Hi there,
Some of you know me from the old bsn a couple years ago, I used to mod DA:I/MP for fun and made some videos about my progress.
Over the past year the Frostbite tools have gotten much better, to a point where the modding possibilities have expanded significantly.
I know modding is taboo, but done in the right way it could make the multiplayer experience more fun.
Some ideas that are actually feasible right NOW:
- Port the heartbreaker enemy abilities to lower difficulties
- Create harder difficulties
-- (eg. enemies would be level 50, final boss level 200)
- Give enemies more base abilities, similar to Heartbreaker (eg. Make
enemy Archers be able to do leaping shot, or Heavies do dragon rage)
enemy Archers be able to do leaping shot, or Heavies do dragon rage)
- Create your own factions (eg. wilderness faction, boss faction)
- Spawn more dragons (instead of 1) in Ferelden Castle
- Make the dragon in FC on steroids, make it bigger, stronger, toss more elemental boulders, give him more abilities
- Create your own character builds ; instead of pre-established ability trees (eg. Reaver now has Saarebas Leap)
- Re-introduce singleplayer abliities (Resurgence, Wall of Ice, Resurrect, Cloak of Shadows, Rally, Thousand cuts, Mark, Aegis, Discharge)
- Re-introduce unused abilities (Speedboost, Turret, Rapidfire, ReflectiveBubble, etc.)
- Create a horde mode / change the wave system (eg. Auto trigger wave 5 right off the bat, teleport players to the end zone, spawn infinite reinforcements)
Ideas that need the tools to get just a bit better:
- Add entirely new characters, eg. Play as the Demon Commander
- Port enemy/AI abilities to be playable
- Create your own maps/Arenas to fight enemies in (eg. Castle in the sky)
Of course I haven't listed all the possible ideas, but that's just off the top of my head. Post suggestions if you have any. If you don't think it's a good idea to do these mods, let me know why.
