The Story is about a invisible power, which wants to assume (take?) all magic in Faerûn.

Im in holidays for two weeks now :)

I dont know the story seems realy out of shape, i think it would be best for a simple one, but different. We've seen too much of an evil lord trying to steal or take, the fans want a new surprising story of Love, Action, Hate, Enemies, War, Betrayel. No offence but the story is a lame desperate story one that took u 5 seconds to think up. I dont care if u think im annoying for saying this i just think i would rather play your map, which i would like, with more stuff jammed in.

-falcoknight

You're totally right, the story is really lame till this point, I will think about a way to make it more interesting in the beginning, but believe me, there aren't enemies who are totally evil and want to conquer the world like LotR, but enemies with motives, intentions, who're in real relation with Drizzt and his friends.
I would hate to tell u the whole story here, but I know many good stories of books and games (Planescape Torment, books from John Marco and R.A.Salvatore), so please give me a chance, it's hard to make a story with so much freedom of action like in Baldur's Gate.

~Dinin

Is it? I'm not so sure if it is Mr. DoUrden ;) (sorry, I'm already bad enough with names, let me find a shorter one) I'm write stories daily, poems as well though not as often, anyway, if you have even the slightest touch to make a story, it wouldn't matter how much freedom you would have. Believe that from someone who experienced it more often ;)

Good luck though...
To give my own 2 cents btw, I don't think I will play this mod. I like Drizzt. I would not like to play as him. Just not something I would like to do...

Here is an idea for a story:

A few days ago a pirate ran across the ocean in search for the 'ancient crystal' but found an island, he met a guy to ask for directions or death so the man didn't want the pirate to find it, and the man had an enemy, the king. So the man told that the king stole it and that he lives (wherever he lives). Then the pirate found and killed him then found he didn't have it, so after anger he killed the town and any population on the island. Haveing more than a thief reputation the Pirate headed for Dragon City in search for the ancient crystal but it was guarded by 3 dragons, he sent his men to fight them, only 3 survived out of them who ran back to the pirate. The pirate was sick of there weakness and killed the three. After the fact the pirate went to fight the 3 dragons and told them a lie, he told the (one of them) dragon that (another) dragon has taken his baby and then the pirate wuickely took it and then told the (last) dragon that the (first) dragon took his egg. After doing so all the dragons got into a fight and the pirate took the Ancient Crystal. Now if this is an rpg you must take the crystal from the pirate and become an allegance with the great dragons, if its a stratagy game you ally with the dragons and defeat the pirate army.

It probably wont go this way but u could just change it a bit. Thanks :8

I don't even like that story -_-

Anyway, that story couldn't have anything to do with Drizzt anyway.

Do you need a voice actor?

1. It's ok, that u don't want to play as Drizzt, I understand your reasons fladian and thought much about it myself.
2. Fladian's right, the story has nothing to do with Drizzt and believe me, I have a good one that has to do with him (!!), but thanks that you wanted to help :)
3. I think I'll need voice actors later, but it's too early, there's much other work to do first.

Thx for your interest :)
