests! Collect all the hemalurgic spikes Trivial Pursuit with a Keeper Spot the Kandra Kaladin's Crazy Bridge Run (I imagine an on the rails vehicle game with quick-time events to lash arrows away) Windrunner races (like Assassin's Creed race missions but even harder to follow with the whole screen inverting when you lash yourself to the wall of ceiling) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreathTaker he/him Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) I have a Ring in Skyrim called Pewtermind and an Ebony Greatsword that steals health named Nightblood. I'm working on getting a full set of Dragonplate with Increased Health and Carrying Capacity to make in to Shardplate.

Could do different eras Uniting Alethkar Warcamps as mentioned I think this would also be a good take for Sel. Sel would also be good as an AR mobile game like Maguss with its spell drawing.
