well i just finished and here come my thoughts.
- I like the idea of choosing an army to lead and to fight the problem is the soldiers dont really follow you probably maybe make them go forward through the patrol option? (i ended up going in alone somehow when soldiers were chilling at the start had to lure the gobs to them)
- you may want to make the room a big bigger and spread out the armys (both sides) this fight may be 'hard' for a class without AoE since you get 90% of the aggro
- Liked the decoration in the first room really felt like a 'magic workshop' there
- not really a comment but you may want to remove/change the arrow to the knee joke people seem to be getting a lil sick of that meme (i dont really care about that one either way though)
I like the idea of this, but you need to either tone down the numbers of the army, get rid of the water, or get rid of the light portal thingies at the sides of the room. Something is making the armies glitch out or lag (and it was not my connection, as it was working fine everywhere else). Also, I chose Elves vs Orcs, and the elves were wiped out on the initial Orc charge, and did absolutely no damage. In the end it was just me against a bunch of Battletested Orcs, which was not a fun fight.
*puts DnD nerd hat on for a bit of a nitpick*
Mordenkainen and Bigby are both archmages from Oearth (Greyhawk) and not from the Forgotten Realms. Yes, they could be present in Faerun via magical planeswalking methods, but that needs to be explained somewhere. (There have been articles in the past in Dragon where Dalamar, Elminster, and Mordenkainen were all present, for example, explained as a magical extra-planar meeting... I think the Simbul even dropped in to spy once.)
Bigby is 5'11" tall human male in his late 50s, not a dwarf.

Those are usually the fun ones...... I'll make a note of this and see if my CW can survive later tonight or tomorrow.
A CW should have an easy time considering they are good at pulling. Most complaints come from fighters as they simply have no ranged moves to pull with, and the game's AI doesn't make the troops follow as well as it should..
Well, I dinged right before I went to play it.... So, level 60! Yay!
And, yes, played and reviewed. Didn't see much point in putting a lot of effort into the review. Seriously, the quest was fun and my CW survived. This is in spite of having just dinged 60 - which I incorrectly assumed would result in my unfortunate and messy demise as I hadn't upgraded my armor yet.
FYI, Warforged vs Orcs was fun. I might replay it at some point, just to try the other armies.

Thanks for taking time to play/review my quest. I haven't really played the main game as I spend all my time either in the Foundry or at work, so I haven't got to do any level 60 testing as I'm just a level 21 TR. I'm glad it turned out okay. If you want to play my next work, subscribe to me and you'll find it. There are a couple of minor things I still need to change before I do the "official" release, like the idle animation for Melf which causes him to cough in the last scene, which isn't very spritely of him. But I'd still like some feedback, especially from a level 60.
That's a two hour one, right? I'll note it and bring it up one night when I'm being an insomniac. Less likely to get interrupted that way. I may be a housewife, but I spend all day taking care of my elderly mother. Short quests win where that is concerned, I'm afraid.

Nope, it's not two hours, that was my first quest, which I withdrew. This is my third one. It shouldn't take all that long, I rushed through it with my TR and finished in 12 mins, even though I died from being careless.
Comments
Thanks!
EDIT: Actually, let me add something. The red-water floor kind of makes it hard to see AoE circles. =/
I'm sorry about that, I can actually see how that would be a problem. Thanks for taking the time to review my quest.
it still needs reviews cuz its stuck at 0 plays ><

Both Mordenkainen and Bigby have wikipedia pages, fyi.
Speaking of wikis, the Forgotten Realms has a wikia of its own, which might be helpful for lore.
*takes nerd hat off*
Thanks for the info. I hate to spoil too much of my next quest, but I'll be using Melf, and I probably got that character all wrong too. lol
Thanks, I can't wait til the Foundry editor is fixed so I can do something better. This was a half-arsed attempt at proving a point to be honest.

Cool. I tried to design it for great replay value, so it makes me happy that so many people play it more than once.
