I also recommend use of the More Great Works mod and Krajzen's Great Writer Pack with this mod. This will lead to two editions of the Lord of the Rings, however.

WARNING: Some of the Great Works (Portal 2, The Witcher) contain bad language.

NOTE: Any Great Work can be disabled by deleting the corresponding file

 
What about CDProjekt R.E.D. and their The Witcher games series?
 
You gotta be kidding on me... no Sid Meier? No civilization 5?
 
The Witcher as a Great Work!!!!!!!!Please!!!!!!
 
I dunno why they are absent.
 
OH MY GOODNESS I DIDN'T REMEMBER TO ADD GEORGE ORWELL WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!

The Witcher as a Great Work!!!!!!!!Please!!!!!!

If you can give me a quote.

In that case, shouldn't you make the work 'Blink' rather than just Doctor Who?

I am not objective. I haven't watched anything of the old series, and Moffat is the show runner (I also considered Russell T Davies, but chose Moffat because of Blink). I can replace him with Davies, but none of the old, simply because I have no relationship with them. But I can change it to new series Doctor Who, and add an old series one with one of the show creators if you can provide me with a quote.

How the hell was Art of War, LoTR, and the Prince not in the vanilla collection?? :eek:

Dunno. But they're in here now, at least. Also, LoTR is my favourite fictional book, so I really wanted it in-game. :p At least they managed to include Monsieur Verne, who I was surprised to discover was in-game the first time I got 20 000 Leagues Under the Sea.
 
"White Wolf, did you eat Red Riding Hood?" - anonymous child
or maybe ""Drinking alone is as bad as horsehockyting yourself in company." - Zoltan Chivay
or "Iorveth:
- Vernon Roche! Special Forces Commander for the last four years; servant of the Temerian King. Responsible for the pacification of the Mahakaman foothills. Hunter of Elves, murderer of women and children!"

Roche:
- Iorveth! A regular son of a b*tch!"

Plase whay you like :)

All quotes are from "Witcher 2:
Assassins of Kings" game.

The Witcher (first game)

"Geralt: Why do the locals persecute non-humans?
Dwarf: Why do d*cks go in tw*ts? It's the natural order of things."

Geralt of Rivia: "Power, sex. Sex, Power. They both come down to one thing - F*cking others."

Oh, I have nothing against using Blink. I'm just saying that normally Great Works are specific Great Works, so Blink would fit in better with the rest of them than just 'Doctor Who.'

Though An Unearthly Child would be a good one to add too, by Anthony Coburn. Quote would be: "Have you ever thought what it's like to be wanderers in the Fourth Dimension? Have you? To be exiles? Susan and I are cut off from our own planet - without friends or protection. But one day we shall get back. Yes, one day...."

Will add at least one of these in the next update.

But if I were to do this I might as well add episode Great Works of the other TV series as well... though that would be an easy pleasure with FiM and relatively simple for Sherlock, it would be hard with Doctor Who, because I haven't watched any Matt Smith episodes yet (sue me :p).

Also, if I were to do that I predict someone would ask me to make multiple Breaking Bad Great Works... which doesn't work for a series with an overarching story.
 
Updated the mod (v 2):

  • Added Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell
  • Added Half-Life by Gabe Newell
  • Added The Witcher by Artur Ganszyniec (Requested by dilophosaur)
  • Added Assassins of Kings by Sebastian Stepien (Requested by dilophosaur)
  • Changed author of Doctor Who to Russell T Davies (Requested by multiple people)
  • Changed author of Sherlock to Steven Moffat
  • Updated the description with bad language warning (Portal 2, The Witcher)
 
On The Witcher, it is a videogame adaptation of a series of Polish books, with a special version released in Poland that came alongside the books.

A quote from Fire Emblem, no matter which, would be nifty.
