Meraeador can not master his skills which is very annoing because he can be very useful if he could just Master the skills from the inventions. Also if you ever started to make anything new for Mardek 4, like we see many doors that can not be oppened then you can add it for example after we finish the game just for fun so that we can see and experience what you had in plan.
And i have a question, you said that you will also include the plot for the rest of the story, are we going to be able to know more about some of the characters that we didn't see in the game like Enki or where he was all this time?
That's all, sorry for getting carried away :D it's just whenever i see Mardek millions of ideas come to my mind, and thank you Tobias for this wonderful game i wish you succes in your next games. You'll need to be more specific about some of these suggestions.
Where should I add these items? To "a shop" is too vague, and it might be more difficult to append to shops' inventories at this point than it is to add to chests or monster drop rates. A few people have mentioned the issue with one Obelisk, but where could I add another which wouldn't trivialise the current one? I could just have that reward be two of them, but I don't know if the code will allow that. Things like fundamentally changing how a character Meraeador works are beyond the scope of what's possible, unfortunately.
The notes I'll be including should explain a lot of stuff including that, yes. Whether it'll be satisfying is another story though! Yes you are right i should be more specific about the suggestions sorry about that, so about the items i have an idea: For Wolfblade : you can make it drop after the final battle against Moric SocialFox body , i know we won't be able to use it for long on Deugan because after that he'll no longer be playable, but we can use it for a bit and than we can collect the item.
Boots of Speed: i think this item should drop once at the trapped chest in Sun Temple where we fight against Griffin seeing that griffin is one of the fastest monster in the game. Sage's Wand: should drop after Emeela's fight in 3rd chapter. Heart staff should drop after the first battle against the world saviours.
Topaz earring : this is an Air element item so it would be the best to put it on a shop on Aeropolis. Golden Circlet: i think this item should drop after beating Karnos it really rassembles his colors and the level of this item matches with the place Miasmal Citadel Weapons like Mortus or Aquila can be obtained as some sort of trophies after beating Moric and Qualna in their Annunaki form There are other weapons that you can make drop like : branchclub, dagger, curved dagger, walkingstick, revolver, taurus after beating these weapons owners.
Also About Obelisk : if you read the description of Obelisk it says : Obelisks were important cultural and religious icons in many ancient civilizations. So i think seeing that we have two ancient civilizations places Miasmal Citadel, and Dreamshrine you can make it drop in one of these maps either in some monsters or in any chest.
Also this is very important : there is a sword Mythril Sword that Mardek can automatically obtain if you start the game from Chapter 3 without playing M1 or M2, so this is really problematic because this means that anyone that will play M3 after finishing M1 and M2 will not be able to have this sword, so maybe i think you can make it drop from the bandits at Aeropolis considering that they are the only one that weild it in the game probably. Also beside gold ore there is another item that is not enough to craft all the items at Xantusia, that is Griffin Feather, if we don't have enough of that we can't make the weapon Eagle Wings.
You can just double the drop from griffin battles. That's all about the items i think please tell me if i missed something. If anyone were to drop it should either be Animus or Qualna, which aren't exactly fitting enemies to drop that item anyway, There really is no reason to put it in, it's not exactly a very flavorful item and there's no indication it's in the code since no enemies are equipped with it. Also, if there was a place to easily dump all these items it would be the Dreamshrine, there's a lot of chests in this area that contain easily farmable reagents and generic expendable items, those can all be replaced since by the time you unlock this dungeon obtained all Dreamstones you've basically finished every sidequest already.
It would also easily handwave away why these items are all there, they must have significant meaning to the prior users of those weapons. Wow, you actually implemented Wolfblade, that's so awesome! Just got it from Moric and it gotta say i was pleasantly surprised!
I'll just copy-paste my ideas about tweaking the AP needed for mastering passive skills so you can have them in this thread. This way, players can master skills without too much burnout from wearing a piece of gear that's worse than what they have in inventory right now just for the sake of mastering a skill.
One thing I do clearly remember is that the monster fang drop rate is excruciatingly low. These items just remove almost all difficulty in the Dark Temple since they give such an incredible amount of protection against the dark element. His magical damage, especially, is pretty terrible. If you could increase his base SPR by 2, I think that could help.
I cannot make extremely specific recommendations because most details are far in the past for me , but can gesture in the direction of extremely specific recommendations.
I recall the most annoying part of MARDEK 3 was its lack of conveyance when it came to key events the lost monastery, the house in the wood I don't recall exactly, I think the issue was that a very specific member of the team had to be present in your party when entering the map. I recall you added the walkthrough to the current build of MARDEK, and I think the walkthrough did get me through every side-quests back then, but it's definitely annoying to me that the answers were "out of the game" and it felt like the game incentivized me to cheat.
I think this is especially true today, where many "large open world RPGs" actively keep track of everything for you, such that it's practically impossible to miss anything. For me, the fix would be as simple as A not requiring the character to BE in the team for the event to trigger but of course forcing a team restructure if the event is taken on B Making a log when the character enters the team AFTER the area is discovered, such that the player knows there is a "quest" which puts in relation the location and the character.
The long part would have to be hunting down for segments in the game where these prompts are "added" and when they are "completed". This might be quite a bit of work, though I don't recall MARDEK having a "quest" screen , and realize this is quite larger than the specific modifications you were looking for But from my recollection, this is THE thing I had an issue with.
It's definitely a small plus I think would make the game far more accessible and sometimes more fun; I recall finding Saul late-game, causing me to almost one-shot him and earn almost no exp when fighting him. This is the kind of thing I'll be aiming to do differently in Divine Dreams, but it's not feasible to add it to MARDEK since it'd mean delving deeply into old code, potentially breaking - and therefore having to excessively test - things, and having to creatively come up with new ideas for a work I've long since moved on from.
I have played this game and I do plan to get it. Time is all over the place for me though. Someone who's got this far has pretty much already finished the game, so it seemed the best place to include this.
