Suggestions for Freeholds ... ... (November 2023)

Continuation Topic from the October Version, if nobody minds.
: https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/56447/suggestions-for-freeholds-october-2023/p1

A Miner House Suggestion for a possible Freehold - on a more or less steep Slope.

I think this could be very popular for People who want to play a Dwarven-Character.

What are your Thoughts, Guys ? Are you down for such a thing ? If you are a Mason/Stonecutter or something closely related to this ? Or someone who forges Ores into Metal Ingots ?

One more Freehold Suggestion for early November, Everyone.

A Place in an also very jagged and rugged-kinda shaped Area. In a more or less Canyon or Valley between high Hills, up to being more or less small Mountain Sides.

Maybe with a "River" going right underneath a Bridge that connects the House to the remaining Land around it ?

I am aware, my Suggestions are - "probably" - mostly unable to get realised with the Ressources at Hand for the Developers regarding Looks,

aside from if Intrepit Studios would have a whole Art- and Designer-Team just for Suggestions like these,

but my Suggestions are also mainly the " Places " in which the Freeholds could be.

Yes, they are supposed to be always somewhat close to the Node they belong to, right ? But what about the Idea of being able to create and build a Home in a wondrous Place, in the first Place ?

New Idea for a Suggestion of how a Freehold near a Node somewhere could look like. In the Case that there could be a certain Design and Look be able to be set for it.

Maybe kinda " Druidic " in Nature ? Maybe a bit more northern in Design ? Or more " orkish " ? Having a small Area fortified with a Stockade/Palisade made out from robust Wood ?

With maybe a few Houses ? One Main Building and a smaller One for Pets or Mounts ? Maybe one as a Silo to store Food ? Wares ?

Maybe ontop of something ? A former or still intact Crypt ? A Tomb ? Or something else ? Like the whole Freehold was build ontop of it -> instead of being a later Part build beneath the Freehold ?

LAST. SUGGESTION. I am quite satisfied by now - and slowly run out of Idea's.

The Concept here is always -> IMAGINE every - single - Location - where a Player or several Players can have a Freehold,

can have at least " One " unique and original Design how it looks. Nothing like a certain Race's distinctive House. Nothing like "The Unseen Order" or other Design.

Just a Design that is and can be unique to certain Location.

... ... ... what about a huge, spooky kind of Tower ?

Doesn't actually really matter for me, if the Terrain around it - would be a huuuge, flat Plane of Grassland, Flowers and a few Rocks or Tree's,

or this jagged and rugged looking Place in the Artwork with the many Hills around it.

Wouldn't be a huge, lonely looking Tower also be a cool Candidate for a Freehold ? For Example for a Wizard-type of Player - or a whole Group of Wizard/Sorcerer-type of Players.

THIS HERE is supposed to be my last Suggestion.

If you wish, You can add' your own Idea's here for Freeholds.

You were the only topic which feels like this belongs to.

But I doubt we would get something THIS cool.

Thing is,
as cool as this Suggestion and a few others are -> we All know we are not getting anything Castle-like as a Freehold, because that would look kinda weird as they are planned as just Landowner- and Farmland-like Estates,

and there will already be five mighty Castles around the World of Verra.

But damn it feels nice from time to time, to put some fine or awesome looking Buildings and Places up into this Topic. 😁

Aszkalon

Jeah. Thought about it. Not opening yet another new Topic just for this Cause. 😁

Oh look. A Renkai-Freehold in Unreal Engine 8 from the Future. Just kidding, it's a Reallife Location.

but since Ren'kai seem to have Asian Style in Buildings, Ships, Armors - etc. Well i could imagine their Infrastructure to look very similar.

I like it. Could see this in a divine mode and there's a Shrine of Rensa or Norlan. And of course woodworking buildings for all those ship beams that need to be laid

Thanks.

Please look into the Predecessor of this Topic as well, in Case you haven't done it already.

Smol' Apology for that Topic being a bit chaotic as well. It had Two Pages and quite a few Examples. But mostly dark and/or wintery Places. ^.^

These Suggestions would mostly be Freehold Area's which would hold a kinda already predetermined Look and Design besides the One that the Owner of the Freehold could place himself.

Now this will most likely never be a Feature in the Game - but it would be a nice Idea and Concept, right ?

I am sure i posted this Artwork already once.

If we ever get to decide the " Design " of the Folks whoever what for " NPC's " might roam our Freeholds,

and be it only Flavor/Optic-NPC's for Immersion - even if they do nothing but "look" like they are working and/or being there,

When i should - with my Necromancer-Character - ever own a Freehold,
i will definitely go for a Look of a Freehold full of undead Servants.

I kinda dream of this since Autumn of 2023. As One can might guess - > the last Showcase/LiveStream-Presentation teased the EVERLIVING HELL out of me, with the huge Farmland full of Undead Farmers, which seems to be an Open World Instance/Dungeon full of Elite Mobs.
