 Old man, Gunsmith, has created Spur, an artifact gun!

 Edit: Don't really look terribly like mimigas. And are demons going to be replaced with wearers of the demon crown?

They look more like the mushroom guys or the robots.

And I'm glad I'm not the only person to ever think of this mod.

That game made me saaaaaaad.

Especially when you play it through the first time and don't know how to save anyone.  I make a point of using King's sword a lot - he died to give it to me, I may as well be appreciative.

Speaking of which, why are so many graphics made out of King, instead of the stock farmer mimiga?  Of course, they're only four colors, so I can modify it myself.

And (because of various programming quirks) dwarves are kinda stupid. Granted, so are the other races. But still.
And yet these stupid dwarves are going to eventually make a nuclear weapon out of cheese and basalt.

 But what shall replace the goblin civ? If you do it from the perspective of the Mimigas, then it would be the robots. From the robot perspective... who knows? Monsters?

 Demons should be replaced by normal creatures wielding the demon crown. And crossbows to Poler Stars.

 And damn, that game really got to me at the end of the normal playthrough, when it cuts to Curly... Then I found out about Hard Mode.

 I braved hell to make sure that scene would not be repeated.

 Well gee, who did save her on their first playthrough?

 Now how to mod in a unique weapon to make the Spur possible...
 BFG my butt, THAT gun should be the top videogame weapon of all time.

I cant believe I haven't actually finished the game yet, according to me this universe contains two good games, and one I haven't finished yet and the other I don't play either, I SHOULD, I actually feel bad about not doing it, but I just never give myself the time...

wait, you can actually DO something to save these people other than finish the game linearly?

 How to get the redemption ending:
 
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 Now mind you I left out some stuff you will encounter, but this is just to save Curly. Everything else is not noteworthy in that reguard.
