Feature Suggestion: Figurines #701

Open scottfurry opened 6 years ago

After playing through Empyrean Campaign a couple of times, one thing that jumps out is that there is a disconnect in explaining the details of the figurines to the user. Unless one has read through the map files their importance is not talked about. I'd like to suggest...

Since the unlocking of the Halls of Infinity is completely optional, I prefer having it so that the player needs to connect the dots themselves. The flavor text for each figure indicates that they are part of a 1-4 series. Combined with the fact that the plaques in the Halls of Infinity are also labeled 1-4, it shouldn't be too hard see the two are related.

I'm not against adding some backstory to the figures. You suggestion sounds good, but I would tweak it a bit by having the people in Perdition Harbor not know about the figures themselves. Instead, they would point the player towards Yora in St. Maria. She's not utilized in any of the quests, and the fact that she sells trinkets could mean she's more knowledgeable about the figures.

I connected the dots and located all the figurines (with some help because I'd accidentally not picked up the cat figurine), but I didn't realize that the Halls of Infinity was not the final end game content.
