Genre - ADVENTURE

Not strictly "beat up some guys/monsters" action, but action/adventure. Something more along the lines of Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider or similar, where there are things to explore that also includes puzzles, running around, maybe fighting some stuff... we had an expedition a few years ago that was like this (I can't even remember what it was called) where groups got separated by a cave-in. I'd love to do something like that but maybe castle-wide instead of being strictly limited to expedition groups.

TOMB RAIDER, YES. I think you're talking about the expedition Jr. and Sylvanas led, to Cair Libet? I personally had a blast with that one! There were puzzles, riddles, mazes, and all kinds of fun stuff. Especially with Paradisa's mysteries and the huge world beyond, there are so many opportunities for this sort of thing both within and without the castle.

I definitely agree with giving more opportunities like that to people who remain behind at the castle, even if I love expeditions, because some people just can't or don't go on expeditions but still shouldn't have to just sit on their hands for it.

Yessssss.

Straight-up action scenes can get old. Events where dangers can be scaled are more widely playable. E.g. i'd love for non-combatants to still have the opportunity to hike and find sweet loot without getting mauled by tigers. At the same time, there are areas only fighters would survive in, or areas where you need a mage in your party, etc....
