I’ve noticed this particular board is somewhat stagnant (understandable given that Neverwinter Nights hasn’t been released yet). So how about we spruce things up a bit by discussing the stories we intend to tell using Neverwinter’s awesome module producing ability? Personally, I have a story in works that is a pseudo continuation of the Icewind Dale/Heart of Winter storyline. It deals with the faded glory of the original heroes, now in the twilight of their lives, and how they’ve coped with the most implacable foe of all… time. Of course there’s plenty of action in it, with the return of Belhifet and other Machiavellian schemes proliferating the plot, but the gist of it is not unreminiscent of King Lear or other Shakespearian tragedies. I’ve got the preliminary plot down but have to wait until the game ships before I can finish it up.
Here’s some sample dialogue (Inspired from a Star Trek episode.
Hope it’s not too melodramatic
):
“I’m old, child. Once, long ago, I was far more than what I have become. But now there’s naught left but dried bones…and memories of dead comrades, long turned to dust. Heed my words. Savor the water of life my young friend. It has a sweet taste when it is fresh from the well. But do not live too long. The taste grows bitter, after a time.”
So what do you all think? Let’s get some discussion on this board people!
