Those are some of the most boring and dull ideas I have ever heard for a D&D game. If Larian were trying to create a game that helps people suffering from insomnia get some healthy hours of sleep then your ideas might be on to something but alas that is not what they are trying to do.
True. I bet you find modern Marvel movies to be the pinnacle of story telling or think Tolkien is garbage.
"LOL WHO WOULD EVER LIKE A STORY ABOUT A HALFLING AND A STUPID RING?!?!?1/1/ WHY DOESN'T FREEDO HAVE A TICKING TIME BOMB IN HIS CHEST AND GODPOWERS?!??!?!"
I have some better ones that you might like...
- So there is like... A WIZARD! AND HE HAD A THREESOME WITH LIKE... FOUR DIFFERENT GODS EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A THREESOME TO LULL THEM INTO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY! BUT THEN HE KILLED THE GODS AND STOLE THEIR POWER BUT THEN ANOTHER GOD LIKE TOOK HIS POWER AND NOW HE HAS NO POWER AND HE IS ON A MISSION TO GO KILL THE GOD AND GET HIS POWER BACK AND HE GETS SUPER POWERS!
- Then there is like... a Rogue... BUT HE ISN'T JUST A ROGUE HE CAN SPEAK AN ANCIENT TONGUE BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH HE LOOKS LIKE A HUMAN HE IS A DEMON LORD GOD-MAN BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW IT AND HIS MOM WAS A DRAGIN SO HE CAN TRANSFORM INTO A DRAGON ROBOT AT THE END OF THE GAME AND FIGHT THE BAD GUYS!
- Or like... A WARRIOR! BUT THE WARRIOR WAS... CURSED BY THE DEMON LORDS OF SADNESS AND HIS BLADE INFLICTS SADNESS ALL OF THE TIME! AND HE NEEDS TO GO KILL THE DEMON LORD OF SADNESS AND LITTLE DOES HE KNOW HE IS ACTUALLY A SUPER POWERFUL ANGEL THAT CAN MAKE HIS SWORD ON FIRE AND IF HE DOESN'T HE WILL EXPLODE AND NUKE AN ENTIRE CITY!
You can have 'boring and dull' ideas that are actually great if the characters are written well. Or you can Michael Bay it up over and over thinking that is actually interesting or entertaining.
