    In a game where players can basically make their own cutscenes, this is not something heavy handed in resources. Stop telling me it’s a different engine. I know that. It’s literally a 1-2 person project to sit down, retrieve the script and footage and work on reimagining a few quests and cutscenes. The assests for all of those old characters already exist in the current game, literally nothing needs to be made anew, it just has to be shaped and organized. But okay, you guys are like totally right that every endeavor needs to always go to new content and I should just shut up and leave the topic alone.

    So speaking as a game designer this just told me you know nothing about game programming workflow. A 1-2 person project to recreate the entire 1.0 MSQ + cutscenes in the new engine. Holy shit.

    I’ve tinkered with designing my own games. Making cutscenes and implanting dialogue is not complicated. I just watched the 6 hours of cutscenes from 1.0. It is literally the same motions they use in the the current engine. I’m sorry but I’m not going to make excuses for why things can’t be done. This is a just a suggestion and if you guys don’t like it then whatever, but im not going to pretend like this would be some difficult or long drawn out process.
