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.

Okay, but you can't post the screenie.

Just dont tell the elf, ok?

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 see you saw the movies, books > movies.

[quickgrif]

Books are ok and you can feel the depth in them, however he is a bit dry in his story telling and the movies were well made.

Most times I agree book > movie but in this case its a wash for me.

a new invasion has a pretty nice castle that annoys me to no end.

[MeliCat]

I want the mansion from the challenges as a PvP map (and I don't even like PvP)

[Gizeh]

A classical medieval castle would be pretty pointless with beholders, dragons and powerful wizards who would basically just jump over the walls, but I would like to see a castle adapted to a high magic setting like Eberron.

Thats just the setting, in alot of D&D worlds casters were 1/1000 adventurers and adventurers were 1/100000 person. Not only that but the worlds didnt have such a large number of monsters like beholders and dragons.

I would understand that in a setting like Forgotten Realms or Greyhawk, but here in Eberron we have airships...

I would love to see a dual part seige pack. It can be ran either as attacker or defender.

I would also love to see a quest in the new Underdark expansion done in infravision. Predator mode anyone?
