Can Dom3 be modded to play like Dom2?
 

Just wondering if Dom3 can be modded such that the spell and magic item paths are the same as Dom2? Also, can life draining weapons be changed to the way they worked in Dom2? In Dom3, only the first 5 points of damage are drained. Can we mod the castle system to work like Dom2?, etc.

I think it would be interesting to try out, and we still get the improved AI, UI, and graphics of Dom3.

How come you know that only 5 first points will be drained? Hmm? HMMM`??

Well, that was new to me.

I suppose much will be possible via modding (spells paths, magic items costs...). For Drain that has been changed it will be possible only if the "old" attack still exists somewhere in the code, so you can put it on the weapons you want to change.

May I also ask why exactly you'd want to make it play like Dom 2?

As I understand it, it will be much harder to build powerful SCs and use other exploits such as clam hoarding in Dom3. Just for nostalgia and novelty sake, I'd like to play Dom3 using Dom2 stats and see how it plays with the improved UI and AI. I'm probably the only one with that desire, however.

Yeah I guess you are alone with this. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Actually its a common first effort in a game to mod it to the previous version. Good learning experience. I like that better than planning to change it into a whole new game right off the bat. Just IMHO

Well there is a point in that yeah, however I doubt that I will have any problems to make a total conversion mod. The hardest part will be making/editing the gfx for it.
