What do you think about my Idea?

[Candyman5]

I have always had a Idea for a WW2 RPG type game. Kind of like Oblivion/COD mix. Where they would start you off storming the Beaches but like set it up where you could talk to all you soldiers there. Of course their responses on the beach would be "Get the hell out of here" or "Are you ****ing Crazy, get down and shut up" Etc. Well one objective could be, Meet up with the Sergeant at the end of the beach. Well on the way up the Beach you would find fellow Comrades either hurt or Pinned down on the beach and you could choose to whether to help them or ignore them. When you get to the sergeant he would give you another Obj. like, Take this team and clear out the MG nests. Well while you do that, everyone on your team can die, and on thier side there would be no longer the unlimited enemies that come from no where. Thats just a section of my idea. If anyone has something they would like to add to it, be my guest. What you think?

Lol, well I was going to say that you have a Certain weight that you can cary and through your "Adventures" you can pick up different items like weapons and etc. It could also have a Fallout 3 like Perk system. I think all this would work beter in a Modern Combat type game. Where then you could find money and sell guns to a "Black Market" type NPC and get Upgrades and stuff to your Body Armor, Helmet, Guns, Etc. You would have a Strength skill for how much you could cary, Medic stat for restoration, Maybe something like a Repair skill for fixing you weapons, Etc. In a WW2 it would be kind of hard to do anything like that and have a different outcome at the end depending on your decisions considering there was only one outcome to WW2.

How can you forget an accuracy stat for each weapon type?

Not sure you'd need a carrying capactiy attribute since you shouldn't really be carrying that many different types of weapons during WWII. Maybe a few health kits, but what else?

Yeah, that is why a Modern Combat thing would be a beter choice.

How do you picture it 'playing'?
action orientated like a Mass Effect, middle of the road like a VATS kinda thing, or totally turned based like the classic X-Com?

Re: What do you think about my Idea?

I guess that could be cool....maybe have a game where the beginning is the first battle, and then after that you can be however you like. You fight that first battle (like leaving the vault in Fallout 3) and then you could choose to be a turncoat and do stuff for the enemy.

I'm not sure how the map would be set up, leading you to tons of side quests and whatnot, not sure war lends itself to that as much as a city/area like Fallout 3.

Interesting idea though.

Re: What do you think about my Idea?

Would you be able to secretly decide to kill your own squad and join up with the Nazis?

Story twist could be that the Germans then turn against you, or the Americans seek revenge on you...

As for the element if you set it in France there were tons of occupied refugees/civilians around during the invasion. At least this is what "Saving Private Ryan" taught me.

Perhaps you could do quests for them?

I don't know....

Yeah exactly like this, There would be choices in the game that would decide the outcome, whether its WW2 choices like deciding to kill refugees or help them, whether to let people surrender or kill them, or whether to be a undercover agent to the Axis. The one thing I wouldn't know what to do with is what you could do about selling stuff and upgrading weapons. That would make more since in a Madern Combat type espect. For someone else who asked earlier it would be like Fallout 3 without Vats. First or 3rd person included.
