I'm onboard with the robotic thighs. The rest I can wing my way through with sliders and body types

While playing the game a coupla nights ago (and incidently hearing the chalet music in the hero side Pocket D vault??????) it occured to me that a zone set in Antartica might make an interesting place to visit?


The zone would be loosely based on the movie "The Thing"

Players would book passage on a ship from Paragon City or the Rogue Isles and then arrive in the zone at a supply base on the outskirts of the zone.

The zone itself would use the snow and ice environment from the chalet sans trees with rough uneven terrain riddle with tunnels and caves (like the tunnels in Faultline). At the center of the zone would be an abandoned research station.

Two type of contacts would be available in the zone; the first would be a hero/villian neutral contacts that would send heros and villians on exploration missions around the zone to collect resources of some sort which the characters could trade in the same manner as MA tickets. These missions would involve exploring the caves and tunnels as well as points of interest (old supply bases, camp sites, vehicle crash areas, unusual geological sites, ect). These missions would also provide the general backstory of the zone.

The second type of contact would be specific to heros or villians. Missions would be appropriately themed to each type and as the heros and villians completed the various missions, the true story of the zone would be revealed as well as opening missions based in the abandoned reseach station which would ultimately culminate in a task force specific to heros or villians aimed at either stopping the ancient menace or gaining mastery over it.

As an option, the hero and villian specifc contacts could be hidden to new arrivals to the zone and as the characters completed neutral contact missions they would gain noteriety which would ultimately reveal the hidden contacts.

Crey seems like a good fit as an established enemy group for the zone along with the Devouring Earth. Malta could be involved as well. Winter Lord and his gang could be present as also as a sort of environmental hazard.

A new enemy group could be introduced for the zone, playing on the movie theme, these enemies would range from people who have been driven mad to enemies who have been infected (transformed, replaced, ect) by the ancient evil at the abandoned research base. The former would be normal except for thier madness fueled ability and the latter would actually transform into a hybrid monster of some sort.

Another idea I had for an antarctic zone would be a dual zone of sorts with antarctic missions ultimately opening the way into a second tropical "Land of the Lost" zone (although I havent given much thought to it beyond that and it would be a neat way toget dinosaurs into the game).

Naw thats not evil, having to kill 50 vazhi in Steel Canyon... now thats evil!

Y'know I've pondered that?

3,546,481 prestige and 24 SG badges, I wonder what that would be worth?

Hmmmm.... maybe 20 inf per prestige and maybe 1000 inf per badge? Not a bad deal methinks if you can live with whatever the SG name is.

Heh, I'm pretty lazy when it comes to lower level IO's so I just slot SO's until I ding 50 then go on a buying spree.

Sweet, my ego knows no bounds now!

Robbery and the like doesn't realy bother me, but sacrificing innocents, torture, slavery ect do (when I'm really immersed in the story).

Although I must admit (after beating the game) I found my self commiting what is essentially an evil act. I pursued Morrigan's romance plot all the way to the end picking up the Witch Gone Wild and Dark Pact badges. Although in the epilouge I see my character made a lasting impression (through conversation choices and gift from her).

That alone would make for an interesting plot if DA2 comes along.

Y'know I only have 3 villians compared to my 17 heros, I hear about the cool arcs in CoV and I dig the more insidous ones. However try as I might I cannot get into being a villian (moment of truth insert--> I bribed my nephew to power level a villian on my account so I could access the VEATs)

Anyways, last night it occurred to me why I can't seem to get into villany after completing this one quest in Dragon Age: Origins.

the scene in question involves going to a certain village and clearing out a certain castle and the finally of said quest involves the possible sacrifice of a certian NPC (anybody who has reached this point knows what I'm talking about)

I didn't like my choice but it seemed prudent given the circumstances, and honestly I sorta feel like a ****** for doing it

Sigh... and I so wanted to be the first global dictator in history

Man, I wish they would implement a spear power set!

Status update; SEVa now has snow (albeit only lightly)

Same in SEVa, all rain and no snow
