Dialogue and Quest Making!!!!!

[dandanthedan]

actually, i made this topic for my game...since im not too good in conversational skills, especially
in english, I would like to ask help from all of you, i really needed interesting dialogues in my game
coz i think its too bland becoz of the dialogues...

basically, i just want ideas...

so this is how it should be...
Examples are:

NPC Only
NPC name: blahblahblah...
Details: like, when facing a sword in a shop

or

NPC to Actor
NPC: Hey there is a blahblahblah..
Actor: Really? blahblahblah?
NPC: Yep! BLah!



Quests
NPC Request: Bring me a fish!
Idea: goes into a fishing minigame to catch a fish

or

NPC Request: What's her name?
Idea: asks a girl about her name because the requester dont have the guts to ask for it
himself.

Quests:
-mining
-fishing
-dating series(the boy progressess as I do their quests)

So, basically you just want people to write some basic conversations for your game? That's not too hard. I'll do some examples here for your questions.

Spoiler: when facing a sword in a shop

NPC - It's a nice sword, isn't it?

or

NPC - You have a good eye when it come to swords.

or

NPC - Do you like that sword? I'll sell it to you if you want. (open shop window here...)

Spoiler: NPC to Actor

This one is a little harder because of the wide range of possibilities here.

NPC - Hey have you heard about ...(something big in your game here)...
(This depends on if it happened yet or not)
*If it has happened...
ACTOR - Yeah! I heard about that. It was supposed to be really cool. Actually, I was near there when it happened.
*If it hasn't happened...
ACTOR - Really? I've never heard of such a thing. That's kind of interesting. What else do you know?
NPC - Well, (Then fill in with details about the event)

Spoiler: Bring me a fish!

This one is pretty easy and you can use it for a lot of your quests like this.

NPC - Hey, (Actor name)! I was wondering if you could go get me a (fill in your quest item. In this case, a fish)
ACTOR - Sure, I'll be right back with it.

Spoiler: What's her name?

NPC - Hey! You there! Could you do something for me?
ACTOR - Well, it depends, what exactly is it?
NPC - Well, I really want to know this girls name, but I don't have the guts to ask her.
ACTOR - What, that girl there?
NPC - That's her. Pretty thing isn't she?
ACTOR - ...yeah. I'll be right back.

If you want anymore, just post here or PM me with some prompts!

Hope this helps!

thank you so much for those things..i'll put them in my game now...thanks...^_^

 

[wizard576]

Here are a few quests I've put into my game. If you like them feel free to use them.

The first quest you encounter is when you choose a class. Every class requires you to complete the quest before you can become that class and every class has a different quest.

Example 1 If you choose to be a mage the class master will tell you that you need to learn two things before you can become a mage then tell you to talk to a witch and she can teach you the reqyired things. Then after talking to the witch she will ask you to bring her an ingredient to finish her potion before she can teach you.

Example 2 If you choose to be a thief you will be asked to pickpocket 3 people without failing. Then as you try to pickpocket your success rate is higher with higher agility so you might want to train agility a little first. If you succede twice then fail you will have to start over.

Another quest later in the game is you stumple across an old man that lives in the woods he'll tell you that his grand son often runs arands for him but he has not returned and he is worried. so you need to locate the grandson help him excape a group of monsters and help him return to his granddad.

I hope this was helpfull and I am sorry if I broke any rules this is only my second post.
