A cool, random, and totally pointless idea (will it work?)

finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Thursday, April 3 2003 10:06 Profile #0 I just thought, how about having different modes of transport. Like, instead of horses you could have bikes (with their own graphic and everything). If you could do that kind of thing it would be cool. Also, would you be able to check to see if the party are riding them and/or stop them from getting off? If so, you could extend it to say, for instance, snowboards, and the party can't take them off until they're at the bottom, and must have them on to go down. Now that would be cool!

As for the second part - Maybe, maybe not. I wouldn't count on it happening. Posts: 422 | Registered: Tuesday, October 16 2001 07:00
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Thursday, April 3 2003 13:29 Profile Homepage #2 Jeff is definitely not going to create extra modes of transportation, especially because of the PC graphic nightmares it would cause. Editing graphics should work in most cases. And if you want it impossible to leave the vehicle in certain locations, use a boat. —Alorael, who doesn't think there's much difference between a snowboard and a magical snowboat. Okay, there's plenty of difference, but it should be good enough for most BoA scenarios. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00

Besides - for the snowboard thing - why even bother with giving them transport. Just say the party is on a snowboard and then just don't lert them go upwards (of course, in BoE, when moving platforms existed, this can be done better) -------------------- Riot Shields Voodoo Economics It's just business Cattle prods And the IMF I trust I can rely on your vote Posts: 530 | Registered: Sunday, September 1 2002 07:00

Imagine, shooting people off your horse, or having it rear up and clobber someone. Now THAT would be cool. :cool: Posts: 73 | Registered: Wednesday, July 3 2002 07:00
