An ambitious project

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

I began my work on the main character.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Looks pretty good. Certainly more appropriate for an assassin kind of character than Nathaniel Hawk. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

 

[Thomas the Terror]

I am doing a reskin of Will2 at the moment for a maincharacter of this quest, but I'd like to know: is the main character also Spanish? Or is he a Frenchmen or Englishmen working for the Spanish Government.

Indeed <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> I made a new kind of armour for his back. Do you like the oval one or this one ?

Not decided about the nationality of this mercenary. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> (except he won't be Englishmen or Portuguese).
Anyway, finish your reskin of Will2. After we will decide which one will be the Mercenary ( the other character can be used as officer of this mercenary. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> )
But what pity you didn't choose the Bocman4 model <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

 

[Pieter Boelen]

I like the oval armour better; looks more interesting and less "normal".

How about a Dutch mercenary? The Dutch used to be allied with/part of the Spanish Empire. Might also be interesting if halfway into the quest, the 80 Year War between Spain and Holland breaks out and then you have to decide where your loyalties lie. Or something like that.

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

In 1665 ? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

 

[Pieter Boelen]

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighty_Years'_War" target="_blank">1568—1648</a>; bit early perhaps. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

I will choose the Dutch nationality but I won't change the date seeing this mercenary will meet Morgan, l'Ollonois and Bartolomeu..

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

By the way, what name you want for him ?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

So no Eighty Year war if you want to keep the timeline as per real history. Too bad; it could've offered some interesting story options.

BTW: What Period will the quest take place in? I'd like to have at least one storyline in each Period, if possible. Do we already have one in the Early Explorers period?

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

The date is 1665 and I can't change it if I want to make the story as I want.

For the Early Explorers period, the best solution would be a quest with Francis Drake.. but to tell the truth, I'm not motivated by this period.

 

[Thomas the Terror]

Place him in the let me think, second/third Anglo-Dutch War! I think the Spanish were hostile to the English. But, so. The character I made, is a French one:

What do you think?

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

Of course, your reskin is great but.. don't be hurt, I can't see the will2 as mercenary. When I was thinking about this quest, I was thinking of Hitman (the character not the quest) and I still think the Bocman4 is the best option. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
Until I take the decision (or Pieter <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> ) maybe you could do something about my work.

I've had some problems with the straps of the armour. I think new ones better than mine should be the best solution.
For the 3 kind of armours I want to keep the original shape, but a new texture with a new motif (maybe a trident engraved) should be great.

BTW : I repeat : <b>don't be hurt</b>

 

[Pieter Boelen]

I'm not going to decide anything; it's your quest. Thomas' version looks more like an undercover assassin while yours looks more like a tough guy assassin. One thing's for certain: If you decide to use the bocman model, Thomas' model will not go unused; we'll find a purpose for it somewhere. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

He could be officer of the mercenary. Like Emilio Soares for Bartolomeu <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/guns.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":2guns" border="0" alt="guns.gif" />

 

[Petros]

I just saw the trailer Pieter posted.

It was nice to see so many of my ships there. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="keith.gif" />

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Of course; your ships work great for the Spanish Main period. And your ugly smuggler ship is used as the main ship in the beginning of the quest too. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

Thanks Petros for your ships ! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" />

 

[Thomas the Terror]

I, I think, I need to cry <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />.

No, I understand, it's fine by me though. But I used another model, because I was not so fond of the bocman4 model. I have a whole bunch of skins of the bocman4 model, and I got them from a Russian mod, they are really nice! I could fiddle with his face if you want, and send them to you.

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

Thanks Thomas ! Maybe you could first show in this topic some screenshots of the Bocman4 made by the Russian mod,
