Top 10 Things

[NathanKell]

What are the ten best/most-important things in the build for you?

{ Please skip things that were already in stock POTC though. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> }

They don't have to be big, and they don't have to be (terribly) specific--though something like 'more freedom' is a bit too general, a'course. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

What defines the build for you?

 

[Mr. Cotton]

Every pistol has its own sound
More realistic cannons
More weapons

Can't think of more yet, but its generally much better now.

 

[Inez Dias]

I'm of course biased, and my opinion thus not really relevant here, but to get the discussion going - for me it's all the new things to see:
- new skins for ships and people
- new models
- new locations (like blacksmiths' shops, opium den and
apothecary)
- new items with the wonderful pics, and the blades in
different qualities with *their* wonderful pics

also (what we don`t have enough of yet):
- new quests

then
- the ability to change your own and your officer's models.
(Girls do like to play with barbies <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />)
- difficulty levels

Among the things that were discussed but not yet fully implemented, I'm most looking forward to
- more realistic item trade
- particularly the sneaky trader mode

And, as far as modding is concerned, I like best:
- the console!

That's ten, so I won't mention all the rest that comes to mind.

[Mr. Cotton]

Oh yes. I forgot all those new models. They're great.

Aside from <i>in</i> the game, the Build is the top thing because I get to know you lot a bit more and share in a creative effort. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

I love all the new character/ship models/skins; everyone has been doing such a wonderful job with them! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

I enjoy anything that gives me something NEW to do in the game, such as new quests, or quests that were broken but now fixed to play through.

Speaking of playing through, I am happy that we can play past the end of the main quest!!!

New locations/islands are also really terrific - more room to play!

New or modified weapons are great, although I don't really care much for the dearth of rusty old decrepit blades that one has to put up with in order to play the new weapons mod...

That said, having the blacksmith is wonderful! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

I love the idea of the apothecary and the tattoo parlor and opium den - Alan, are you still working on the curiosity shop and Clement's laboratory? I'd like to see those!

I am happy to see ships moored in the harbor and enjoy watching the fort battle with someone - and it's even better if I can salvage and rescue after the battle - put a little something in my pocket and raise my reputation... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

The Coastraiders/Coast traders mod is truly great - anything that puts more shipping under my guns has my hearty acclaim!

This last one is probably the best - I enjoy working with all of you on the Build, and enjoy seeing everyone working together and helping each other towards a common goai - to make PotC a better game!

You are the best! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wavarr.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":warr" border="0" alt="wavarr.gif" />

 

[High Sea Lass]

That means you too, Cat!

What I do hope to is to add some more "role-playing atmosphere", but I have a lot to do before I can tinker with quests or dialogue that is just there for flavour rather than monetary rewards. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/oops3.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="ops2" border="0" alt="oops3.gif" /> Why thank you, Lass! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

I love the idea of improving the dialogs as you've mentioned. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> One of the things I've enjoyed it doing subtle little things to the dialog I've worked on, to get it a little more characterized to the person speaking. For example, in my Fred Bob quest I tried to put in a little Spanish or French (simple stuff) to help bring it home that you are talking to a Spanish Lady or a French pirate... Or of course with the most valuable help of Fred Bob, a Cajun pirate! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> I even tried to make Ines's dialog (albeit brief) rather on the salty side - to tie in with her character. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" /> Makes a difference, I think!
