Dungeon Vote #6: story contest


https://mightandmagicx-legacy.ubi.com/opendev/blog/post/view/51e95950888ef65d72000004

What we have now is a dungeon that is based on a ruins tileset, with a balanced gameplay (combat and riddles), with a non-elemental theme and populated by the undead. What we need now is a story.


Why does your party enter that dungeon in the first place? What are they coming for, what’s there to achieve? And what happens then?

Write down your idea for a story and send it to us. We will pick three of your stories and will present them next week, then ask you again to pick the one you like best. This story will then be the basis for our dungeon storyline.

Finally some REAL Community input....

Why does your party enter that dungeon in the first place?

Because it's there? Duh.

Just my own 5 cents, but is it really that important to dress up some paperdoll like a little girl dresses up her barbie???

Yes it is. Now, show us on the Barbie where the girls didn't touch you.

That's a question? My party usually does that stuff to solve other people's problems, to get some loot&experience, maybe to stop a demon invasion or save a princes. It's not exactly rocket science. Are they asking for specifics?

 

[Lonely Vazdru]

Why does your party enter that dungeon in the first place?

Because that's where the party starts.

And what happens then?

Then the party goes to that dungeon in the second place, and then the third, and so on...

 

[Haba]

Ugh, those models. I hate the Heroes 6 art design, and I'm sad to see this games takes after it. It's over the top in a very, very bad way.

Yuuup. The pole of the spear is thicker than the guy's arm, for one...

 

[Zed]

I haven't really noticed a "heroes VI art design" until I saw these knights. but yeah, it does look a little silly.
the early screenshots looked great.

Eh, I didn't notice what's wrong with the art style before you mentioned the spear, but yeah, it is ridiculous. But apart from that, it is OK, nothing special.

 

[mediocrepoet]

I'm with the others, this is silly.

Why does your party enter that dungeon in the first place?

To get the tasty XPs, you goddamned philistine!

What are they coming for, what’s there to achieve?

To get loot and levels.

And what happens then?

They become small gods and terrorize monsters and barmaids across the world.

It's like they've never played any RPGs...

 

[Broseph]

I'm more concerned about the trainer for bows and crossbows wielding a spear and a shield.

 

[Lonely Vazdru]

no lifelong rival to confront

Some dark smartass might say that three consecutive games spread over a decade are more than enough to qualify as lifelong in a video game.

 

[Grunker]

Why? Not like the old games had any more credibility on this point.

Meh, just nitpicking.

 

[sser]

Why does your party enter that dungeon in the first place?

They hear the sweet sound of a singing woman.

What are they coming for, what’s there to achieve?

Putting it in all her holes.

And what happens then?

At the end of the game, her (your) child appears as a nasty monster that you must fight.

(Maybe its appearance is an amalgamation of your party, suggesting an orgy took place.)

The Ranger

The Ranger is a great range damage dealer, using his/her bow and the magic support of Earth. He/she has a very good perception and finds the vulnerable spots of his/her enemies.

It seems everybody in this game is a magic user....

 

[hoverdog]

It seems everybody in this game is a magic user....

Well, that's hardly a groundbreaking novelty for the franchise. In M&MVI only Warrior couldn't use any magic. In M&MVII - Warrior and Thief (Ranger appeared there, and could use all elemental and clerical schools up to expert level). The eight part had Warrior and Troll (I think) magicless.

 

[Dorateen]

Also, traditionally many weapons and items replicate spells from the magic schools. So almost any party member could cast any spell.

I remember running around with characters with multiple sets of Gauntlets of Beacons.

It's been ages since I played VII, but didn't Thief have very basic elemental magic? Without any level of mastery available?

Thief has magic, but IIRC you don't even get any MP until your first promotion.

I think thief has access to normal light/dark too.

 

[hoverdog]

Yeah, I checked it and he's a novice cleric after promotion. Serves me right for never even playing him.

 

[Themadcow]

In Wizardry, if you didn't have characters who could cast spells of some sort you "weren't doing it right". Never the less, it always struck me as a bit dodgy that my front line armoured fighters could all cast a decent spell and hide in shadows like a ninja.

[Nael]

Cologne you say? I can almost taste the Kolsch.
