....and i thought it was cool how if you wanted to you could get some raw steel, and make a crude sword one your own
It would be cool to actually MAKE some stuff, like everyone can choose a skill, like people who chose squires ans thier previous job would more than likely become a blacksmith rather than becoming a doctor
In gothic, when i was making my swords, i actually had to select the forge to heat up my raw steel, then take it to the anvil, beat on the steel a bit, then cool it in a water bucket, then take it to the grindstone, and these are all physical actions, not just some lame menu like in morrowind...
My point is if you have the freedom to do your own stuff. Morrowind had this thing where you could repair your weapons, but it was kinda lame, i wanna be able to buy or steal the materials required for whatever job, and have objects needed to build the produck, say if i wanted to make a crude set of plate, i would need sheet metal, a variety of hammers (well in real life anyway...) forge, anvil, water bucket for tempering, etc. etc.
i know people have suggested blacksmiths should repair your armor, and whatnot, but i dont think they mentioned having the freedom to do so themselves
I found gothic to be pleasanty free, like if i saw someone hammering on thier hut, if i had a hammer, i could do it too, if i saw someone grilling some meat with a pan in a cooking fire, i could do so, provided i had the meat, if i saw someone sitting on a log, i could do so, even tho it wasnt fun...
Many say M&B is a freeform game, sure it is, only because it hasnt had all the content added to it, i kinda find it limiting that i cant enter thru some doors, that i can beat the crap out of merchents and take the loot
Sorry for the long post
