A quest for Bluebrand

Magelord648 · Post by **Magelord648** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 3:50 pm

I decided that the Eltonbrand easteregg isn't really worth the effort but I decided that Bluebrand (the CS name) would be pretty neat. I have therefore decided that I shall create a Goldbrand that turns into Eltonbrand at night but instead of Eltonbrand it will be Bluebrand and the colour will change. I've got the mesh ready and the weapon set up but I'm having trouble thinking up quest ideas. That's where you guys come in. I'd like it vampire related to keep in the spirit of the easter egg and the whole day night thing. The player does not have to be a vampire to play the quest though.

So... Any ideas?

Thanks
Ml

EDIT: Just took some pictures

i like the idea, but when you have goldbrand can't you do a quest to make it bluebrand? And whats eltonbrand??? just out of curiosity, as well as i think that idea is really interesting, its like oblivion Shivering isle's

There is an easter egg that allows you to get eltonbrand if you have a certain amount of gold in your inventory and goldbrand at the end of a quest. Eltonbrand is the in game name while the item ID is bluebrand.

The likeness of activating the easter egg by accident is very low seeing as there is a infinite amount of gold in the game which after a certain point will start to decrease your chances rapidly.

Elton Brand....smile to myself every time ...Eltonbrand
this is from the usep site
"After obtaining Goldbrand and undergoing a few steps, you can get Eltonbrand too. It is a reference to an American basketball player named Elton Brand who played with the Duke Blue Devils in college and is currently with the LA Clippers. This Easter Egg was built in by Mark Nelson (aka BlueDev) who also attended Duke University. The amount of gold required (11,171) to be in your inventory is a reference to Nelson's Birthday (11/1/71). The phrase to hell with carolina when you obtain Eltonbrand is a reference to Duke's arch-rival, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which is also referenced elsewhere in the game"

here's a link on who its is named for...

Perhaps it could be "quenched in the blood of three clans" - used to kill an elder from all three clans. Would that work?

Nice idea. Maybe not clan leaders though as that could break some quests or do you mean like adding more vials of blood?

I said elder, not leader. Whatever the second rank is. And yeah, you'd kill them with goldbrand.

I'll have a look at how much scripting that takes but it's a good idea.

o.o i like that idea, but like magelord said not leaders, maybe corrupted second in line leaders trying to kill the leader so they can be a leader? just expanding on a a thought

I know it might take some scripting, but how about, you uncover a new vampire clan, and you got to get more vampires in their family
