![]() “The Little Mermaid” is directed by Oscar® nominee Rob Marshall (“Chicago,” “Mary Poppins Returns”)with a screenplay by two-time Oscar nominee David Magee (“Life of Pi,” “Finding Neverland”). The film stars singer and actress Halle Bailey (“grown-ish”) as Ariel Jonah Hauer-King (“A Dog’s Way Home”) as Prince Eric Tony Award® winner Daveed Diggs (“Hamilton”) as the voice of Sebastian Awkwafina (“Raya and the Last Dragon”) as the voice of Scuttle Jacob Tremblay (“Luca”) as the voice of Flounder Noma Dumezweni (“Mary Poppins Returns”) as Queen Selina Art Malik (“Homeland”) as Sir Grimsby with Oscar® winner Javier Bardem (“No Country for Old Men”) as King Triton and two-time Academy Award® nominee Melissa McCarthy (“Can You Ever Forgive Me?” “Bridesmaids”) as Ursula. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea and, while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. Oh, and the ability to make player-created kingdoms, but that's not entirely unheard-of I suppose.“The Little Mermaid” is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. As would the in-game ability to do things like bury treasure and then craft maps that other players can purchase, or set up open requests of the caliber you see NPCs do, like "So-and-so requests that N number of mob X be killed".of course this presupposes a dynamicly generated mob spawning system that is both logically consistent (so that removing them from an area isn't pointless) and unpredictable (so that you can't exploit it easily). An actual map available to players or in cities that says "here are the current borders of all the player-made kingdoms in the land" would be amazing. Which is wonderful in its own way, but it's not very inclusive. One thing that bothers me about EVE, for example, is that you don't really get to see the dynamic political landscape in-game - it all happens by players posting stuff to websites and message boards. I would love to see a system like this that all operates in-game, specifically. In other words, let players set other players on quests, or say if you want something crafted, you would send a request to a crafting guild. It made me start thinking about how grand it would be to have a large community-based political system, economic system, and even class hierarchy in a virtual world that did not necessarily rely on the developers to hard code in mechanics. Skyrim is completely open thus giving the option not to play the part of a hero. Tl:dr - MMO Tends to be closed in terms of story telling, player are always forced to quest as a hero. I can spend the game acting as a farm hand earning an honest wage to buy food and bedding without playing the part of a hero.Īs far as I know the only game where one could truly label it character as just another individual in the universe is Eve. The open nature of Skyrim does not forces the player into acting as a hero, although yes your character is the dragon born and is gifted with abilities to pause time to eat 50 apples. ![]() ![]() ![]() In most MMO, the linear nature of the quest system means that in order to progress you must act the part of the hero/villain so for example a typical quest could be defend X area from Y creature for 5:00, on completion of the quest you are fed a variation of thank you for saving this village. Actually it's interesting that you would use Skyrim as an example of being "the Hero", narratively speaking I would say heroes within MMO act more heroic then your character in Skyrim.
