[EPIC PROJECT] the wayfarer

[mapguy]

A short idea about the game:

I just got this idea some time ago, but I was having problems with loading stuff from one map to another one... well, now I finally got it and Im ready to start.

The wayfarer will be a single player RPG for warcraft 3 - frozen throne.
It will be lots of epic size and huge size maps linked to each other creating a gigantic world in which one could take mounths to explore.

The idea is to create a world full of flavorful side quests and have at least one region for each environment possible (forest, northern, cave, jungle, desert, barrens, etc...) in which the main character travels from place to place to complete tasks and finish his main goal.

The game will be ruled by a MAIN quest which is the reason of the character, the main quest leads to a big story that must be completed to finish the game and unlock new regions.

I will start the map during vacation and will work really hard on it.

The line of the game will something like diablo semi-linear story with a gigantic world that remember mmorpgs like WOW and spells and abilities that have the quality of DOTA and AOM spells.

a brief explanation about the world:

-the world is a gigantic area made of lots of maps, it counts with a main continent and some islands spread over the ocean.
-As the game starts lots of regions are locked or are too dangerous for your character, and missions must be complete to unlock those places.
-If you are worried about having to run all the way from one border of the map to the other calm down... Quests alloes you to use services that transport you from different regions in an instant at the cost of gold or in the name of friendship. Also, most quests, starts and ends in the same region (map), so you dont bother with ridiculous load screens all the time.
-as in any other RPG, the initial regions have weak monsters that becomes stronger the most you advance in the game.

What help I need:

Right now I want ideas of things that could be implemented in the map, hero_classes, environments, item classes, etc.

I'm not sure how many people play single player rpg's, but goodluck with this.

you would need to put a huge-arse ammount of time into this and include voice-acting in it, which isnt limited in single player (map memory restrictions are lifted)

I do.
This sounds like Skyrim/Oblivion to me, which can be a good thing

meh im personally unhappy with skyrim, oblivion and morrowind are SO much better and complete, there are like 5 mages college quests and you become the archmage, you had to touch every part of cyrodill and put an end to necromancy in oblivion to become archmage + how all of the quests are alike or almost copies of oblivion it puts no orriginality into it, but i digress sorry :/
