PEACEFUL_CHAOS'S PROFILE

Yeah that sounds good, too, and yeah many games have guilds that you can join, but these guilds usually don't have a huge impact on your character.

In many, many RPGs you will have those certain human villains, that when you defeat them in battle, they run away, teleport away, or laugh at the pitiful damage you've dealt them and say they'll let you live for now.

I would like a spin on this. After you've "defeated" them and they try to get away, either the hero or one of his entourage hurls a bladed weapon at the enemy, either stabbing them in the back, or decapitating them.

The Legend of Dragoon was some-what like this. Dart ended quite a lot of boss battles with a finishing blow. It's a little different as the enemies weren't usually running in these cases, but I like the fact that Dart actually goes for victory rather than stand around and wait to see what happens.

Another thing I enjoy, which I sadly do not see in many games are medievil games based on war where you're part of a faction and you rise in ranks and power. Sure, there are some RPGs where you're part of an army, but something will always happen where you're kicked out, or you'll find out that the army you're working for is some big bad evil.

It would be awesome if at the start of the game you could either join up with a faction, or are already part of it as a low rank, and through optional missions you could increase your fame and rank in the militia. Since it's optional, you could complete the game without ever ranking up. Ranking up could change how people treat you.

Some people obviously would hate you the more renowned you become, and others would praise you for your work. Being at a higher rank could unlock sidequests, shops, areas, free transport, skills, and there could be extra characters to recruit you based on your rank.

Oh how I wish I were a game designer..Having ideas with no talent saddens me.

Is it required to play Legion Saga games from 1 to 3 to understand them?

I am confused by your confusion.

I agree with you both. I do enjoy a good story, but having said that..I don't care how good the story is, the gameplay needs to be decent atleast. Gameplay is the most important aspect of a game. I prefer to have both an excellent battle system and story, though. Most of the time it seems as if I cannot have both.

Without the combat, it's not really a game (at least, not an RPG - its more like an adventure game). Most of the fun for me is derived from preparing my party for battle, fighting that battle, and getting stronger so I can do it again.

I totally agree with you brother, but do you think we're in the majority? I doubt it.
