Durin's fate in the Edain Mod

<< < (13/29) > >>

Walküre:
The first option doesn't displease me either, for it nonetheless encompasses some kind of decent detachment from the One Ring. Of course, the evil artefact is still used, but for the good and the focus still remains on Durin's spirit/incarnation, which is what allows the character to bear that burden. I had not thought about Gandalf the White, I confess; I find the example proper, as I like the design and motive of his Ring form. Needless to say, Galadriel's system would then retain its unique characteristics and this is of the utmost importance for the game. In the end, I would be equally satisfied with the first solution, were you to elect that way :)

As for the Valar, I think that a blessing from them should not be regarded as a true direct intervention in mortal affairs. They would never leave their blessed continent anyway, with the prospect of sending a host being even less likely, lest additional wounds be inflicted on Arda. But I also understand why you would be more comfortable with having the idea of a blessing be related to Galadriel only (given her ethereal and noble nature). And, yes, more heroes should rediscover their own ancient might 8-)

I think I support the first option. I like that Durin VII concept. I think about the current ring-hero system that Thorin's is correct .The Arkenstone, what has more less power than the One Ring,  also corrupted him. There isn't too much information about young Dáin in the books, but in the movies, he is an agressive, hot-headed warlord, hence he maybe accept the One Ring, if he know about it. Old Dáin is more wise and he refuse Mordor's 'help' in the books. I think your idea is quite acceptable and canon-compatible, and so 'Durin' also would return in the game.

Just as a moderating remark, if you feel that you have almost come to a conclusion, it should be better to prepare a draft of what will be the main presentation post, comprising the lore background of the proposal and the concept itself; additional details may be included later, once the whole thing gets more and more polished. But only if you deem the final design proper for being finalised.

We should definely go towards the first proposal i deem it  a good compromise among all the various configurations we have made (gameplay,lore, ect). I was meaning exactly what you write about the Valar : i see them as gods that can eventually intervene (undirectly), not physically, but sending gifts/blessing or someone who can rapresent their own (see the Istari). But yes to improve the uniqueness (one of the main characteristic of Edain 4.0) we can keep this divine matter related to the Lady of Light, and concentrate the attention on the reincarnation, which would be a certain new special feature of the game and a very important piece of Dwarves belief/mythology :)

I was thinking about this just today because i just spammed too many comments on this matter and maybe it is not a moderating way to act  :D :D i apologize if i also bored the readers  xD. Now that we are near to a stable idea, i'm gonna start to collect in a unique post the salient points, and try eventually  also to finalize the skill-set of our character, which will be (possibly)  the hearth of the concept in game :)

P.s : everyone interested in the concept is invited to contribute, starting from Blue which is the first promoter and developer of all the Durin VII stuff :)


 

Walküre:
Oh no, I didn't mean anything negative with my statement. Have you noticed how much we have 'spammed' for the other proposals? :D

All contributions are equally relevant for me. I just wanted to inform you of what should be done, if you are ready to give this concept an ultimate fashion. I won't take part actively in the process, as I am busy with other tasks that need be taken care of.
