    Ravensword is the best!!!

    Ok so I'm rather surprised how the forums today are sorta empty... lol
    EVERYONE'S PLAYING RAVENSWORD!!

    Ok so what I would like as an expansion:
    1. Customize your character, include goblins as a playable character. (They are my favorite characters in the whole game!!)
    2. GUILDS! You can't make an RPG without guilds...
    3. Be able to go inside any building that is within the game and own a house
    4. Thieving, be able to attack citizens in the game and get caught for it maybe? (Prison, pay a fee, or escape)
    5. A few major cities and some minor cities along with Kings, princes, queens, and other rulers
    6. Make your way upwards in society (Eventually tell others what to do)
    7. Of course an arena/minigame would be awesome!
    8. Be able to have 3 slots for characters for those of us who like trying out different ways of playing a game
    9. Travel on ships and own a horse to ride.
    10. OK and this last idea (I could have come up with more, but I didn't want to be rude): Be a soldier in an army where you have to go out into battle with NPCs and also sneak around being a "scout" or some form of responsibility like this. You could even make this be a different part of the game, such as a minigame, except not so "mini"

    And yes I think that you should make the expansion an addon where you have to pay for it because this way you will make more money to be able to make an incredible expansion!
    BEST OF LUCK TO JOSH AND RUSS!!

    BTW Ravensword is awesome... By far my favorite of all time! (until the expansion comes out)

    1. A compass!!! Or some way of having the direction you're facing, more defined. Maybe make the map screen more interactive so that the green marker moves around the map with the player & shows the direction you're facing.

    2. Def more character customization!

    3. Weapon & armor info... & maybe a world bestiary or enemy guide.

    I'd like to see huge glowing armor, awesome swords and mad magic skills with a pet companion.

    Monsters/creatures

    I'd be interested in seeing what players would like to see in the monster/creature department. I'm currently sketching up some beasties for the expansion.

    Any "must haves" for fans of the game? :)

    What I'd like to do is start updating my website with "beastie construction" news. I'll have to ask Russ and Josh is that's do-able though. They might want to hoard the new menagerie until later. :)

    For me it's all about character customization and creating a player unique to how you like or playing the same game several times as completely different characters and getting a different experience each time.

    To that I think the following are key:

    - Diverse skills that cannot all be learned by one character
    - Separate classes specialized to different set of skills (ie, mage, warrior, monk, ranger, etc..)
    - Varying playable races with different strength and weaknesses
    - Allow players to create enchanted items to further customize their skill levels
    - I would also love to see the dark arts like thieving and necormancy personally but that could be handled as a separate expansion from the others.

    Paying the developer for user-made content? How does that work?
    Doesn't make any sense to me.

    I'll just sum up every suggestion:

    Make Fable.

    :p

    I can't really add anything that hasn't already been said.

    character customization is top of ma list along with an all new equip screen as per a majority of rpgs (eg WoW).

    many more armour types, weapons and trainable skills. perhaps a fishing mini game :D

    loving the idea on co-op multiplay!

    Fable is perfect for iPhone. It features flatulence.

    First of all.

    Game looks awesome for 1.0 from a 2 person team. WOW

    Suff I'd like to see

    - Option to play female main character (we girls like to game too).
    - Skill trees
    - Direction indicator for current quest. (Borderlands does this well)
    - Direct access to the map from the main screen
    - optional mini map (vector graphics)
    - have the map blacked out for areas you haven't explored

    I have to say, I kind of agree. People should value their imaginative work more. It's okay to offer suggestions, since the real work is in implementing them. But whole stories, specific missions, etc -- that's a bit much for people to just give away.

    [Edit] I just reread what Aurora wrote, and I realize that I misunderstood. I guess the question is how much would the developers polish the user-made content before it's available for purchase.

    I would love to see an character customization, new weapons and armor, maybe different races (dwarf, animal-human mix), an online arena where your character could fight with other people's characters, evade/block command, buying houses, quest directory, maybe even shops that earn you a certain amount of gold at an interval of time, and for magic I think it would be cool to have to originally have to draw a certain symbol to cast a spell, but when you cast it X amount of times by drawing you'll have the option to press a button to cast.

    A tiny little addon that I would like... (you could even just make it a simple update) is to make night and day. Also another thing is to have the NPCs more interactive.
    Thanks!
