DragonFlames Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I have seen weirder stuff in my life, I think. To what extent can you give your protagonist special abilities without them immediately crossing into Mary Sue territory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonFlames Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) I don't drink alcohol on principle, so no. Why is Warriors All-Stars so weird?

Hawkwing Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Uh... what were you expecting from a dynasty warriors games that has characters from... Toukiden? ...Atelier? ...Oppona? ...Nobunyaga no Yabou? Dead or Alive is here? Ninja Gaiden?! I don't even know how to pronounce some of these, much less know what they are, but the visuals tell me enough. What else were you expecting from a warriors game that mixes realistic characters with cartoony ones? They'll never run out of ideas for this series, will they? 13 hours ago, DragonFlames said: To what extent can you give your protagonist special abilities without them immediately crossing into Mary Sue territory? Make sure that their abilities make sense for the story in question, and the crisis they face requires said abilities. You can have someone win the superpower lottery, but people won't complain if they're facing galactic conquer level threats where they have to use all their powers to defeat it. They would, however, complain if the most interesting thing the character does is fight crime, as it's squandering their potential and not giving them a challenge. Also, people will complain more about a characters, well, character, than their abilities, although being extremely powerful highlights how interesting a character is depending on how they use them.

DragonFlames Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Probably.

What else were you expecting from a warriors game that mixes realistic characters with cartoony ones? They'll never run out of ideas for this series, will they? To be honest, I got the game just because I heard Arnice and Christophorus from Nights of Azure were in it. I love the other characters as well, though, even without having played their home series. One thing's for sure, though: Nothing will ever be more hilarious than putting Arnice, Lu Bu, Honoka, Nobunyaga Oda, Sophie and Ryu Hayabusa in the same party. And I am now officially interested in the Atelier games. When I'm done with this one, I think I'll give that series a try. 9 hours ago, Hawkwing said: Make sure that their abilities make sense for the story in question, and the crisis they face requires said abilities.

Yup, will keep this in mind! Thanks! Why is it that people complain when it gets warm during summer and when it gets cold during winter?

DragonFlames Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Depends on your Dungeon Master and / or circle of friends. I once played as Owain for a D&D campaign with a few friends some years ago and they were cool with it, since we also had Master Chief, Dragonborn, Ezio and Commander Shepard (our theme was video game characters we like). Let me tell you, it was hilarious. How do you close a window? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
