In Caladon, at 1 Old King's Way (outside the main city, a house next to the bridge and entrance to it) there are two wandering NPC's, a man in a brown suit, a man in a white suit, plus a woman in a blue dress inside the house. There's nothing special about them, when talking to them you just get the usual gossip line and the recent main plot question. However, after you talk with them once, you can see that the brown'suited man i called Paul and the women is called Molly. As role playing games go, when someone has a name, he also has a story. However after finishing the game with several different characters, I never found anything about those people. The question is, are they a part of some rare quest, or pehaps the undeleted remainings of some quest that didn't get into the final game?
It's possible they were intended to be part of a side quest but they ended up with with a generic citizen dialog. Expanding their role for my hack: It's possible. Maybe make them the link to another small town or unexplored cave.
Some ideas: 1. Paul and Molly are working for an organisation, who are searching for the map parts and the crystals as well. The man with the white suit, is their bodyguard. 2. Paul asks the PC to find out more about his wife Molly, because she is acting weird these days. It seems that it have something to do with a small decayed fishing town. 3. Molly wants the PC to find more about the past of Paul. 4. The bodyguard, ask the PC to help him to protect his masters against gansters. 5. After she have found a part of some strange map at a grave dig, she is followed by shady characters. 6. Paul ask the PC to look after his wife, when he goes to Tarant to do some business with a kingpin. Only problem is that she is a flirt.
I think it should be something small, but with distinctive outcome scenarios... like the wedding ring in dernholm.
Or.. a bartender and to owners trying to start some competition for Madam Lil. They as the player to find and hire some 'entertainment' for the fledgling business venture.
Maybe something like these?: 1. Molly and Paul are bootleggers and they want that the PC bring some illegal booze to Tarant without getting caught by the police, 2. Their son/daugher is kidnapped by someone.
Maybe they're mutant ninja minotaurs and asks the PC if he/she/it can find some large, flexible and also good looking suits, since they've been invited to a posh gathering. Add a mystical sword and some murders and maybe just a little bit of salt, then you have it: the ultimate quest.
You could try this Possibilities as well: 1. Molly and Paul are the foster parents of the child of the PC. 2. The PC gets a relation with Paul/Molly. Now the lover of the PC wants the other one dead. 3. Paul got married last week, but he think that his wife is cheating on him.
