I have an idea for a quest which might be a bit of fun.
It involves a Sylvari character called “Mordrem Treeman” who looks and sounds like the famous Hollywood actor, Morgan Freeman. Poor Mordrem has been imprisoned by the pact in “Shankshaw Prison” and he finds a way to contact you, the player, with a message requesting help in escaping. Now that Mordremoth is defeated, it’s evil influence has no more hold over Mordrem Treeman and he is, essentially imprisoned unjustly as he is now as good as good can be.
It is up to the player to stage a daring prison break and free Mordrem Treeman from his unjust imprisonment.
That’s basically the idea as it is so far.
On a practical side, this should be OK to implement as parody is covered under fair use and shouldn’t be subject to copyright, so it shouldn’t be an issue for Arenanet to reference either Morgan Freeman or “The Shawshank Redemption”
There is a very talented impressionist (who I have no affiliation with and have not contacted about this idea) named Jason Stevens who does an excellent Morgan Freeman impersonation (among others) and I would suggest using him for voice acting duties as he would be substantially cheaper than the real Mr. Freeman.
He has a website jasonsvoices.com where samples of his work can be heard.
I think this idea would be a nice bit of fun to introduce as a side quest or part of an event chain or some living story content etc.
If anyone in Arenanet decides there is merit to this idea and wants to run with it, I would be very happy to see it appear in game in future and I’m sure it would raise a smile with several players….plus, who doesn’t like daring prison breaks?
