I thought
for Blaugust I would write a series of unfinished stories I have found in the
world of Norrath. These are stories and quests that I think of as unfinished
and could be used in future content.
The player
never seems to wonder at what happens next, we killed the main bad guy and
everyone lives happily ever after, or at least until the next bad guy shows up,
and we repeat the cycle over and over, never really thinking of our actions and
what the repercussions may be.
The
unfinished story I am going to write about is about pirates and more
specifically gnomish pirates.
The quest
is from the Destiny of Velious Expansion which was released on February 22,
2011 and was the 7th expansion for EverQuest 2 so most people won't even
remember this quest.
In the
Great Divide on the Thurgadin Docks stands a female gnomish pirate captain
named Captain Bin Nalot she is the Great-Great-Granddaughter of Captain Nalot
who could be found in the Iceclad Ocean in the original EverQuest and what part
of the Pirates of Iceclad.
Right now
she is a Captain without a ship and she asks you to help her get the materials
to build one. As the series progresses you manage to get enough supplies to
build a small ship but than she wants a larger ship and she asks you can go
diving and recover any loot from her Great-Great-Grandfathers sunken ship. You
manage to find a lockbox that contains a old contract for an new ship to be
constructed that was never fulfilled. She asks you to convince the gnomish
shipbuilders to fulfill the contact and then collect her hidden gold and get
the measurements from her Great-Great-Grandfathers sunken ship. With this all
in hand construction now begins on her ship.
As a side
note there is another quest series from Dort Lumrick who is part of Captain Bin
Nalots’ crew.
Now why I
consider this story unfinished is because to this day the ship is still sitting
unfinished. As you progressed thru the quest you saw the small boat appear, and
then saw the construction of the larger ship take the place of the smaller ship
so the mechanic to have objects appear when they have completed a quest is
readily available so it would be an easy manner of showing a completed boat
after a certain amount of time has passed.
The
developers could than continue to fill out the rest of the continent of Velious
which I believe hasn’t all been explored, why I think that I will leave to
another post.
Lastly
this would finally close this story and the gnomish captain who has waited so
long would finally have her ship.
