Nobilis

[andrewducker]

I like gaming. I like it an awful lot. It's definitely one of my three favourite activities. I don't get to do it nearly as much as I'd like, and it sometimes doesn't live up to expectations, but when it all comes together, it's far more fun books or films are.

There's an awful lot of games out there that don't inspire me, for various reasons. That just don't inspire me with their possibilities. That don't have a metaphyiscs or a background or an ethos that make me want to live in them.

I've been looking forward to Nobilis since John showed it to me in a pub over a year ago. The whole depth and feel of the world are just inspiring, and things as simple as the margin quotes are making me want to play in a game that provokes this kind of creativity.

The game is due for release 'soon' and they've got the first chapter online. If you want to read the kind of thing that inspires me, you'll find it there.

Nobilis is one of those games like Wraith that'd be really really cool... except it'd be almost impossible to actually play and/or run. I was considering it for quite a while before deciding it'd be too damn hard for all concerned.

I haven't read Noblis, form what I hear it has some of the good bits of In Nomine...

Good bits of In Nomine?

Umm yeah.. it has two "I"s, an "O" and one "N"...

Really... I'd -love- to run it, more than most other games (except continuum).. except it'd be so hard as to be -near- impossible. More so than continuum from a running point of view. IMHO, anyhow
