New Quest Idea

WayniacWayniac Member Posts: 132
in Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear
-Mainchar finds the Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity in BG1 and exports character with the girdle in inventory (much like the golden pantaloons)
-In exchange for the girdle, Mizhena rewards Mainchar with a unique and slightly damaged piece of equipment (preferably a blessed weapon or piece of armor), which for the time, is superior to most other equipment available
-The text on the item mentions that if it could ever be restored, it could be quite a powerful piece of equipment
-In BG2, Cromwell explains that he is able to restore the piece of equipment to unlock its full potential
-Upon receiving what is now an awesomely powerful piece of equipment, it is explained that the individual who originally forged it was unable to complete the entire (very magical) process and if they can be found, they may be able to finish the process to improve it even further

Cursed item from ogre -> useful item from Mizhena -> powerful item from Cromwell -> godly item from ???

Two positives to this: 1) it'll allow background development of Mizhena and 2) will provide a link that is strong enough to connect characters from all of the games while simultaneously allowing the player to ignore it completely if they choose to by simply ditching the girdle in BG1.

    Although I agree that it would be great to include her in other quests, I find your post to be faulty and hypocritical.

    As long as there exist sexual themes within the game (romance-able NPCs, brothels, quests uniting lovers, etc.), by suggesting we ignore her sexual identity would be the opposite of treating her like anyone else in the game.

    ... Why?

    You're right, my friend. Can we just focus on the quest idea? I really was posting because I thought it'd be cool if we had a quest with items that could be upgraded throughout the entirety of all of the games!

    Okay.
    The Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity is a very nice and funny item. However, it is useless.
    I do not know why it should be improved... unless you want to develop something like the BIG METAL UNIT. That would be great :)

    That's partly what I'm suggesting. The big thing with the BMU was that you couldn't use it at all until the end of ToB. I guess I was suggesting something that can maybe evolve into something crazy awesome like that, but is usable throughout all games instead of something that you carry around and can't use until the very end.

    So I guess my suggestion would be the love child of the pantaloons and the flail of ages.
