Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

Regarding the content of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", although only an official website has been released, with some simple text and picture information.

But for players, it is like the Chinese New Year, and the major communities and forums are discussing the content of this game.

Much of the talk has centered on what direction The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim is leaning towards.

After all, in "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption" and "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", as well as industry giants such as zeus, who have set foot in the open world, basically this type has been divided into three pieces.

The first piece is an open world with a strong plot and background like "Red Dead Redemption" and "The Witcher: Wild Hunt".

The second piece is like the open world explored by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

And at present, it is also the formula that many game manufacturers will choose. The large scene map is combined with multiple bases and multiple branches to create a so-called sense of openness.

Although it has been criticized by many players, it has to be said that there is still a market. As long as the content of the brush and the liver is not too outrageous, with excellent art and scene shaping, many players will choose to buy it.

The content is also easier than the first two, so for most game makers, this formulaic open world is the first choice.

When it comes to Nebula Games, many players have not thought that this game called "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" will be a formulaic open world.

After all, from the perspective of publicity, Chen Xu directly disclosed the type of open world. If it is this formulaic open world, it will obviously be a big blow to the reputation of Nebula Games.

For the current Nebula games, the benefits gained by damaging word-of-mouth and conducting false propaganda are completely disproportionate to the losses.

But here comes the problem, with "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption" and "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" pearls ahead, this one called "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" can still Can't reach the height of the former?

Players on the Internet are hyping it up, and I believe that "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" will not be a general open world player, there are players who keep calm and lower their expectations, and there are players who are looking down.

However, compared to a heated discussion and inquiry about "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" on the Internet.

Inside Nebula Games, Chen Xu and his team didn't pay too much attention.

Because the whole team is stepping up the development of a content for "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

"Mr. Chen, this chicken?"

Inside the team, Qin Yi, who was reviewing and calibrating, looked at a numerical setting and was a little puzzled.

"The scene design of Ximu Town, this chicken will trigger the bounty, but there is no guard in Ximu Town in the plot."

Qin Yi said to Chen Xu.

"This is mainly to increase the player's sense of substitution. In the world of Skyrim, if you commit a crime, you must pay the due price, and aren't the villagers making cameo appearances?"

Seeing what Qin Yi pointed out, Chen Xu said with a smile.

Of course, this is one reason, and the other reason is that Chen Xu felt that it would be a pity to lose this chicken.

In the previous life, "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" has a stalk that is well-known to players.

Even this stalk goes beyond the game "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" itself.

That is the great chicken **** of Ximu Town.

It is well known that the residents of Skyrim Province, in addition to visiting those demon gods with capricious personalities, secretly worship the "chicken god", and gods cannot be blasphemed, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

Among them, the clones of the "chicken god" are located in various places in Skyrim Province.

But one of the most well-known clones is Ximu Town.

People here madly worship the chicken god, and once someone does something disrespectful, they will be hunted down to the ends of the earth.

Well, of course this joke is a joke.

As Qin Yi said.

In fact, the origin of this stalk is mainly due to a scene design flaw in the previous life "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

It is not the so-called BUG imagined by the players, but mainly the omission of the map scene.

Because in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", killing an NPC or stealing an NPC's belongings will give you a certain amount of sin.

The sin value of each region exists independently. For example, if you commit a crime in city A, you will be a hero in city B, because it is not under the jurisdiction of a city lord.

If you want to wash away your sin worth, you have to go to jail or pay a fine to the local guard.

Ximu Town is a small town affiliated to Xueman City, and it is also the first novice village that players will most likely encounter after they come out.

But in this novice village, in the past life, I don't know whether it was intentional by the production team or a mistake.

That is, there are no guards in this town, although it makes perfect sense according to the plot.

That is because Ximu Town is close to the Falkreath area, and he was afraid that Nanya, the head of Falkreath, would think too much, so Uncle Barr did not send guards to Ximu Town until news of the giant dragon appeared.

The plot is the same, but the map design is different, because if the player commits a crime during this period, there is no way to pay the fine to atone for the crime, and there is no way to go to jail.

The key is that at the gate of Ximu Town, there is a big rooster pacing back and forth.

It is so conspicuous, its pace is so arrogant.

So many players can't help but kill it when they see this chicken.

And that's a big mess.

The sin value was obtained, but there was no way to atone for it, so the players had to face the angry villagers who swarmed up.

The first death of many players was not at the hands of giants, devils, or dragons.

It was because of a seemingly harmless chicken that gave the first life.

So despite the revisions to most of the content in The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, there are still some flaws to fill.

However, Chen Xu still kept the setting of the "chicken god" in Ximu Town.

Of course, it must not be kept as rudely as in the previous life, after all, it will make the player look confused.

Here, Chen Xu also gave a set of procedures. When Larov, who was accompanying him, invited Longyi to Ximu Town, he would remind him through dialogue, and he would also remind him kindly when he arrived at the entrance of Ximu Town.

At this time, if the player attacks stubbornly, then the villagers in the game will come out to serve as a cameo guard to compensate the dragonborn for killing the chicken.

It will not be too heavy compensation, after all, players will also collect some coins during the previous escape from Helgen Fortress.

Of course, if there is no or reluctance, then players will have to enjoy the iron fist of the villagers in the country.

A dragonborn's life, if he did not die because of a chicken, then this dragonborn's life is a regrettable life, and cannot be called a legend.
