Re: Noxian Nights (Updated 9/28 - FINAL CONTENT UPDATE)
have you btw gotten around to playing league yourself btw ?
last thing i heard was: you weren't familiar with the game (and furthermore: the world), so i wanted to ask if you havent played it - what was it like, reading up on a games lore without playing the game ?
Also, what are your thoughts on the general quality of the lore, from a writers perspective ?
was it obvious that the lore isnt really necessary for the game itself and acts as "just a bonus" ?
Questions answered respectively:
1) Haven't, sorry, things have been pretty busy.
2) Normally I'd be nervous to do anything like that, but with LoL I was told going in that the lore was thin and not really tied into the game.
3) It's fine? The thing about MOBAs is that the game itself has no story content. With an RPG, reading lore is not the same as getting a sense for a world and characters through many events and lines of dialogue. But for LoL, everybody is working off the same few pieces of information, so it's easier to take that and create an interpretation of a character.
4) Nomo and others told me that before I read any of the lore. I think the devs themselves said that their original lore was mostly an excuse to explain the game mechanics!
