Exactly, I just forgot that exact name.

I do hope you realise that after 150-200 years Maximilian is pretty damn dead. Unless you meant just that during his reign Cumbria became strong and rich, and that state has preserved to present times.

That's the idea...

Is Loghaire still alive, or is Randver the current leader? If the first option is true, he would most propably prevent anything polluting the forests, since the last thing he wants is more arguments with the elves, even though he knows the first situation was not caused by the Quintarra ones. If Randver is the ruler however the whole polluting deal may be possible, since he propably never did find out what was the reason behind the exile of the BMC. Or was he aware about the "steam engine + pissed off elves" affair? I can't really remember right now. Surely Loghaire's point of view was respecting the elven part of nature (said forests), even when not really understanding it, yet we do not know how would Randver turn out. It could be a flaw of his youth, or maybe character, yet he seemed to be weak and possibly prone to influence, so Loghaire's politics may not last long after his demise.

I thought that Loghaire would die already. He's ancient, you know, and I don't believe he'd survive another 200 years. |

| Problem with making a direct sequel is there's the potential to piss a lot of players off if you go down a different path than they did with there character. In that way, yes Loghaire should be dead -- just don't specify a cause and let the player decide. |

|
|
If you're still going for a Living One number two, I thought a decent enough alternative to Sogg would be that the Mayor of Shrouded Hills had hired laborers to complete the alternative bridge. One of them could be a Half-Ogre who is the fantasy equivalent of heavy moving equipment.
There are two possibilities for this NPC to exist:
If the Living One's killed Lukan, then the laborer's have no work to complete, since the old bridge is now open again.
If the Living One paid Lukan off or destroyed the construction materials, then perhaps their really WERE disappointed members of the Theives Underground who "persuaded" Lukan to leave. The old bridge is open again, and the laborers still have nothing to do.
In either case, the Half-Ogre decides to join you if he likes you (same CHA check as Sogg).
I'm not sure if it's possible, but you could leave it up to the player as to how the real Living One had gotten out of Shrouded Hills in the manner that BioWare has taken. Something like...
Half-Ogre Laborer:
"Dat 'leafing won' come thro here and kilt da teefs dat wus on da old bwidge!"
Player Character
Option 1: Interesting.
Option 2: Really? I didn't see any bodies as a warning against future thieves... Oh well.
Option 2 cont'd: Why are all the supplies for the new bridge damaged?
etc.
Nobody can complain if you left them the option to have had the Living One character play out how they wanted. |
