More dialogue screens

[Vault Dweller]

2 more screens. Comments are welcome. How are the wall/floor textures? Misc stuff? The models are work in progress, don't pay much attention yet.

I think there's too much unused space, maybe you could put something under the window? Looking good, though. With some shadows or such put in, it would look very nice.

[Vault Dweller]

Torque doesn't handle indoor shadows very well, some workaround is required. The outdoor shadows are nice and very shadowy.

As for the space, we'll put some crap there. We need more space for longer NPC speeches though.

Looks like a Mayang floor texture you got there, thats a brilliant site, i use it all the time.

Everything looks good, shadows would definately add depth.

I can't think of anything negative about these. I love the kind of smart-ass dialogue options seen in Arcanum, Fallout, Bloodlines and Torment. Good to see you're implementing them too.

[Pr()ZaC]

I liked them. Need a little AA or higher res but they're ok! 8-)

It's a little hard to distinguish punctuation against the background with the font you're using, though. The period is what? One pixel in size?

A dialogue scrollback buffer would still be nice, but otherwise things look great.

I agree with Psilon about the punctuation, and it also breaks the flow when Loremaster Feng doesn't contract "you are" to "you're" and such, but then he still says "House Daratan's business" instead of "the business of House Daratan". Makes it a bit difficult to get a good grasp on how he's actually supposed to talk. Does he need to speak slowly and deliberately so that he has time to come up with enough condescending insults? Other than that the dialogue kicks ass.

I think the textures look too light. If it's indoors everything should probably look a lot darker. I don't think that there's too much empty space though. It looks quite cluttered to me.

And skin colour on Feng is still too orange. (Hey, that wasn't much attention, was it?)

Feng is obviously oriental, so his color is fine.

At first glance I thought the textures/room seemed too bright. Looking at it for a little while more, I'm not too sure. Looks good in any case.

The textures for the table and bookshelf look pretty good, as well as with the floor. The only problem I have with is the dialogue. Asterisks just don't look right when it comes to having them in dialogue like that.

I'm wondering how it would look like if you changed a few things and added quotations.

Another edit that replaces the short moron indicator with a longer one.

[Vault Dweller]

I don't really care about adding quotations and replacing * lines with something else like "you show him the map" or "take a look at this map". That's cosmetic stuff. If most people here like it, we can change it - not a problem.

I don't like the "you demonstrate your knowledge of lore..." line though, that doesn't fit very well into the conversation flow. There are dialogue lines where you have to prove your knowledge and be specific (sorta like some Myron-related lines in FO2), but this is a short comment that leads to a more specific branch. Something like if you realize that a person shares your interests/background, you would indicate that you are familiar with the subject without trying to prove right away that you actually know what you are talking about. At least that's how I see it.

The dialog lines are great. Can you explain each option, VD? Like what it leads to, what's the difference, etc? Thanks.

Second the awesomeness. One thing though puzzles me a bit. You have a [lore] check on the like "A fellow loremaster? What a s!urprise", which would, I assume, indicate that you will do a skill check to decide the response to that line. I don't think there's too many ways one could respond to that, other than enthusiastically or skeptically. Either way, running a skill check on the *indication* of an interest is weird.

Pipe-dream: that line should check for your *reputation* as a loremaster (Feng would probably pass, being a loremaster himself), which would then lead to him accepting you as his equal (even if you aren't, and had the reputation from bluffing before) until proven otherwise, OR to him saying "LoreMASTER, eh? well, what is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? " and generally require you to prove yourself to him. Much more dynamic

A simpler alternative would be to have the line "A fellow loremaster? What a surprise!" from the PC, to which Feng responds with "Eh? What do you know about lore anyways?" Then the PC could go '[lore] You glance at a shield on the wall. "Well, I know that your shield there is a cheap copy of the original. Where'd you get that, Turania marketplace? Five gold, maybe?" '

Then again, tracking reputations does rule.
