Story:
Your the child of a hired guard who protects a traveling caravan, your fathers been gone for quite some time and should have returned, so you go looking for him, you find him and his party have been killed in a very strange way, you make your way through the world selling yourself off as a mercenery and find yourself wandering around the market of one of the largest castles around, certainly this would be the best place to make a little extra money..

Concept:
A large Campaign that spans the mainland and some surrounding islands. When your stationed in a castle or village you can do errands for people or resolve disputes. Also, decisions with these errands will influence other quests and the over-all ending of the game.
There will be many different minor and major quests, small quests will get you items, reputation, gold, experience, and sometimes even influence larger quests, a large quest will chose in which direction your character leads

Example: a group of necromancers is defiling the graveyards of some small village, if you chose to kill them, you get positive reputation, if you make a deal with them and help them achieve their goals peacefully, you get even more reputation for being a negotiator, if you strike up a deal with them to bring them the corpses of the living villager, well duh you'll get evil reputation
Objective:
You must make your way through the world, solving problems, queling rebellions, slaying werewolves, establishing peace, and find out what happened to your father

Reputation: If your a noble person, people will be kind and eager to help you, if your evil, people will react negatively towards you, and give you more influence in things like the black market, or thiefs guild.

Art: heres a few images of the terrain i have so far, mostly just castle rooms at the moment

Minor Quests: This is where ill post all the minor quests
Will o' the Wisp
Plot: Deep in the forest you find a small lumberjack post with some very frightened lumberjack, it seems they've got quite a few problems stacked up, their horses have run away, and the men are sluggish and fearful of wandering far from the camp, theres a ominous feeling about the forest, as if it lives, the trees moan in the strain of the winds.. as of recently there have been strange events, the men call this place cursed, but the foreman refuses to leave, he offers you a small fortune to stomp out the problems caused by the spirit of the forest..
Solutions:
Evil Solution, you hunt down 7 will o the wisp and kill them, breaking their hold on the forest
Good Solution, you avoid killing any wisps and keep the lumberjack safe by chasing off the wisps
Middle Solution, you pay an old hag to bind the spirits back into the trees, so they can do no harm
in all solutions you gain 300 gold, and a reduced cost for lumber
Ghost Vision Solution, you see the ghosts behind the wisps and solve all 7 of the wisps unfinished business

Major Quests: This is where ill post all the major quests
The Lonely Ghost
Plot: Any time at night (and only night) you can find a ghost roaming around the castle, you attempt to talk to him but he cannot talk, if you talk to the bishop, he tells you to find anything of the ghosts posessions in life, you go to the barracks and find his friend, his friend gives you his sword and you bring it to the ghost, the ghost will now talk to you.. he explains how he died, and his regrets in life, he speaks of a women whom loved him, and he never got the chance to tell her he loved her also
Solutions:
Evil Solution, you talk to the Priestess of Oasi and she tells you how to banish him from the world, you gain the ability to banish the undead
Good Solution, you find the women, ask her to come talk to the ghost, he confessed to her and asks her forgiveness, she gives him it, you gain a passive ability with a 10% chance to seduce the undead into joining your side
Middle Solution, you fail to convince the women to come to him, and lie to him, you convince him she still loves him, but shes bed bound and cannot come to him to tell him herself, he finds his peace in your silver words and gives you his sword
In all solutions you gain the ability to see ghosts, shades, and invisible units, which opens up many mini-quests and alternate solutions to other quests.

Allow me to be the first to say, Amazing. I can't wait for it to be finished. also, if you can answer me just one question, why is everyone so obsesed with using reputation? Its just like sliding. well anyway. I think your map couldn't be nearly as good as it seems without the reputation.

i could name it something else if you'd like, but i can't really think of any other way to apply a reward for being good or evil..

I would assume its on TFT. And its a Campaign so only one person plays it. You cant have a multiplayer campaign.

I think the screen shots look great... but the interior is a little boring... I'm not sure what you could do to make it better but everything is just to much the same... the tables should be rotated just slightly so they aren't just going the same way... and try to aviod large open areas... maybe put in collumns (sp?) or just add some NPCs in that area.



EDIT: I guess now that I look back you don't have any REALLY big open spaces in those pics... but if you do put something there :p

i still have some 30 doodads yet to import and use, carpet's especially, so not all the rooms look the same, also, some rooms will be pretty barren, because throughout the game certain quests like "go to the river and talk to a man named bla bla, he'll give you my supply shipment, bring that to me"
then a supply shipment will appear in his room when you finish his task.. etc :D

im still debating how you will play everything out, i was thinking you start in a class, certain actions and quests will upgrade you, like a soldier to elite guard, elite guard to lietenant, onward, or you could just be a drifter from a small village who gets caught up in alot of shit..
im still thinking out the best method, but the weapons/armor thing sounds good

You sohuld have it where you start out with nothing. you odnt become a knight or a wizard but, get get abilitys from different things. So you say help someone find someone else, you get an ability. And you pick a weapon. So your never a knight or wizard. But depending on how you play you could be a guy with magical attacks, melee atacks and using a bow. Would be cool seeing that everything is influenced but how well you play and stuff.

I put the castle aside at the moment, i want to get the basic layout of every map i will be using, then go through and fine tune them, at the moment im making a costal map, which ill be putting up for viewing soon

Ill keep you guys in mind, stavious has his own campaign to worry about though, i think a majority of the quests i will do, and maybe apply a few you guys suggest, because i have a good idea of how i want things to roll :D
i can do major quests, and small quests, but i want alot of small quests, so if you wanna help, get a feel for the castle/units/terrain, and other maps once i get them up, and see how the places can interact :D
