Galadriel

<< < (27/41) > >>

Walküre:
I'm very glad to hear that  ;)

I guess that we might still need other people's opinions to have this concept polished even more. Yes, though, I too feel that we are in the right direction; and I'm eagerly waiting for Odysseus to participate as well  xD

DrHouse93:
Awesome idea, Walk! The Terrible Galadriel's form without CGI is awesome, too^^

Walküre:
I finalised one additional aspect of the graphical side of this proposal. These are the icon-pictures I think would fit very well for the whole feature and the abilities presented; I will also update the main concept by matching each power with smaller versions of the said images. I hope you will like them very much  ;)

Ambitions from Ancient Times


1. Eerie Aura


2. You Have no Power!


3. Banishment into the Void (This one is probably my favourite).


Another great issue to face is the actual graphical appearance of Galadriel while she's in this form: I think they could modify the current ordinary model and make it resemble the non-CGI concept art of Seaweed Galadriel (with adding, maybe, a minor-size blue-ish aura as the one of the Dark Queen). Not having been provided with clear indications regarding these matters and the whole suggestion itself, I would then prefer to wait for other people to participate and give their contributions (especially on balance and gameplay).

Odysseus:
Well, what can I say Walk? The amount of time and work you spend on your proposal are quite apparent, and I do really enjoy that, as per usual. However, I am torn inbetween the two options. This more cinematic interpretation of Galadriel looks amazing, but I do really like the current Galadriel as she complements the faction's design greatly.

Walküre:
First of all, thank you very much for the compliments. I'm really happy that you appreciate the concept and its relative different sides  :)

I do understand your point very clearly. I had often been unsure about the possibility to propose this suggestion in the past and questioned its very legitimacy as an enriching feature for the game: many people disliked the BOTFA rendition of Galadriel and the whole grotesque atmosphere lying behind the Dol Guldur sequence, mainly due to her controversial appearance according to PJ's view (known as 'Seaweed Galadriel' for the reference to seaweed and to water/sea). That didn't stop me, though, from doing some researches based on lore-sources and trying to find my way through the particularity of these matters, so that I could eventually hope to present a valid proposal despite the initial difficulties.

As I pointed out in my previous comments, the whole new feature explores Galadriel's millenary ambitions and the obscure yet never evil side of her personality that always accompanied her since the Exile from Aman. I think it would be absolutely great to implement this trait in the game and that it would surely benefit the Lady of Lothlórien, perfectly in line with the Edain Mod's standards. Normal Galadriel, the Dark Queen, Blessed Galadriel and Seaweed Galadriel would equally be part of Lórien, each of them having its fair proportionate role in accordance to the known criteria (lore, cinematographic prominence, gameplay and so on).

I share your same opinion on the ordinary Galadriel: she fits greatly in the faction and her design is one of the most lore and gameplay accurate ones in the game. But, I also really consider that 'wild' element of hers absolutely worth being added, in order to give even more value to her essence and more value to the faction as a whole. The abilities proposed would exactly complete her central supportive nature, granting the player the concrete opportunity to turn support into interference, and to resolve the heroine's weakness towards heroes and monsters in very difficult contexts (bearing in mind that such choice is characterised by defined restrictions and inevitable risks).

I assure you that I put all the efforts I could to come up with something that wouldn't disrupt Galadriel's primary premises as a hero (given that the normal form will remain of paramount importance), but rather being complementary to it; a favourable chance to get really close to her psychological characterisation when she is not tested yet and to refer to that intense witchcraft-motive present in BOTFA. No way will Galadriel ever become a mass-slayer or offensive hero (that is, a poor surrogate of the Dark Queen), nor is anything of this suggestion to be centred on lore abominations. This addition deserves to be part of the diversified Edain universe and I hope everyone will see the deep purposes behind (that makes it well greater than something which needs to be added for the sake of adding). I admit I spent some good deal of time and energies in this proposal, and I did it even more everytime I indirectly dealt with similar themes on this forum; approximately, since my very first post on MU, I guess  :D

Let's give Galadriel the final cherry on top of the cake that every leader justly ought to be endowed with, in a reasonable combination among lore, gameplay and cinematographic atmosphere (factors that were at the heart of wonderful concepts as Sauron's iconic stance-system and Elrond's mount). I fortunately managed to provide some of the actual work in advance, having at hand the needed pictures and sounds (German and English). All of this is nonetheless in the Edain Team's precious hands. I will also try to gather other opinions here, if I may do it, because I really deem them vital for the development of the very debate  ;)
