D&D Online: Eberron Unlimited Update 3 Preview

Ten Ton Hammer has whipped up a preview of the third major update headed to Dungeons & Dragons Online since the launch of its Eberron Unlimited free-to-play component. New quests, a new casual setting, notice boards, modifications to the Vault of Night raid, and more:

Of course, all updates come with new quests. Update 3 is no different, offering four new quests for high level characters. The cool thing this time is that these new quests are all free content as well and won’t need to be purchased through the DDO Store.

The first quest we took a look at is entitled (Delerium.) Without spoiling too much of the story and secrets here, I will say that Turbine continues to push the envelope when it comes to creativity. Players will experience new puzzles and new creative interaction with NPCs. They’ll even be challenging some NPCs in solving puzzles. The quest is labeled appropriately since the entire quest takes place in an inn. What is real and what is a figment of the inebriated mind? You’ll have to figure it out. But you will have a lot of fun, and face some pretty hefty challenges. Be sure to bring your sense of humor with you. The devs had a lot of fun with this one, and it shows.

The second quest we were guided through was (Mired in Kobolds.) This is another adventure that players can really use the environment to their advantage. Players will soon figure out that the puzzles they need to solve to progress through the map also have a really fun side effect if triggered at the right time. The end of the quest will pit players against a juvenile dragon, which is no slouch, even on Casual setting. But beware! Something else awaits players in this quest, and let’s just say that it’s HUGE.
