a dreamer

My vision of the game is that it would take place at some point in the middle of AA, so Fitz is around 15.

It would be a sort of "open world" and you could explore all of Buckkeep, the town, and the areas surrounding the castle.

The main "plot" would be trying to stop Regal's attempts to kill Verity and Shrewd, and there would be three endings. The bad one is Regal getting proof that Fitz is witted and Fitz would die in very much the same way as in RA. Another ending would be Fitz killing Regal and then getting executed or banished. And the good ending is Fitz stopping Regal without killing him, managing to convince Shrewd to banish Regal.

There would be a lot of side quests assigned to Fitz from the other characters, which may or may not interfere in the main plot. Chade would regularly give Fitz assassin missions that are disconnected from the main story but give Fitz the info he needs or gives him a leg up in some way.

The Skill would function as just a way for Fitz to communicate with others who have it. I couldn't think of how to incorporate the other uses of the Skill into the game mechanics.

The Wit would be a special ability that allows Fitz to sense other people/enemies. It would be used mostly during night scenes where the map would go dark and the only way to see where other people are is through the Wit.

Some rooms and areas are not open the whole time. Chade's room will open at random intervals and Fitz can't get in until it opens, and the game would not notify the player, so any mission that requires Chade's help will be extra difficult.

Using too much Skill gives Fitz headaches, and he has to take elfbark to recover. Using the Wit near the stables alerts Burrich and will kick-start an event with him. Similarly, Galen also senses if Fitz uses it too much, and it can lead to the bad ending.

Fitz's journal functions as a guide for the player they can consult for help, at the end of each day an entry will be added which recounts the events of the day and any information the player has gathered. Fitz can only access the journal on his room.

Some mini-games ideas: preparing poisons, helping Burrich at the stables, getting herbs and flowers for Patience, deciphering codes,and playing the stone game with Chade.

I would like the game to have secret rooms and easter eggs for the readers, perhaps things related to the Elderlings.

Here's the background for Fitz's room and the Great Hall, if anyone wants to see how they look without all the UI and stuff.
