Character Creation
Added 2017-08-31 07:24:46 +0000 UTC
Larry's "character" clothing, and the "Really Old Scroll", are nods to The Elder Scrolls series, and I think a running theme of starting the games as a prisoner? I know it's the case in the fourth and fifth game, but I don't know if that was continuing a trend or beginning one.
Anyway, this comic wound up way more complicated than I expected it to be, mostly because I didn't think through how many steps it would take for the premise of character creation to actually work. You can't just be like BAM! Form selected. It's a gradual thing that demands a bunch of steps, and wound up needing three pages minimum with a bunch of panels to work.
So, yeah, a bit more complicated than the average comic that will be seen, here, though some will easily be two pages.
EDIT - Corrections to third comic

I don't think I've ever mentioned this, but this is prooooobably my favourite pinup you've done. Like, ever. Though I *am* out of date by a year or so(going through the archives now, hence the comment!) and there's always the possibility something made even after all this will blow me away!

2017-09-03 15:08:07 +0000 UTCI have made female characters for the few MMOs I've bothered playing for that very reason. To mangle a line from PVP, "Hey, if I'm going to stare at a virtual butt for several hours, it might as well be a good looking one. ":) I teamed up with a female player in Guild Wars who felt the same way. She said, "You can have your cheese and I'll take the beef."

2017-09-02 02:03:44 +0000 UTCNeed more Aussie accents in general. Was so hyped for Shadow of War since it has an Aussie orc/ogre/whatever in one of the trailers... aaaaaand then they announced that the game would have microtransactions.

2017-09-01 00:50:13 +0000 UTCI would actually play Elder Scrolls if it did this. :)

2017-08-31 21:46:12 +0000 UTCI built a lot of City of Heroes characters like this...

2017-08-31 20:58:52 +0000 UTCI imagine she wins a few games by taking advantage of a distraction or two as well. A shame he didn't pick the darker skinned option...

2017-08-31 19:33:19 +0000 UTCY'know, amid all of Larry's other character choices, the one that jumps out at me? Those eyes are an ENCHANTING shade of blue.

2017-08-31 17:29:35 +0000 UTCSo close. (I'm referring to an even more sexualized idea I've come up with.)

2017-08-31 13:28:51 +0000 UTCI wish more games let you choose your character's accent. I want to play an Australian khajit, damnit.

2017-08-31 12:38:32 +0000 UTCnow I'll need to think up various pinup ideas to suggest for elf girl Larry and all the ladies she flirts with. after all, none of the stats chosen mention orientation, so, this being Larry, we can probably still assume "cuties" refers to other women. or, admittedly, my lesbian butt just wants to see more sexy ladies hooking up. >.>

2017-08-31 11:30:43 +0000 UTCMojang; not Notch. Notch (who has unfortunately become av awful person) wasn't even involved in the development.
M Berntson
2017-08-31 10:29:04 +0000 UTCBetter watch it, Bethesda might sue you for using "Scroll" in the title of your game that's totally a not real parody, like they did Notch for Scrolls.
Emtu
2017-08-31 08:38:41 +0000 UTCVery nice work, Dan. Incidentally; the prisoner thing is a trend in the Elder Scrolls games - only major ES title that didn't use it was the second one, Daggerfall.
