TxFire4305 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I know there would be a copywright issue to clear up, but it would be awesome to play as Hornblower, or Aubrey or even Nathaniel Drinkwater. Having a PvE campaign following thier lives and career would be interesting. We could see if the player lives up to the characters reputation.P.S. Could even follow historical figures like Jervis, Pellew, or Nelson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Loe Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 They can always be NPCs who give away missions. Take for example Capt Kidd in Potbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrutishVulgarian Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 If the copywrite lawyers in charge of CS Lewis' and Patrick O'Brien are too stupid to pass up free advertising there are plenty of old characters, like Captain Blood, Peter Simple, a young Captain Ahab, And there's a whole mess of historical Captains, it would be fun to fight.

admin Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Interactive scriptwriting is very hard. Such people are rare and already are making their own games or work in movies. Recreating an interesting depiction of Nelson's life would be possible if we can dish out 300/500k for 2-3 writers from HBO. That could be possible in the future if the game is successful.

Thomas Blackwell Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 If it's just the writing side of things and not the programming, I'm sure there are a lot of people knowledgable in the life of Nelson here on the forums who would leap at the chance to help. I'd take a historian over a movie writer any day... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Månis Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I agree with Wind. Put them in in ports to give the ports a little more flavor or something. Like Nelson in Portsmouth for example.. But you could always add an infowindow to them to decribe them and what they have done to be earned a place in the history books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take a historian over a movie writer any day... That is a mistake that many developers make. Great movie writers are ALSO great historians. while great historians are often not good entertaining writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have to do much, just look like they're supposed to and fight better than other NPC's, fight like bosses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
