[Idea] A bunch of random levels and miniquests with no conne

Post » Wed Jun 22, 2011 10:55 pm

So I was thinking of what I would do between finishing my current project and the release of Skyrim, and I had an idea. I was first thinking of doing some sort of '100 trials' type things. But I didn't think I could make 100 of them, and make them get increasingly harder and do all that, so I want to do something slightly different.

How would you guys like a bunch of random interior and exterior areas where the first time you enter them you get a simple quest to do there? I would make each zone/quest place/etc one at a time, and just release them in an update as I finish. It would be like a room with maybe a terminal explaining the place, then a hallway. This hallway would be full of doors that each lead to a place. Much like the backdoors in the matrix. You would enter one of these doors and find yourself, perhaps outside in a grassy field, inside a dark cave, in a ruined office building. And you would receive a basic quest saying something like 'kill the dungeon boss'. You then explore the place, loot stuff, kill things, and kill the boss, then leave. I would probably make like 1 a week if not more. Each one would be short, but I would add alot of them. Would this be cool? Or would it be too immersion-breaking if none of them were connected at all, and it made no sense that you went from a hallway with 40 doors (there would be 1 door to start, and I would add a door with each level that I do) to some random other unconnected place?

Pretty much I just want to make random levels, fill them with enemies, and let you guys have fun. But I want an excuse to release each place as I complete it, and not have to make up some overarching plot or anything.

Would you guys like this?

Let me explain each poll question:

1. Would you rather enter an area, and have a simple objective like 'reach the end' or 'kill the boss'; or would you rather it be a very small quest, like 'save some prisoners' or 'steal this object'. Or would you rather have a mix?

2. Would you guys rather each new place I add simply be 'Level 1', then 'Level 2', 'Level 3', etc. Or each place has a unique name, and the quest that goes with it is a legit quest name. Possibly some more 50's Vegas puns? :P

I just want to make a bunch of really detailed new places for you guys to explore. I'm just not sure exactly how exactly to go about doing it. If you want an example of the level of quality I plan on making each place, look at the pictures below.
