Some Notes for my Fellow Writers
- Thread starter Savin
- Start date
Tainted Space is actually a area in the game that will be added later that is pretty much end game area. It's a heavily quarantined area of space with lots of bad shit going on (I'm only assuming this now.) Fen confirmed this at some point in the past few months, I just can't remember where it was posted or when.

No worries. A work of science fiction has never had a thing that appeared near the last quarter of its storyline be a complete non-sequitur. That would be ridiculous.
In seriousness, though, early TiTS draft docs mentioned Tainted Space as an actual place full of cosmic horrors and the like. The final product will most likely be different in at least some ways, but we'll see when we get there in ~4 years.
I remember hearing something about it being TiTS' take on the Gray Goo style apocalyptic scenario, localized and sexualised ofc. Can't remember from whom or even when I heard that exactly though.

Though speaking of superbosses, having the story duration means I can start writing one of mine...
Hey, Space-Cthulhu-Babes need a good sexing every once and a while.
Me too, "Tainted Space" would imply that something is ruining everything for everyone but everything seems fine.
There's a lot of writers here, maybe someone can open up a thread to help novice writers?
I think you should do it. i understand its complicated but everything worth doing is.
Besides, you'll be helping people like me not poke our eyes out with the pen!
@Savin
With boarding and group combat, wouldn't that also or possibly entail the possibility of who would jump in as well as the importance of who was on board as well? For example:
Anno, Syri (if or when she is introduced to join your crew), or even Emmy, seeing as she likely can fire a weapon just as well as the two aforementioned as well as being able to help pay her debt so that she can easily join you as well. Also, wouldn't that mean you can give them weapons to use as well? The same with gear, as armor or shields? Or have more storage caches on board for more items? (I've had coffee, I'm brainstorming a bit)
Not to mention (and no I'm not sure if this was covered anywhere) while talking to, I think it was Anno at one point, Steele mentions something of her coming with them and her response was along the lines of: "I dunno we have to see what fenoxo says" Which isn't an accurate quote. Though, would that mean at some point we'd be able to actually travel in a group with one of our crewmembers (not including Nova)?
I do remember that in the starting of the game, Victor did say, via post-mordem e-mail, that "you may get a new ship" so it was only a matter of time I think. Heh, kills my progress in writing a tech/mechanic-saavy Laquine that could sell or possibly modify an existing ship for fit an additional crew member at the cost of 7-15 game days! I even drew a bit of her out -even though I suck at adding color-. (also, I had a full inventory and un-equipped Nova...she then disappeared from my game,
saved before I realized it. That's where that thought came from anyway.)
Also, is there a followup on Inessa and getting her belt removed or have I missed that? Plus, will there ever be a way to cure the Laquine race of the issue when it comes to their plague-like affliction?

This has been repeatedly stated, it will never happen. Party members can assist only in certain fights, such as Anno joining the fight in the Ice Queen miniquest. This probably means some of them will help with boarding fights, but they will not travel around with you.
No.
Maybe but probably not, it's not on anyone's priority list that I know of.
Oh and looking something up on the wiki, I saw that the Gryvain had a photo and I wondered, is it possible that we'd get to see our character in full gear say when your inspecting your character or is that an bit far-fetched as an assumption?
From what I've heard and seen, Character Viewer proved to be a pipe dream that actively eats any person brave and foolish enough to try it, without providing much of anything in return.
If you give me 6 figures I will give you a character viewer.
Also to everyone who keeps complaining about it being impossible: if you look at the Custom Reido games, they made very decent character customization assets, several years ago, for less money than Fen makes. It can be done, it would just require a whole lot more money that what is currently available for assets. Of course, with all that money, it'd be better to hire Gedan and Jacques full time.

You also need someone who's dedicated and won't just up and disappear like the last FEW folks who tried it.
Disappear?
Wouldn't understand why people would up and go ghost like that - assuming they outright went full ninja despite being paid to work (assuming). But I thought more along the lines base photo, like the Gryvain I mentioned earlier, and clothing added to that for example. Much like how character's pictures are subject to change upon current scene or after a transformation (like Lerris after breast augmentation).
As for 6 figures, that is a lot of food I could get. Pizza mostly, but a lot of food. Though if my luck strikes good after I move and hit the lottery, I will let you know.

I know you were, I was just musing about the OTHER people who taken the project upon themselves only for them to mysteriously disappear.
Clearly the message to take away from this is that if we throw enough writers at something as human sacrifices, the Chosen One will stand astride their corpses and finally complete the project.
