      Tell me if this is a lame idea for a game. You are a creature (I haven't decided what kind yet, but not a dragon) who was thrown out of society and you go back for revenge. Your main quest would be to kill the man who threw you out, but there will be plenty of side quests.

      Also, you are not portrayed as evil. In fact, the humans are made to be evil.

      sounds like it could be a well done stealth game

      Just don't make the character average in appearance/un-cool/visually mundane....perhaps make it so that the main character has been plotting this for sometime, that way he has an excuse to have skills/weaponry.

      I'd also avoid the evil society,just make him an outlaw who has to avoid being turned in, and the only evil person being the guy who threw him out.

      I would have a problem with that. The man didn't try to kill me, he simply pushed me out of his society. Why would I want to kill him if I am not evil? You're not taking an eye for an eye, you're taking an eye for a hangnail. Doesn't work for me.

      you professed that as if that would make instant sense/divine recognition to all whom read.
      Perhaps you should explain.

      Either way Rubber Ducky is right, what's the character's motive for wanting to descend into hunting, stalking, and slaying a man just for putting him in exhile...did he take waway his business and assets, separate him from his family, attempt to silence him for discovering his evils, catch him in the act with his daughter...either for the love of money, or for the love of love.

      Good point, ellrx. I'll think of something.

      Yes. I study history as an interest of mine and even I didn't get that.

      You have something good to explore with why was this creature living in a human society in the first place. Can he easily pass as human in appearance like Superman, or is he more like an orc, troll, walking tree, or talking head of cabbage? This may relate to the humans wanting him around or not. An evil society can work. For example, Nazis had no trouble with the idea of removing non-Nazis from their society. How powerful is the creature? The villagers tend to break out the torches and pitchforks when someone big & strong comes to town. 🙂

      i know what im about to say has done before but not ever heavily explored in details. it mostly comes from barbarian lores, kinda conanish, beast masterish. basically, says theres a evil coup in a land. like the powers of evil or underpinnings break out and take over a slightly underdeveloped society. the size of the society isnt too big but not overly small either. these powers that be then maybe go on a killing spree of the strongest leaders of the previous society and maybe they just happen to be your parents. thier killed, blah blah blah, you end up getting sneaked out by a nanny type, your raised somewhere else, maybe by sypathizers, maybe by common folk. then later when you grow older maybe you join the military as a poor warrior or maybe your trained by a wise old man. then maybe you go back in spite like batman at having the vision of his parents kiled in front of him (or ala conan) or maybe wise old man or creature tells you what happened and you go back to said land out of curiosity and are sucked into fighting maybe from a family getting roughed up by the oppressive regime or something else that triggered your skills then you are subject to playing out a role of robin hood maybe where you stay and fight, learn more about these horrible regime then maybe your hatred kicks up a notch when you see the former advisor now king who screwed your family over etc and how he lives so liberally amongst such pain caused to the villagers. there really is a lot of ways to go, where really one single event can set you crosseyed, your sucked into the wrong fight and you can run with it or just walk away. also do you want your character to be like conan/batman who you know will never settle down and can know no peace or do you want the more hapless warrior who will fight like mad so he can settle down and be ever vigilant?

      When I was posting my idea, I was thinking along the lines of 'you're a scary looking monster-thing and the people with whom you lived among didn't take kindly to your type and decided that you weren't fit to live with them.' Like the Nazis or whatever.

      Or mabey I could make it like there was a whole lot of monster-things living in this place until the leader of the humans (like the Nazis) killed all of the monster-things but you managed to escape and hide in a cave. For years you trained and trained until you were ready to seek revenge.
      (Sorta like the first idea, but different)
      i know that doesn't make sense.

      It needs more of a story line and more to do. Is there something to stop you or is there anything exciting in the game???.

      What are you using to make the graphics....Not just the default Coldstone graphics are you????

      I'm not using the Coldstone graphics. I got my friend making them.

      There is more to the game, I just gave you the very basic plot.
