CORE DISCUSSION:size

[DarkAsmodeous]

This is a thread for core members to discuss the isue of scale. I honestly believe that to realy replicate the feel of the open desert and dense rainforest, as well as have excelent content. I will acknowledge the arguement that scale is important to mainane continuity, however I believe that quality is the most important thing, and other mods are taking the same route. What would bethesda do if they made an elsweyr game? They would make it large, large enough for a game.

Please explain what you mean here... It doesn't make sense.

[DarkAsmodeous]

oops, you need to provide enough space. Sorry!

Well, we could do an independant worldspace, but it would be a pain crossing the cyrodilic borders... Maybe we should do a poll?

Independant Worldspace:

-cleaner, less likely to conflict with Oblivion OR other mods
-Walls blcoking Elsweyr from Cyrodil
-more time to make
-more to explore

Dependant WorldSpace:

-Shouldn't take as long
-Able to see white gold tower, the mountains of Skyrim, and the rest of beautiful Tamriel
-Able to cross the borders freely, no walls (invisible, cliffs) blocking the path
-Not as much to explore

If we atatch it to cyrodiil, we will have to overcome many issues, independant is cleaner, it would also be tiny, you know that nice little messa arsonide made? It's awsome, it's also about a fourth of elsweyr when its near to scale

[TheImperialDragon]

Alright, so it seems that independant is cleaner. It would probably mean it won't conflict with other mods too.

[DarkAsmodeous]

exactly, and we can make a to scale independant, although I stand firmly for larger.

I would like a independant worldspace, because it'd be bigger. If we build to Cyrodiils scale in Oblivion it'll be very small. But if we build it to lore scale like ST is doing. It'll be bigger and more room for endless wilderness, towns, and dungeons. if its bigger it'll make the people who just play Oblivion for fun and don't really care for lore that much happy because more to explore and do, and people who care about the lore would be happy because its built to the correct scale. Cyrodiil in Oblivion is really really scaled down.

Crossing over to another worldspace wouldn't be bad, there'd just be a station to go through. Just like worldspacced towns. The land would feel small if you could see the white gold tower from elswyr. But that'd still be abit cool.

[TheImperialDragon]

Well, at the moment, it would seem independant is the way to go... I think we should do a poll though.

[DarkAsmodeous]

We can ask for input, but this is a core decission, but if people overwhelmingly want it, we will probably go that way, And you can still se white-gold tower in an independant, we just have to place a scaled up one in the distance, simulate the other provinces, then the player never notice and discrepancies.
