Title: What special twist do you like to see in RPGs?
Post by: wildguy3922 on June 09, 2005, 01:41:49 AM: Something that you would actually enjoy in an rpg story and isn't cliche.

What I mean in twist, for instance:
1. The main character's enemy is actually his father.
2. The character finds out he's not human.
3. A specific person dies that was important.
4. An unexpected event happens.

I like the idea when your playing an rpg and its based off its own story, but an event happens that was totally unexpected and it actually made sense, BUT, not too ridiculous, lol.

If you've ever seen or read dreamcatcher by Stephen King, that's an example. BUT, his was a little bit ridiculous, lol.

"You bastard, Cloud! I was going to become a God, and then save everyone on the planet. Now instead it's just going to explode."
"Whooops."

1. The main character's enemy is actually his father

Isn't that an über cliché?

Maybe an idea to make a RPG about Hamlet?

Usually theres a lot of short scenes showing this friend, but he/she is aways in the dark, so you don't know who is it.

* After fighting and killing a man who tries to take over the world, [GLOW]YOUR KING[/GLOW] takes over the world. Killing you in the process. Painfully.

* In the end of the game, the character can be either good, or evil, depending of the choises you made. (BoF IV)
And strangely enough, if you're evil, its like three hundred of billions of times easier to beat the last boss. Oh, wait, now YOU'RE the last boss.
