Exploring Eberron: Soupdance!
Although my wife doesn't know it yet, if we ever have another child, there's now a very real chance that we're going to call him or her Brawnpits, after my new favorite character in DDO. I think our entire group became enamoured with that name, but can you blame us? I don't think you can, especially after you meet Mr. or Ms. Pits (I have a theory it's a "she") in the first quest of the new Phiarlan Carnival chain that came in Update 5. On Wednesday night, our Massively DDO guild OnedAwesome set aside time to conquer this module, mostly because I was bouncing on the tips of my toes saying, "Can we? Please? Please? Pleeeeeeease?" until everyone capitulated just to shut me up. One of the things I love about DDO is that these newer quests are pretty innovative and varied, and I don't think you can get much different than a thespian giant, an illusionary pig, and toilets that double as rest shrines. Let's take a quick trip through the first two chapters of The Maleficent Cabal quest chain to see if it's worth your time -- and money. I say it is, if only to experience the majesty and jaw-dropping awe that is soupdance.
Newest round of DDO screenshots depict final Phiarlan Carnival quest
There's no doubt that Dungeons and Dragons Online Update 5 has had its share of troubles -- Turbine's still hard at work trying to sort out some of the difficulties -- but it's got plenty of upsides as well. Some of the most prominent of those have been the very well-received overhaul of House Phiarlan and the new adventure pack, Phiarlan Carnival. Haven't ventured in yet? The newest round of screenshots might just tempt you into giving it a try. Today's screenshots are of "Over the Big Top," the final quest in the series. The quest offers evil soothsayers, a guy who teaches you the secret behind the saw-the-lady-in-half trick, and trained hellhounds atop giant fireballs -- what's not to love? Check out the gallery below for a preview of the quest. %Gallery-94875%
