Fire Daemons

[sparhawk]

I was just thinking, we haven't discussed the fire daemons and maybe we could also use some other daemon like creatures apart from zombies. Can we get some concepts for them?

[oDDity]

What the hell are fire demons, and what place have they in this game?

None, as far as I'm concerned.

[sparhawk]

You should play Thief a little bit to see them.

I guess spar means fire elementals from thief 1:

 

flying fireballs that fire smaller fireballs at you

[Springheel]

If you mean fire elementals, they'll just be a particle effect, and they can use the animations of those flaming heads (attacking by actually flying at you rather than shooting missiles). Any other demons FM authors want can probably be made using existing D3 demon models. Not a priority for us though.

In Thief Gold there were fire humanoid monsters as well. If you killed them you got a fire arrow. I think they were added since you needed a fire arrow to finish the mission in.. what was it, the lost city mission?

 

Edit - And by that I mean that they didn't really add to the gameplay, and.. they kinda sucked

[oDDity]

Doens't matter if they added nothing or sucked - all of the weird-shit woo fest that made up the population of T1 added nothing and sucked, but if they were in Thief then we have to include them as well...

I'm just glad LGS didn't include wookies and a panzer tank upgrade, or some of you would be falling over each other to get those in the game as well.

Quit going with the whole "OH LGS DID IT SO YOU FUCKERS GOTTA LIKE IT TOO" argument. You might've not like Thief 1 because of the woo, but I liked it best for that very reason.

 

I don't care what LGS did or didn't do, I want woo in the game because I like the woo. Though admittedly the fire elementals are kinda low on my personal priority list.

[god_is_my_goldfish]

If we did do one, it would be best as something that has a look of anguish and pain face on it's smouldering face, like the fire it was made of was constantly causing intense pain to it.

 

 

That is if we were to do them that is

[Springheel]

I don't see any need to do anything other than a simple fireball-type. We don't have to create everything a FM author might conceivably want to use. Even the fireball types are very low priority, but will probably be pretty easy to do.
