Dumbest idea contest

[Volkier]

Ok, we have all seen completely useless, dumb, stupid, unsensible ideas pop up, and over-run the generally 'usefull' ideas which might be.... err... usefull..
Likewise, we have seen at least 10 different version of the same idea, being re-phrased, and causing a similar long-term discussion, simply because the idea is so dumb that it creates a massive response in which everyone would argue with one another, compared with most of the generally good ideas suggested by so many people here which tend to get a general 'yes I like this idea' from the community, and die after that. Of course, whether an idea is stupid or not, is up to an individual, (hence I'm not singling out one specific topic :)

Anyways, the idea here, is to prove that ANYONE can create a completely dumb idea which THEY THEMSELVES think is dumb... errr... if that makes sense... Trick is to somehow to sensibly fit it into the game to make it sound genuine (which is what a lot of people have been trying to do).

So apart from this actual topic, my OTHER dumb idea, which even I think is completely useless and irrelevant, is...

MICE..

Yes mice, since its war, and we all know that mice have always somehow or other ended up in the barracks, camps, of any century and any war. Lets impliment mice! It's a natural war... err... distinguishment.

There, now I have made a suggestion which I personally think is more dumb than what anyone else can come up with, and managed to link it to the game. Try it, it would really get some flak off your shoulders and would help to resist the temptation to reply to some threads which you personally think are useless. I know it helped me :

P.S. 'Cheese' is already taken by me as well... Its fitted in with 'mice' :

And I want to burn woman, I mean, WITCHES!!!

 

[Nairagorn]

I want a dog companion, who when it barks shoots bees out of its mouth to attack the enemy.

PIRATE/CRACK THE GAME!

That's it.... prepare to be banned...

 

[Sir Saladin]

Finally. I have a really goofy ie stupid idea that would really enhance this already brilliant game. Witch hunting and vampyres! Has anyone ever seen that old movie "Chronos The Vampire Hunter" ? Throwing knives should be more accurate and cause more damage then any other weapon in the game. And we should be able to hang or tie witches to a bonfire.

 

[svart]

Volkier, you hit the spot with this, cheers m8

My idea, is to make the game completly mouse driven, so when you click an enemy your character will charge and evade and defend - all in one click !!
1. it will boost sales <- look at dungeon siege !
2. it will add 7 yearold players to the community, and as we all know parents just love to make them happy ($$$ anyone ?)
3. this will eliminate posts like "how do i couch the lance ??", or "which ones are better, bows or crossbows" (who cares, they will all now instakill !), and "better combat controls ala gothic" (keyboard is for looosers)
4. it will answer the demands of 1337 players like narcissus, who play the game while playing a beethoven sonata on the piano.
5. it will be so avantgarde to the m&b community, we will see *at least* 10,000 replies after a week, and that means this *has to be incoporated* right ?
6. it goes side by side with volkier's mice suggestion. (except for the cheese part)
7. less keypressing = less electrical signals = less electricity payment !! YOU WILL ACTUALLY MAKE MONEY FROM THIS, and it will PAYOFF YOUR M&B COPY after a few thousand years !

 

[Sir Saladin]

Svart, you seem cynical and yet you didn't even mention the "Why can't I" stuff. Why can't I jump from one horse to another? Where is Tonto? Does Kemosabe really mean cocksucking *******?

 

[Manitas]

I'd say,
We got horses, right?
Then steering wheel with Force Feedback support MUST be implemented!

 

[Worbah]

more cowboys. gay ones preferably.

the game could be renamed "Attack Of The Gay Cowboys"

 

[Lhorkan]

We need at least 2 Marnids in every town.

 

[Ingolifs]

I have one. A button for breathing in, and another one for breathing out. You have to remember to press both of them in a certain rhythm or you pass out or hyperventilate.

Oh, and if you're commanding an army, you have to regulate the breathing of every other unit as well.

And you have increase the speed when your character runs.

Sometimes your helmet should slide down and cover your vision. Making the screen black (3rd person view too) until you hit the random key combo to make the character remove his helmet and throw it away.

 

[Volkier]

LOL welll... errr... you are 'supposed' to attempt to FIT those ideas into the game, like to make them sound legit and sensible... I guess it doesn't matter though ::\.. Go mice!

 

[pzler]

FLYING! MAKE GANDALF AND FLY! THEN ASK FOR SOEMONE TO MAKE GANDALF TO FLY!

actually making a flying gandalf is easy. make a character with a white beard and long hair. make the robe grey, give him a staff and a rediculously high agility and athletics skill. when i make those really high the game seems to get bugged and characters start to float in the air uncontrolebly until they finnaly crash into the ground hurting themselves.

but really i think there are allmost no bad ideas. everybody wants different things. even multiplayer isn't a bad idea. it's just not going to happen in this game but that doesn't make it bad.

 

[Ilex]

A radar. Borcha and Marnid (and padded cloth) could be marked with red dots... and finally we could get rid of those "where is marnid"-threads.

 

[Ingolifs]

Ilex, is it just me, or does everytime i see your avatar, it is speeded up slightly?

How about magic? and the ability to infuse your weapons with different elements?

Or, what about some of Khalid's ideas? Like the ones on politics and stuff?
(jokes)

Can't be, because he doesn't change the image.

Make combat like THIS: -

You just got that from the Oblivion forums, didn't you?

And this should be your link.

 

[catsoup]

Uhm, how about a requiem wich would play when you die? In the meantime the view would float around your knocked out wannabe corpse for around 15 minutes. Once it's finished it should ask you if you want to load your game. It's done in many other commercial games. Just think of Morrowind or Baldurs Gate (Yeah, also add the vaporized hand video) or Operation Flashpoint... hmmm... speaking about operation flashpoint and Rome:TW, what about adding smartass comments from Sun Tsi before every battle?

 

[Volkier]

With the type of topics popping up in 'suggestions' this thread SO proves my point lol...

I have one. A button for breathing in, and another one for breathing out. You have to remember to press both of them in a certain rhythm or you pass out or hyperventilate.

Oh, and if you're commanding an army, you have to regulate the breathing of every other unit as well.

I like Ingolifs suggestion actually .... lol.... Makes sense, is realitic, can bring more things to the game, and is very suited for this topic :

We can add onto the 'breathe in / breathe out' with a 'piss / ****' button. If you don't press it now and then, you would eventually explode :
