Brainstorm Thread, For a new RP of course Options

[Dantrag]

Ahem,

Judging by previous conversations as well as the low activity in WoH, the plotlines are simply too involved and confusing for any newcomers as well as old participants. (yes, I can use big words like 'participant') So, brainstorm time.

Things we have figured out based on experience :

- No 'all powerful' characters (ex. Arcyakt - he just made things complicated and caused a lot of argument, considering the fact that he had no limit to his powers, and kind of made defeating him illogical)

- Too many factions = bad. It just makes things hectic and hard to put together, expecially since with each new faction, you need at least 3 more characters, usually played by someone that already has multiple characters.

- Large scale = bad. I mean, in WoH, it's all large-scale political schemes that go nowhere. There are no epic duels, huge arguments (Hey, the Sel vs. Niran stuff got old, but it was interesting), etc.

- Feel free to add anything else.

So based on these main no-no's, we need plottage. I was thinking that some kind of plot with two (somewhat equal) sides would be good. WoH was too much, but AMU was too one-sided. I'm sure Kiln and Shogun got bored RPing with only Arcyakt. If we could balance out the sides a little more, it would be good. And of course, there has to be some good old internal conflict.

If most agree with these points, we can get into more specifics.

I think there needs to be some sort of larger plot that the heroes discover later, though. Because this RP would soon become an endless chase without one.

I mean, you can only get so creative with hunting down a person.

Yeah, we couldn't exactly play family feud forever. A deep and understandable plot should be thought of later if it doesn't unfold through normal RP'ing.

And Kiln, I like your idea. Cool Nord zombies+ awesome underground tomb+ conflicting sides- Cyrodiil= awesome idea .

Go get the planning thread made! *Points at Danny with his magical mod hand*
