[OT] Martian Dreams

I really like this game. The plot's great, and it's a nice change from the usual Tolkienesque RPG's (even if the landscape is a little dull). One feature I really like (which I think was in U6 too) is the ability to take over any one character in 'solo mode'. Makes it easy to level-up a weak character or run past a bunch of monsters to retrieve something.
It's also amusing to have Spector and RG in the game itself.

Yeah, Martian Dreams is fun. The dream world sequence is one of the most interesting set of puzzles I have ever played. Just watch out for Rasputin.

I've got an original copy of Martian Dreams, but have never played it all the way through. I'll have to do that sometime soon. I did get through Savage Empire.

DrCode:
as silly as it sounds, how much work would it be to add this great feature into Exult? Kinda like a generic Petra-mode.

Not too hard, except it might break lots of scripts. Might be reasonable to do for a new game.

What I would do.
1) Set 'follow camera' on the party member
2) Make sure each party member stops following the avatar
3) Route all the movement comands to the party member
4) Disable all executing 'use' usecode when in solo mode
Of course eggs and traps and other things will probably still break a little.
