The Independent Order RPG Video Game Ideas

Reaching for that great Nobility title in the Sky
I'm going to be attempting to make an Independent Order video but I need Ideas for how it the story should be. I'm thinking along the line of a game similar to something like Fallout or Dragon age in terms of how conversations and combat and free roam would be and think it would be best to use an RPG open world concept using the most popular nations and nations that are assured to be in the order for a long time. The story would be in the current time period of Mundus and it would be easier to write if it focused around specific event such as a great war or some other grand event.
So please post any ideas you have of how the story should go and any name ideas for the game and I'll see what I can do.

Are you thinking an RPG-maker style game? Maybe you should make certain political figures either NPCs or playable characters, and they're all fighting to stop the Sorority from taking over Mundus?

This could take place in a turbulent time in Mundus, like a major war outbreak or perhaps a brink of major war? You're an agent sent from whatever country you choose to kill a made up illusive figure who has corrupted most of the world. You'll meet most of the RP characters and depending on your choices they can be killed or spared depending on their allegiance and your choice. You'd get to travel all over Mundus and most of all, get to murder, capture and confiscate some really disliked RP characters ^^

I have my own engine that I'm gonna be using for this Epanastasia. Neither of those are bad ideas for stories. Once we have a bunch of ideas, I'll make a poll to see what everyone likes.

The character could be an assassin who explores Mundus and is hired to kill various important RP characters

Perhaps an enourmous economic meltdown has occurred, and the people of just about every country are living in poverty, and tensions are running very high. At the beginning you could be Spec-Ops from some nation, and have to infiltrate Zachachevania, and you think they're gonna be the bad guys the whole time, but later a nuclear bomb (we could set the rules said for this I assume?) blows up in NA or Rokkenjima or something, they blame Zachachevania, and a war starts, but, later in the story, after fighting Zachachevania a short time, you uncover the secret that some terrorist organization dedicated to plunging the world into anarchy was responsible for the bomb, so you have to try (and fail b/c that's more interesting) to make peace between the nations and convince them of the terrorist's existence, and very few people will believe you, you then battle the terrorists, and any government that gets in your way.

Oh cool. I love creative projects...

Here's an idea:
Open world, with many missions, not required to complete in order, but all relevant to the final completion of the game.

Tell a story, kinda like how Mass Effect 1 (the only one I played) tells a story about many different races while still having a bit of action thrown in.

Objectives could include meeting with key characters from different countries, collecting relics/ intelligence/ weapons from those countries, and passing on top-secret information.

The story could focus on an alternate timeline where the Sorority of Materna infiltrates all of Mundus and allies with (or takes over) other dangerous terrorists organizations like the Borlanders and Neo-Potentologists (whom you will be hearing more about soon). This could happen concurrently with a global destabilization brought on by Rokkenjima supporting Le Orient as the government of Marsielle, while the other nations are split up over the other factions who claim a part of Marseille's government, as well as being fed up with Rokkenjima's imperialism and manipulation of the CTO. Many countries close their borders and police state rule is common, leading the populace to be increasingly dissatisfied. The player must reunite old allies, assassinate key opponents, sabotage WMD's and terror plots, and gather tech and weapons, all to stop a worldwide nuclear exchange (which is what the Sorority wants) and bring peace to a unified Marseille. For kicks throw in a love interest who is a former Sorority fighter fleeing from the law but trying to bring peace to her land.

AI enemies could be a smattering of bad cops, terrorists, corrupt governments, paramilitary groups, rogue spies, etc.

Oh and don't forget:


...HAVE FUN!

My idea for the title: "The Butterfly Effect" (a butterfly being a Sorority code word for their special ops fighters, whom the love interest was; and many of them will the protagonist have to face in combat (as a hard-to kill enemy later in the game)

I like Pete's, however not the sorority part so much, maybe use that as a bases but with an entirely new threat integrated because the whole Materna thing is already burnt out and dull.

But in general, I like it and I can see many loops being thrown in(for NA specifically involving the black market) Marseilles can be a part of it, just not at the centre, I'd suggest creating a new pawn nation for this or using Zimalia which has barely been used.

Maybe at the beginning you can choose what nation you represent and that affects how other nations see you. You go around during a time of crisis and ether help as different nations war with each other or form your own nations and try to conquer the world. And you can have leaders of the nation as meet able npc that you can do quest for to get better relations with them. You could also make it so you can have a following of npcs, like the game mount and blade warband
