    That said, they do pretty well for a video game.

Evidently while there are a multitude of ways to go about a conversation most people limit their dialogue to a few rote questions and responses. These so called communicative functions form the background of most conversations. However it is still just the backbone and thus limiting.

    You can say this about pretty much any subject matter. i.e. Mario would make a terrible video game, because of the huge variety of things you could do if it were a tabletop RPG instead. I mean, you can't even ask Luigi what his favorite bagel type is, but you could in a Mario RPG. You can't fashion a crude knife from the bones of slain Koopa and ritually mutilate yourself, but you could in a Mario RPG. You can't choose to light the Princess on fire with your fire-flower and sacrifice her to your dark botanical gods, but you could in a Mario RPG.

    Exalted could make a fine video game. For example, who here would not play the Deathlord Dating Sim?

    Eh. I don't think there are enough good options in the roster, and everyone would just stick to Faffles and Princess Longname. And you'd still get the "Desus owns you" Bad End half the time, anyway.

    Reverse-engineer that! Manual of Exalted Power: Pastorals. Don't forget to give the Vanguard caste the old broken Twilight anima power.

    I don't get what your referencing, but I'm guessing Mass effect? maybe? Pastorals sort of throws me off though.

    "Pastors" are often referred to as "Shepherds", as in shepherding a flock of religious believers. I think it's a play on the main character of Mass Effect's name? Dunno, didn't play it. It might be a deeper joke.

    Yep, definite Mass Effect reference then.

    But I doubt we could actually make a Manual from Shepherd and Co. For one, most of the people in Mass Effect are already Solars. Or Dragon-Blooded if you have Bionics, cause Bionics have a focus on force and teamwork. Sorta. Bionics might be slightly Infernals instead but, hey these things are very open to interpretation.

    Nah, Mass Effect is a good example of how one can be amazing and epic while simply being a Heroic Mortal. Though, if there were exaltations available, they'd definitely have a good crop to chose from.

    Biotics could be modeled as a mutation+Terrestrial Martial Arts based off said mutation.

    Glorious Shotgun Princess. The thread was linked to from here not long ago. Personally, however, I prefer the fanfic website thingy. Skips the pages and pages of people talking about it.

    The best part, howeveer, is Wuffles.

    Note: I've never played Mass Effect.

    The first page in the thread should have a bit of an index. Or you can go read Glorious Solar Princess on Fanfiction.net

    There is another Mass Effect/Exalted Cross, Cyclical.

    ...Does Asura count?

    If not, meh, there's still Zoro and Hawk-Eye.

    I really gotta get around to reading TTGL and FMA.

    I don't think Asura would count, if he's pretty much invulnerable.

    Same could be said for TTGL from the end of the show. Taking him from another point(or, depowered and after the end) could work.

    And, you intend for this to be totally freeform?

    Well, I think endgame Asura is basically an Essence 10 Titan. But we can go pre-endgame.

    Alternatively, the "870 million years later" version
    could've somehow been transported to the Exalted world. Perhaps Yasha pulled him out of the way of the meteor, then the resulting impact caused a crack in reality to open up? It closed quickly, but before it did so, the eight plus Asura's family were pulled through...

    ...Also, I now have a hope that Shards has a sequel.

    Honestly, TTGL would be among the absolute last settings I'd merge with Creation. They just... have a very hard time fitting together, to me.

    Assuming you ignore/change the fact that most of Creation seems to be controlled by jerks, they actually have quite a bit incommon. Simon is a Solar, Kamina is either a heroic Mortal or the Lunar mate(if the latter, the Exaltation goes to Nia), the Beastmen are Terrestrials, and Lord Genome is a Sidereal. The first act really maps out to Exalted. The Second is where things get trickier, though you can make a case that the Anti-spirals are more Bronze Factioners.

    Characters from anime would probably be limited to around the start of the series.

    Mostly, this is because I hate writing fanfic. But I find the idea of various animes being crossed over into Exalted cool.

    Really, all I can think of now is plopping Argus, Yasha, and Asura in Exalted, and watching the awesome.

    Which character were you thinking of dropping into Creation, exactly? And from when?

    Augus.

    You know, I have a theory about him. Sure, his relentless pursuit of the things he wants is in tune with his Mantra Affinity, Greed, but his talk about how the Great Rebirth is silly, and his final words of "he who stands in the end... is rightous" makes me think that Augus was wiser than them all.

    Even though Shards is about to drop, anyone interested in some vanilla Exalted? My game of three and a half years is going to be looking for some new players and a Co-Storyteller.
