new quest - CASTLES????

[scouse65]

has anyone ever thought of a castle map? This is fantasy right? This is D&D right? I get kind of bored with stuff after lvl 16, I like the old fashioned D&D stuff, not into interplaner travel, but going through the sewers and some small towns and towers and crypts was cool. The minotaur village was cool, the undead pirate stronghold and red fens stronghold was close to a castle, but I really miss the D&D castle sieges! whats your opinion?

While Im sure many of us would love it, as far as I know it isnt ebberon. Maybe with the travel to the realms we might see some of it though. I think if they expanded into Ravenloft it would be amazing and we would have castles to boot.

[somenewnoob]

Agreed. The closest I think we have is that fort in Storm the Beaches. I always liked the quest just becaue if felt the most like storming a castle!

[scouse65]

okay, wishful thinking I guess, I'm more of a forgotten realms fan myself.

Aren't several of the maps we fight on "Castles"? For example, Bring me the Head of Ghola-Fan! takes place inside his fortress. Gladewatch Outpost is a fort used in two different quests. Then there is the Mistral Island fortress in Storm the Beaches.

You have a point, but I think he means a different type of castle, one you see in holywood productions and what not.

I want to defend a castle, like the fight at Helm's Deep...

I want to be up on the wall and see 10,000 orcs charging the walls... I want to shoot arrows down into the mass of invaders, I want ladders to be raised by the invaders (and I want to be able to push them over).

I want to see catapults hurling stones. I want to see a battering ram breaking down the gates. I want to see Stone Giants smashing breaches in the walls.

I want to fall back to the inner castle walls.

That's what I want...

Edit: Oh, and I want to hurl a dwarf.

I want ladders to be raised by the invaders (and I want to be able to push them over).

I want to see the ladders bug out and prevent the orcs from climbing unless they take a step back and jump onto them.

Now that I think about it, the defend the castle fight in NWN2 was enjoyable. It would make an interesting raid, maybe requiring you to split the party like in the Spectral dragon raid.

I think Dr. Rushmore's Mansion qualifies. Lordsmarch Plaza in "Eyes of Stone" is also a castle of sorts.

Okay, but you can't post the screenie.

Just dont tell the elf, ok?

[Delssar]

I'd personally like to see a seige chain.

First quest would require you to go to different cities of monsters and convince them to join your forces along side house D against a new threat.

The second quest would be setting up a foot hold in the surrouding area of the enemies castle.

The third quest would be the assault of the castle, defending the mage fire cannons and the catapults, and after a set amount of time rushing the front gates with a load of npc allies, setting up a forward base of opperations in the first wall.

And the forth which would be a raid would be assaulting the second wall and getting into the keep to find out that the big bad guy is someone you'd never expect......... It would be Jacoby Drexelhand, but as a death knight and as an avatar to the Devourer. (or make up your own ending)

I believe the proper terminology when refering to assisted dwarven acceleration is "Tossing."

They need to do this quest with the LOTR sound track as well. That by itself would make it epic.

I want Tegal manor but then I am an old fart

[MaxwellEdison]

'And The Dead Shall Rise...' in the Delera's pack gave me more of a storming the castle than raiding a tomb feel.

[somenewnoob]

That one minotaur one, framework kind of is a storm the castle feel to it. Hell you can ballista right in!

[Tholar]

Have fun storming the castle!
