Why is there a Crystal way and a Dark way, instead of light and dark or something like Crystal and Rot or Dead or something along those lines.
But with even levels, pulleys, wheels, cogs, ropes, and hydrolics. I could create a machine that would do some awesome things.
But if Crystal is just another word for light? Then why cant we use light energy? I mean for the most part, its just a game. But when you want to get more into creating a world and not just a game, then you have to look at the mechanics of everything. You can\'t just say, we don\'t have this because I said so.. there has to be a legitimate reason. Like in Medival era, Churches ruled over mostly everything, banning alot of tech as evil. Also, electricity isnt the only source of power, it just makes a more interesting field. We can create fire from nothing, so what stops use from creating a flame that burns as bright as a modern day lightbulb.
To me eletricity is useless in somethings when you can use other sources of power. Electricity as a source of power in PS would be pointless when we have magic that can run mostly everything 100 fold better. Its just Electricity can make for amusment with light shows. Its mostly a display thing when your in a game. Electricity is also a powerful weapon.
But as for tech, you have to look at the grand scale. Medival tech cannot work because PS isn\'t Medival. But you can make things that are Medival looking. Even create areas that seem strange and futuristic. But saying PS is Medival wouldn\'t work. But it is semi-medival in a gaming experiance, other then the fact, its underground, and races come from different worlds, where in one world they can be using laser cannons.
Also, their can be a story about the banishment of tech by Talad or some other god. Anyone who trys to create such items is instantly killed, and there work destroyed from a mystical force of the gods.
