Idea: New Areas/Biomes
Posted: Sat Dec 15, 2018 12:11 pm
Hello,
I didn't want to dig too deep into the developer's sections so I don't know if something like this is already planned...
My idea was a completely new area featuring new "biomes". In the current world there are only "lands" or "forests" or "mountains" and so on. But what about a dessert? This dessert has no trees, only rare plants at all. It comes with little houses that are designed in a typical way and the people living there just think about water as of gold of course. So they could ask for bringing water to them as a possible quest. Additionally, a dessert contains poisonous animals and holes/caves where really bad creatures live ...
But there is the problem that you can't place a dessert next to the known "healty" world containing all these plants.
So what about an ocean? At the edge of the currently known world, there could be one big city that lives from their trading with the rest of the world. After completing a really hard (and possibly long) quest, one of the captains allows you to sail with him to his country which is somewhere else ... the really hot place is a dessert. Whenever you pay him a high price, you can travel from one country to the other.
As a last idea (but I think no one would really like it) the ship could be "playable". So that you're the captain shipping on the sea to far lands ...
Okay, that's much to the creative part. But if we're realistic, it's hard to manage and A LOT of work. The harbor could be placed at the east corner of Nor City (as far as I'm correctly informed about the plans to this city)? Alternatively, somewhere in the south from Crossglen, going southwest from Fallhaven or southeast from Stoutford, there is a (unused?) road without any further way to the south. Is there something planned?
TL;DR
New "biomes" (regions) like a dessert or an ocean would be really cool and extraordinary, but hard to implement and extremely time consuming
