While hashing out the Play system, we came to the conclusion that it would be quite easy to make a customizable Play System rather than the default hardwired Plays that we originally envisioned. I drew most of the heroes names from the ones I knew from my childhood, told to me by my father and grandfather. One of the names is actually an homage to my favorite animator and storyteller in Japan. You ll have to figure that one out. Players will be able to make their own weapons and armor in Throne of Darkness.
Players essentially take a base armor, and add the magical features they want.
Players will also be able to make items from scratch, forging them out of old items that are discarded and given to the Blacksmith. When players grab weapons from fallen enemies these items will be tainted by the Dark Warlord s evil and will have to be purified before they are equipped. Only magic weapons will actually be tainted. The actual inventory isn t very large, because most items will be either given to the blacksmith or offered to the gods. Over the last couple of years RPG fans have really been spoiled with quite a few quality titles having been released for both the PC and the console systems.
