To Remember a Legend
There are many problems with the Icebrood Saga that have to do with development and storyline quality and all that...
But there's one thing I wish IBS could have given us that was off the beaten path, that would have nevertheless brought tears to all our eyes:
A chance to hunt down all the pieces of the legend of Forgal Kernsson. It would be a collection quest - there would be dialogue with NPCs who knew him or whose parents knew him, there might be old journal pages from Forgal's allies or people that he helped, we might even discover his old homestead. We'd discover legends about his heroism as a member of various groups he would have been part of... maybe he has an old friend still alive somewhere. Maybe there would be an event for facing down his corrupted family because he never got the chance to end their suffering.
We'd compile all this into one volume, or a song, or a poem of some sort that we could keep in our inventory; based on our race different parts might be emphasized, it might be a clumsy but heartwarming attempt at poetry if you're not a norn but wanted to try that, or perhaps a graceful prose if you're sylvari that you commit to memory and recite in your head, trying to draw out the emotions so it gets passed into the Dream. Maybe you leave a copy in the Vigil Keep, at Fort Trinity, by some memorial (which we should also have gotten at some point), you take a break from being the Commander and just travel the world, telling the tale of Forgal Kernsson because you never had the time or knowledge before...
The collection would unlock Warmaster's Family Heirloom as a wieldable weapon, but most importantly...
You would finally be able to open the Note From Forgal that gathers dust in the headquarters of the Vigil Keep. You would be able to open and read it. It might explain one or two holes in your research, or a contradiction explained; the things he wanted to tell you but was never sure how, or maybe it wasn't the right time but he wrote it down because he knew how battles are and he knew he might not survive. Maybe it's unfinished, or not signed, or still leaves parts of him a mystery that will never be known - because that's what death does, it steals. But it would have been addressed to you, and you would finally be able to remember him properly, and you would treasure it forever.
