Any news about the ETA of Castle West Weald v2?

» Mon May 07, 2012 2:05 pm

Yes, of course.
Whether I finish it or not I will release everything I make before 11.11.11 ;]

The number of interior locations almost doubled...

Woohoo!

When will it be available for me to get my grubby little paws on it?

Have no any precise idea... but possibly "sooner" rather than later*. As "only" 10 new interiors have left for me to make, then some overall tweaking, and finally a small quest to get rid of all the money your game's characters have gathered over all those years ;D

* (a month or so depends on my laziness)

The new version of the castle is really beautiful from what we can see. It would be interesting to Doue will builds upon the background of the latter and some quests rather than a simple purchase.

Thanx mucho, trollf.

I always end up with more money than things to spend it on. :thumbsup:

The kind of problem that doesn't seem to come up nearly as often in RL.

And this is how we know it's a game: because we thank you for taking all our money away and think it's fun. In real life we'd likely hate you for it (but it still happens anyway).

Somehow, I've never tried this mod out, despite it looking quite awesome. Perhaps I should wait for the next version...?

Sweeet. Another month until I can shower you with praise for the awesome update to the awesome castle.* I figure it'll be about that long before my new character has enough gold...

*Am I laying it on too thick?

It is awesome (brown-nosing aside) and perfectly usable as-is - it has a bedroom, storage, and some other stuff (it's been awhile since I was in it). The place is HUGE, and it's only half-done. I like it because of the location (just off the Gold Road between the IC and Skingrad) and the interior decorations - lots of dark green and a nature-oriented theme. Besides the castle, there are also several outbuildings for the staff and a small inn by the road (so you can crash there until you save up enough money).

err... what? O_o

No other quests than that one with the purchase. And it won't be a "simple" purchase either - as you will have to spend various amounts of money in different places and advance through the ranks of castle's faction, which will allow you to gain access to different areas over time. Well, at least that is the plan...

------------------------------------
Vac -
Good comparison, though I've seen too many threads complaining: "I have so much money! What I can do with them? Help me!". So I decided to make this "solution", alas not being so simple though...

As for whether it is worth to visit this place, well, the ORE version is more like a demo, a preview to what I have on my HDD right now... but still it contains one or two clusters of those flying particles you're so fond of them :>

------------------------------------

The place is HUGE, and it's only half-done.

Yes, it's not so small, but it's not a huge either... for me at least. The huge (or quite big if you like) is a cavern I did for this castle - http://tesalliance.org/forums/uploads/1295372279/gallery_4163_200_178940.jpg. Four levels high, and with such volume that it could easily swallow all interiors of the castle and still there would be some space left. For reference how small it isn't you have one character on the right side, and another copy of that character holds a torch where that orange light is visible in the middle of the picture. Unfortunately, due to performance reasons such distant views won't find their way into the final version :/

Ooh... that sounds like a lot more fun than just saving up 50K and dumping it all down at once.

I dunno... it's one of the largest player-owned castles I've ever seen.
