    Jot Down Your Minor Ideas Here.
    1) Vampiric cyborg ninja pirate werewolves. :evillol:
    Sorry, pirates are right out. Perhaps we'll still be able to do the rest, we'll just add some fangs and a cape to our already stunning cyborg ninja werewolf models.

    2) Vocal music with lyrics, not just humming. This sort of thing doesn't work well as background music, but it would be neat to have it in certain situations. Examples would be over some cutscene or during the ending credits. Maybe you could walk into an inn and actually hear the words to the ballad being sung by the bard in the common room.
    This suggestion is similar to something I've always wanted in a game. I'd love for the character to walk into a place right in the middle or at the tail end of something. You never see a character walk in just when a bar fight's ending, or overhear some maiden talking to the fighter right in front of you about "the first adventurer I see." Sure it doesn't help advance the story or make the player feel a part of that particular plot, but as a jab at game cliches or as an extra? That would be beautiful!

    3) A joke with the potential to be a running gag in future DA games. Like BG's Noober/Neeber or the golden pantaloons.
    I love running gags that are subtle. The golden pantaloons may have been way too subtle, but the Noober/Neeber/Neibor gag was pretty funny. Little references to our previous games are also high on my list of running gags, like the "mysterious stranger" reference in Jade Empire's arena.

    Is there Adult Content in DA?
    I'd actually written up a full response to Da Bossman's diatribe before I re-read it and saw it for the sarcasm it was. Jeez, Bossman, would it have killed you to put a smiley in there somewhere? ;)

    Thanks for the responses to my own diatribe, folks. I always enjoy and appreciate feedback on my ranty type posts.

    The response has generally been that if the story warrants it, mature and adult subject matter would be accepted, but if it's gratuitous or serves no other purpose, people would prefer it to be left out. Given the nature of the internet (and previous topics of this nature), I half expected this discussion to explode into a flaming pile of fetid goat cheese. I'm pleasantly surprised at how well-spoken y'all are in your opinions. That's both sides, and not just those who agree with me.

    Thank you all, and keep up the great discussion!

    Extendable NPCs / woes of a NWN town builder
    Maybe this is an issue to address with the NWN2 crew?

    We don't know yet if DA will have anything even related to what you're talking about.
