EmPhasis

Hi All,

Firstly I would like to say, that it's only an idea and it can modified in almost every direction.


I thought about mod that would extend quests( I noticed that almost every quest can be done in only one way - e.g. when we talk with Phaen, but we cannot join his side; we have only some dialogue options that imitate it, but finally we fight as well, as we would choose good side), add maybe some items and for the most important it would make the whole plot more flexible(I've thought about making everything more sense - e.g. those bad twins(as I recall Isair and M..??) they are just so bad, that we must detroy them - we do not have any other options; their badness is justified/supported by some slaves; everything is so obvious...;we just follow the straight line through minor captains to the most powerful and the worst twins on this world, killing everything that moves in our sight; what if I'm bad ?).
I've also thought about those places that are marked on world map, but we cannot travel there and I think that mod could also contain them.


Thanks for reading.
Please write your opinion or thoughts about it.


EDIT:

PS
If I would start writing this mod, I'd like to firstly discuss every change that would implement this mod with someone/few people, so I hope that there will be someone willing to talk about it.

I'm curious if anyone is still interested in this mod and if it is worthy ressurection. That's what I'd like to know.
