Huge upgradeable castle that grows in size and staff along with each act in the game...too much to ask?

[powerchoke1]

To make it the base for my own invasion to cleanse those magicians from the face of the earth and to carve out my own kingdom and to be able to customize it.
And what be great that it has its own backstory and to be haunted by deamon or occupied by enemy forces so you had to lay siege to it before you get access to it

[Obrusnine]

I want the ability to choose where you want your castle, and after that, I want you to be able to upgrade it along specific paths, and depending on what upgrades you pick, alter how it looks visually. Like say if you concentrate on military upgrades, it'll look more like a militarized fortress from the outside with cool defenses, or if you concentrate on other things it will look less so. It would also be cool if story situations where the castle is involved change depending on what paths you upgraded your castle along. Maybe even have a little bearing on the ending.

This could be a very entertaining metagame if it's done right.

Customization schemes. Light and dark themes depending on player choice and profession. Choices and options. If you are going to add this wonderful feature, go all out to make it fun and personal for the player.

I'd also like to supply, feed, and train the garrison in the castle. Why? Because if I own a castle it'll be well oiled machine of military efficiency. Even if the damn place is never under attack I want it run smoothly.

And I'd like to host peace talks. And perhaps send off some of the guard to escort nobles and dignitaries with my leave. And if I have a castle it's reasonable to assume (although perhaps incorrectly) that I have lands and smallfolk that fall under my protection. So I'd like to protect them or not depending on my choices.

Like, for example, if a siege ever fell to the castle I could bring in all of the commoners to protect them from the enemy forces. At the cost of money, food, and efficiency since they'll all be in the way. Or toss them out into the cold so my force will survive longer in the siege.

That latter one ought to be the ruin of any lord that tries it. The whole reason that castles were as large as they were was because the lord needed to protect his peasants in a siege. If he didn't the attacker would kill them all, and there'd be nobody to farm his fields. Thus, he's screwed.

Debatable. There are quite a few examples in history where people threw out the commoners to outlast a siege. Sometimes to save the body you have to cut off a limb.

I'm not saying it should be the 'right' choice either. Merely that it be a choice.

War should be terrible like that. During his campagin into France Julius Caesar's oppoent let his commoner's out for the same reason. Julius did not allow them through the siege lines so their straving and dying in the no-man's land would demoralise the defenders.

Which it had to. Could you imagine standing on a wall looking down on your family as they starve to death or die to exposure?

Terrible horrible thing war... probably helped Ceasar win though. These are fun choices and one of the aspects role-playing games can really explore more so than other types of games.

[Rixatrix]

I'd like minigames, like Diamondback, some building-your-base quests, where you get stores, open up rooms/wings, and so on. Maybe some places you can activate with your LI, like having dinner at a table or a scenic view on a balcony. I'd also like to recruit NPCs to make it livelier, larger, and more useful.

Oh, and an inn/bar where there is a bard, diamondback, and drinking is mandatory.

What do I want to do with my castle? Hm. (Why have I not checked this thread out before?)

I hope we aren't forced to defend it against invaders. Especially if it's like in Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

I'd like to see customisation of the walls. To be able to set it up with banners from the Templars, the Seekers, The Chantry, etc. Though I'd probably choose the banners of the Inquisitor/s.

I'd like to be able to have my protag's LI move in, in wedlock or not.

To have a whole little battalion of dwarves riding mabari-mounted chariots, like what Oghren suggests in DA:O:A and the PC's personal summonable pet to lead the charge. The dwarves would be under contract, led by Voldrik Glavonak. There should be a quest where Dworkin "the Mad" Glavonak has been sighted not far from the castle. And you have to meet him with Voldrik accompanying you. He then does what he does, with a later quest about the Qunari and him.

I would like city elves from Orlais to be maidservants and manservants. Also, I'd like to be able to have affairs with one maidservant or one manservant, and have the LI confront you about it. Or, if you choose not to have an affair, your LI might, if you chose the 1 ****ty/casanova type companion.

There should be some sort of money related way to handle all the expenses, or perhaps have someone who can do all that without the player having to manually do it. It would mean that BioWare doesn't need to go to extreme lengths to make it all happen. So, maybe somthing like in Awakening.

I would also love a torture chamber, in the dungeon. Near the cells, is preferrable, but it definitely needs to be located below the main floor. You wouldn't want the torture chamber to be in the room who's door is situated on the left or right or the main (non-gate) entrance.

A throne room, that directly faces the main entrance, and is as big as a very large hall. in fact, it should be a hall. Similar to Ulfric Stormcloak's throne room, in Skyrim, only wider and taller. The ceiling should be the height of four men, standing on each other's shoulders. Or perhaps bigger.

I want selectable furniture, between Orlesian, Fereldan and Rivaini or Antivan. And the option to have all that stuff automatically chosen if the player wishes. I don't care if the range of furniture is not even half (or even a quarter) as varied as in the Sims 1, 2 or 3. I want chandeliers hanging from every room. 1 for small rooms, 2 for medium sized hallways, 4 for long hallways, 4 for the bedchamber and 4 or 6 for the throne room.

I want to be able to step outside, all the way around (or nearly all the way) the castle.

I want a chimney somewhere at the back, with a red and white clad fat guy, stuck halfway in (headfirst), with black boots waving. If you get close enough to it on the outside, you can here the frustrated mumblings of the fat guy.

And I want a puppy!

Griffons [though that probably wouldn't make much sense short of a Warden PC living in a Warden stronghold...]. War hounds [I'd say Mabari for nostalgic value but if the game is going to be primarily set in Orlais then maybe not]. Horses.

And rooms/quarters for party-members/companions. I'd like it if the castle functioned for companions as the party camp did in DA:O. **

So yes, I'm pleased and this interests me. Curious to see what they'll do with it.

** Also, under-floor heating.

I like the concept of the Sim Medieval by EA.

The Sims Medieval game begins with the Monarch's castle. As the game progresses, players can build more buildings in their kingdom.

1. A functional court


2. A busy tavern


3. Functional surrounding areas such as harbor, village, chantry, market place etc..



4. The Throne room


5. The castle

"Socialize" your castle?
I mean parties and interactions with your superiors/colleagues/little personal army:)

And a torture chamber! We are inquisitors, aren't we?

I want to use magic to make it fly around like the Hall of Doom from Superfriends.  Oh, and I'd like it to be skull shaped.

Nice. I think it would be cool if we had to build it or  lay seige to it.

In the old days If you want a castle you either build it or take it. (I assume it wont get passed down to us)

That's how Calenhad got his, isn't it? He inherited it from his cousin's lord, who died in battle along with said cousin. (This might sound boring, except that Calenhad fought in that battle.)

I thought the dungeons were separate a separate concept from the castle? Or maybe the castle is a dungeon that you move into when you're done crawling it?
