Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard

I've been wanting to mod Oblivion and making some Usagi races and NPCs, and even quests! I'm just wondering: What would the Usagi fans do?

I just can't figure out how to spell the sound you make when you pass your hand over your head indicating that your clue-less regarding something..... I have no idea what you are talking about, except that it most likely has something to do with some kind of game.

Rephrase: If any UY fan could mod Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (pc and Xbox 360 game), what would they do?

Ah Steve,

I would say "whoosh" *hand passing over my head*

But, I don't know if any of our overseas friends use the same gesture!

But I always use more of a "Fffttt" type of sound, as opposed to a whooshing sound.....

And Ralcos, just because "I" don't know my games does not mean that others here are equally game-knowledge deprived. By the way, what's an Xbox? (just joking! )

In that case I should apologize for everyone not understanding.

No no no. No apology needed. I know what you're talking about.

One of my favorite games growing up was the Ultima series on the Commodore 64. I was always trying to find a way to replay Ultima VII: Black Gate (PC), and then someone made a modified version of it on PC using the Morrowind engine (the game before Oblivion).

I think it would be absolutely amazing if you were able to mod Oblivion to express the Usagi universe, although it would take a LOT of work. I would suggest a few things:

1. Ask Mr. Sakai's permission. He is nothing but kind, and would likely have no problem with you doing this. However, it's always polite to ask when someone's life work is involved.

2. You will want to do some research into the different types of classes that exist in Usagi Yojimbo as well a the history and mythology of feudal Japan. Race is not really a factor in Usagi, but type of animal IS as far as physical attributes.

3. for character design I would suggest you first be able to pick the type of fighter class you would like to be (i.e. Ronin, Samurai, Ninja, Bandit, Mercenary, etc.) and then choose a kind of animal (dog, cat, rabbit, pig, goat, monkey). I suggest you NOT let the user be a horse or a human. That is because horses seem to be represented as beasts, and the only human in the story is Hikiji.

Anyway, sorry to dork out on you video game style. Hope that info helps with your project.

Best of luck!

no. I was just wondering what the fans would add and/or modify for that game. But thanks for the advice.

One more thing! I have the [i]Morrowind[/i] Construction kit, and I know it will take a while. Abayo!

I got the oblivion construction set! keep your eyes peeled for new topics with my name!
