Brandon Sanderson / Re: Mistborn as a Video Game
« on: July 05, 2008, 05:09:04 PM »
I actually think that this would work as an MMO.
I saw many people earlier just put the topic off and not discuss it,
saying that it just wouldn't work.
However,
if you look at online Star Wars games,
Star Wars Galaxies,
they have many classes,
and not everyone becomes Jedi.
I think the main thing people were seeing as a problem was that everyone would want to be Mistborn.
I don't think this would be a problem if we had all the Misting abilities as classes,
especially if the leveling system,
when you're a Mistborn,
would make you pick and choose which abilities to level up.
That would cause them to have to spread out their points,
whereas regular Mistings could pump everything into their one ability.
This would balance things out,
as well cause not too many people to be Mistborn,
only the hardiest gamers would want to play them,
and they would take quite a while to play correctly.
