"Evil, its said, always finds a way. It may be banished, destroyed, cleansed, or whatever else many a hero has tried to accomplish but only momentarily. Not even fate or destiny can remove it. That happily ever after? It won't last for long, it never does, the bliss of newly-weds fades like the morning dew under the harsh glare of the sun. Defeated the vile wizard? Another will rise in his place, for simple want or gain, because someone else has what another wants. We like to attribute this behavior to fate, familial lines, or simple upbringing, few call it true because they fear it - as they should.
Evil, Master always finds a way, after all... we found you." ~Gnarl
Yes, an Overlord crossover but with what?
Oh I thought long and hard about this one but honestly its always just been staring at me in the face right there on my desktop, right next to each other.
So I'm thinking I'm gonna need some help with this one.
Overlord / Kingdoms of Amalur
Yes, the Fateless One is the Overlord, hell even the tower you START in looks like it would make for a great base of operations, just needs a little fixing up and what better idea than to use the well of souls as your spawning pit?
The Tuwatha DID say a new dark god would be born in the far west, they were right. :evil:
Hell the the mistresses are so easy to pick out as well.
Oh yes, I think I'll have fun with this one but like I said there would be a few details here and there I'll have to iron out first but I think this would be fun to write.

Random idea for Phoenix Wright (that doesn't contain buttsex, thank you very much fandom).
Highlight for the idea as this contains spoilers for the first game as well as the second and third.
On December 8th, 2001, the earthquake never occurs. This changes everything. With his father still around, Edgeworth grows up to be a defense lawyer, but struggles initially in the system that is biased towards him.
Phoenix idolises Edgeworth a bit after seeing him in court. The events of 3-1, Turnabout Memoeries, still occurs though, with Mia Fey taking up the case again. However, he instead resolves to become a prosecutor, again so he may meet Edgeworth in court like he does in canon for a motive, but also vows that to seek the truth of every murder (I would love, by the way, to keep him in a relationship with Iris upon graduation).
Misty Fey is still alive and kicking with an intact reputation, so she continues to be head of the Fey family. The infighting between her and Morgan however reaches a crescendo of a cold war, which is what incites Mia to leave the household to become a lawyer. Mia and Phoenix are good friends despite being on opposite sides of the court.
Eventually Mia is still murdered by Redd White, with Maya being accused of murder. Phoenix takes on the case as prosecutor and convinces Miles to come on as defence attorney. In the meantime, Misty Fey meets with Phoenix and reveals to him the spiritual powers of the Fey family, as she channels Mia who tells him who the true murderer is. With this knowledge in hand all he and Edgeworth have to do is work backwards from knowledge of who the murderer is, and make a convincing scene in court as they eventually get Redd White convicted. Also Iris gets pregnant somewhere thereafter.

I like it. Its a nice, believable way of making a Phoenix Wright swapped roles AU. But is Iris still pretending to be Dahlia? Did Dahlia make her attempt on Phoenix's life completely as canon? Or is there a reason Iris appeared afterwards.
Also... because no-one is there to distract him from franziska, Manfred would have focused on teaching her a lot more. A cruler Franziska perhaps? And when Godot awakes, what will he do? And what will Phoenix do when he's eventually roped into solving a bunch of cases on foot.... for that matter, because he's no longer in the past, what happened to Gumshoe in the flashback case of the Miles Edgeworth game? Without Edgeworth or some other person there (I guess you could fluff it and have a law student Phoenix being there for some reason) Gumshoe gets blamed for a murder!
EDIT: Whiting out most of the spoiler-ish text

I don't really want to retread canon too much, since I hate it when other fandoms do that, but I still think that Dahlia would be evil. Phoenix would perhaps enter the same school as he did, but intent on studying law right from the start instead of a little later after 3-1 took place, so chronologically he'd become a prosecutor a few years earlier than normal. The case with Byrne Faraday's murder would probably have to be handwaved away, or perhaps Gregory Edgeworth would be the defense attorney instead of Callisto Yew.
Also, I forgot to mention this earlier: Phoenix would be inspired to become a prosecutor after seeing how much power prosecutors have in investigations and in the court, because he can also use that same power to better seek the truth of every case (and not overrule the defence all the time).

Not so much of a fanfic idea but would it be possible for TFF to cooperate to the extent to edit a pokemon FR/LG rom to a significant extent? I've had some ideas on such but lack the skills and tools to get anything significant done.
If not that than enough to do some sort of Nuzlock/Let's play fusion?

After OOT ends, and Link went to Termina, he returns home grown up, traveling the world. He soon meets a mysterious Hot Amazon girl with her face and hair hidden, who fights him, and says she missed him. Soon after, he meets Saria again, who thanks to being a Sage, can wander Hyrule. As the two get reacquinted, the mysterious female fighter fights Link on a few occassions. Eventually, Link knocks the hood hindg her features, and sees...
[color=whiteThe girl is Saria. Apparently, when she left the Forest, she became Hylian. Worried about having to defend herself, she decided to train herself to travel the world, and protect others.
She trained with the Gerudo, Gorons, Zoras, and Impa and Zelda. By the time Link returns, she's become a skilled hand to hand fighter, and can even shift her form to her Kokiri form, a la Maya Natsume in Tenjo Tenge, to help build her energy reserves.
Tropes for this Saria:
She is All Grown Up: Grew up REAL nice.
Boobs of Steel: Her training did help her figure a lot.
She's Got Legs: Natch.
Bare-Fisted Monk: Her character class.
Cute Bruiser
Ms Fanservice: Uses Distracted by the Sexy as part of her style
Lightining Bruiser
I think of Tifa Lockheart, admittedly. Saria has never gotten a major badass level up, so why not?][/color]

Alright so I've got this vague idea for a fic but its solid, i think. Got some questions and hopefully you guys can help me.
So comparatively what are differences between Dragon Age dragons and Elder Scrolls dragons? I mean aside from looks and the obvious fact that Dragon Age dragons are apparently "supposedly" fallen gods what would the major differences be? On both a physical and metaphysical level?
From what we've learned about from Dragon Age the dragons there seem to be more... animal than god, of course the only other dragons aside from the two wild and uncorrupted ones you kill the Arch-demons show a surprising amount of cunning from supposed beasts of course so do Dark Spawn. The killing of an Arch-demon however is what intrigues me the most. It must be by a Warden or the damn thing doesn't stay dead much like the dragons of Skyrim.
In many respects the two worlds -while at first glace- are not very similar but once you take a closer look it becomes a different story. Spirits and Demons are very much like Aedra and Daedra with Dragon Age simply making them more easily definable. The Elder Gods to which both the elves, the Tevinter and to whom the chantry also refer to as Arch-Demons also seem in many respects to reflect the higher level Aedra and Daedra, the Gods and Prince's of Elder Scrolls.
In fact I'd even go so far to say that the elvish "gods" whom they tell were tricked into being locked away from their worshipers are the same beings as the Elder Gods the Chantry and Tevinter are calling the Arch-Demons. It would make an aweful lot of sense for a trickster god to "lock away" his fellow gods by trapping highlevel beings of the Fade in the mortal realm.
But back to the point I was trying to ask.
Would a Dragon Age dragon be considered a Daedric Prince in terms of power and ability? of course taking into account them being locked away in a material form but how would you say they would match up?

Can the High Dragon make its own dimensional plane and live in it? Can a Daedric Prince be permanently killed by a small party of mortal player characters?
The answer to both of these questions being 'no', it would seem that a DA dragon is not comparable to a Daedric prince.
Also, its DA canon that the Archdemons are the corrupted Old Gods of Tevinter.

Honestly they don't even really give us that much info about the Old Gods period except that they get corrupted once the Darkspawn find them and that they are trapped and buried hell we don't even really know if there is a "Maker" in that world yet we clearly see demons, spirits, and magic out the ass. I strongly suspect that 7 of the 9 elven gods are the same gods that the Tevinter and the Chantry talk about, the 8th being not really a "god" but just someone important and the 9th being the trickster god that trapped all the elvish pantheon away from their worshipers. Those seven also have some rather distinctive similarities to the Old Gods in regards to their portfolios.
So yes, actually I personally would say that if not for them being trapped -as in no way at full power- and being from the Fade that YES they theoretically could do the same stuff as the Aedra and the Daedra. What I'm really wondering though is how would they match up. I'm more of a fan of the Elder Scrolls so while I'd normally say the Aedra and the Daedra would be more powerful (seeing as they aren't locked up) I can't shake the feeling that a fully returned to power Old God might be quite fearsome.

So, Warmachine idea: one of the mages of the Llaelese resistance, seeing how ineffectual they are, and how Cygnar and the Protectorate view them as cannon fodder for fighting the Khadorans, makes a deal with an Infernal to open a portal to somewhere where they can get proper assistance against the Khadoran invaders. The ritual succeeds, and the portal is opened to Earth.
Hilarity ensues.

Something that occurred to me while on the bus yesterday (odd place to have these ideas)
In regards to Tales of the Abyss
In the Score, the destruction of Akzeriuth is NEVER specified. Merely 'a mining city' is supposed to be destroyed in 2018AD. What if the Score itself was basically trolling everybody who was trying to interpret it and then Asch gets killed either at Baticus or at that tower thing, both of which were former mining cities, before the end of 2018AD?
In the case of Baticus, there goes international affairs down the toilet again.

I'm getting pretty hyped up about XCOM. I kind of want to see a fic where Shepard is The Commander. He drags humanity through terror and extraterresterial warfare, pioneers research into alien technologies beyond our understanding, and becomes a living legend. The Archives on Mars are discovered, and Shepard pushes to decrypt as much of them as possible to fortify Earth's solar system. Hostile aliens find out and invade with the intent to capture the Archive and destroy Earth once and for all. Shepard and the XCOM forces repel them in direct hard contact, but Shepard is mortally wounded in the process. XCOM and the Earth Defense Force puts the dying Shepard on ice until such a time that they have the technology to heal him.
Fast forward to Mass Effect 1, with a much more paranoid and technologically advanced Earth, a galactic power in their own right, bringing "The Commander" back from cryo. His mission? Serve as a Spectre candidate as a diplomatic gesture towards the Galactic Council, while simultaneouly establishing and training a new elite force to protect and defend Earth and all her colonies.
That force? The N7 Project.

My thoughts - The background sounds a lot like Warhammer 40k, only with a little bit of backstory and the characters changed out. The Emperor of Mankind forcing humanity forward and holding the Warp and the Lovecraftian monsters at bay, and his physical body being almost completely destroyed by the events of the Horus Heresy, and placed on the Golden Throne.
After beating XCOM on Normal (I'll try the harder modes later) I present the following idea.
Warning Spoilers for XCOM ahead.
During the Endgame, the Big bad's reveal that XCOM's success was exactly what they hoped for all along. As you fight you're way through the ALien Complex that reveal that each of the races you engaged was something they found and attempt to uplift in an effort to fight a greater evil. The fact that a Squad of Humans (Lead by a powerful Psionic) has kicked the door in and is laying waste to their failures justifies the attrocities they commited, in their minds.
Their plan worked to well and the humans end up slaying the Big Bad's (who admitted to being the biggest failures since they were rejected by another power) while the try to convince you that humanity needs their guidance.
So since the Protheans are confirmed to be a mix of races we'll say that these guys were the last remnants of that ancient empire. They've been traveling around the galaxy ever since trying to build an army that could stand against the Reapers while developing tech that is not based on Reaper designs.
Adrian Shepard, was a talented Assault trooper that joined the XCOM directive early and eventually rose to lead 95% of the ground missions. Elisa Harper was the woman in overall charge of the XCOM project. The two didn't always agree on how things should be done, but they bother were determinted to protect humanity.
Anyways, Shepard is discoverd to have Psionic potential and is eventually turned into humanities first Psionic warrior (I envision this Shepard using the Alloy cannon manily because of rule of cool). After the endgame Shepard appears to be lost and the XCOM project is official shut down now that the threat has pasted.
Elisa Harper has other ideas.
XCOM is reborn under the name 'Cerberus' and works quietly behind the scenes as humanity takes it's first steps towards the stars.
Since Adrian Shepard died during the final battle Cerberus puts into place a Long term plan. Since they have his DNA and Elisa Harpers' they work to combine them, and create a warrior to lead humanity out into a dangerous galaxy.
Elisa Harper lives out her life, eventually giving birth to children. Her line eventually resulting in Jack Harper who eventually becomes 'The Illusive Man'.
The 'Shepard' Project is completed before TIM takes control and without his knowledge. The 'XCOM' cell within Cerberus then secret the child away, raising him on a colony world and slowly helping him master his Psionic gifts and teaching him how to lead without him ever realizing his true nature or purpose.
The Batarian's attack, and Shepard loses his family, but manages to save half the colony using his gifts.
The Story would proceed from here.

XCom being shut down between each alien invasion always seemed contrived to me. I mean, aliens exist, that's a fact, and they're pretty fucking hostile if the death toll is any indication.
And there are more of them out there just as hostile and likely to make humanity their lunch, so why in the bleeding nine fucking HELLS would XCom be shut down when it's obvious that their job, protecting humanity against the xeno scum, is very much anything but over ?
It just doesn't make any sense. :headbanger:

the same reason they [US military] kept shutting down the Sniper division between just about every war until FINALLY they kept one after Vietnam.
It wasn't needed anymore. They thought their technology had surpassed the need for it. Or they thought that was the last time it was ever going to be used.
Which only makes them shutting down XCOM that may times all the more mind-boggling.
3 to 4 times MAYBE, but more than 5 and I have to wonder what they are smoking.
