I'd totally would love to see a mod or even just a world created to look and feel like something out of Eragon (The books). I always wanted to shape a Farthen Dur "Our Father". A small lush valley with a river surrounded by gargantuan mountains leading up too the great hollowed out beast known as of course Fathehen dur and within it a whole land and a city; Tronjheim the great Dwarven capital of Alagaesia.

Yeah thats clouds inside the freaken mountain and that is WITHIN a mountain, I want to make that. Even though the city don't look as much, it's what on the inside that counts and underground. I recommend reading the books.

a) The modding section is that-a-way
b) Shitstorm incoming. Or maybe not.

Calling in the orbital magma cannon!

[Max White]

We have mods now? Toady is really more of a guy that we adore and respect waaaay too much to go against the wishes of...

[Silfurdreki]

I think he's referring to a mod as modification (of DF, in this case, maybe?) rather than moderator. Not entirely sure though.

At any rate, isn't this in the wrong forum if he's asking for a DF mod or world?

[miauw62]

Yup, should be other games (games you wish exsisted) or DF modding.

He has a thread there too.

Not a terrible mistake, all things considered. Now, while I seriously doubt we'd get a real flamewar with the semi justifiable problems with Inheritance.


Anyone read the fourth one? I never got around to it.

Nope, same here. The third dragged on too long with too much angst for my taste, so I never got around to read the fourth one.

[Dutchling]

The elitist Elfs killed it for me. And the general absurdity of the magic system.

The third one is with some large battle and the main char failing horrible right?

[Flying Dice]

I stopped reading after the second book because of a combination of the painfully cliched everything, the "borrowed" and "inspired by" everything, and the fact that it felt like a badly written fanfic of what it might have been if the guy had been a competent author.

I liked the fourth one, probably better then I liked the third one. The ending ranks in at the second most anticlimactic one I've ever seen in a book though.

The bad guy blows himself up. Like you see him for a total of like 10 pages during which he royally beats all of our heroes' asses before promptly blowing himself to bits.

Sooo...

[i2amroy]

The most anticlimactic was for a book trilogy called "The Rhapsody Trilogy".

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Apparently halfway through the third book the author decided that she was going to write another 3 books afterwards using the same characters (though they aren't part of the same trilogy). They suddenly find out that the big bad is hiding in some random church, sneak in, and kill him in the space if like 5 pages... 150ish pages from the end of the book. Even the description of him dying is so lacking in details that it took me another 50 pages or so to even figure out that the guy who died back there was really the big villain. It was so anticlimactic that I kept expecting "the real bad guy" to show up for an awesome showdown but he never did. The author then spends the remaining pages setting up a bunch of loose plot ends to continue in the next books.

The whole encounter made me think what it would be like if you have been fighting your way through all these crazy-powerful guards into an extremely guarded citadel and found an old dude sitting asleep in a wheelchair who wouldn't be strong enough to fight you if he wanted to.

I'm a staunch anti-shurtugaler.

That's all I have to say on Eragon.
