I'm making a rpg called A Dragons Tale II, which continues the story from my mostly failure A Dragons Tale.
The main storyline is
A Dragons Tale:
You're an elemental dragon living happily in the mountains far away from civilization, when the ruler of the land (human) gave the order to destroy all dragons and calling it *pest extermination*
The Kings Soldiers attack your family, and your family is destroyed. You
(and other players) escape, and when you get out of the mountains as a dragon child, and go on a killing rampage, searching for the king, and destroying humans whenever you can.
A Dragons Tale II:
You destroyed three towns to the south, and hearing that the king lives to the north, you head north to avenge your family.
Any ideas how to start off the Continuation, to make it a bit (at least) exciting?

Do it so that it starts off with the dragons flying away, then finding a human town.
Actually I dont want to get the idea of flight into players heads, or theyll start wondering why it isnt multalisks... im using element dragon choice of archon, hydra, goliath, ultralisk.
And there will be a town close by when the game starts.
One more thing, to make the game more interesting, If you can reach a certain house in the wilds, you meet an elf you met in the last A Dragons Tale, and he renews the fading illusion making you seem human that he put on your in the first A Dragons Tale.
Ok maybe you can put some storms in your game showing the dragons fury.
Edit:At the beggining (of course)
Have the dragons destroy a human town to start it off. Show the humans like doing chores and stuff then the dragons fly out of nowhere and destroy the place. Also dont' call it "pest extermination" have it be that a dragon like killed the Queen and the King automatically thinks dragons are evil and he orders all the dragons killed.
maybe teh dragoons were pets of the humans and the humans abondend the drags because of a reason-----and the dragons feel the humans have betrayed them so the drags try and get revenge but a few dragons try to become allies of the humans

Thank you. I think vindexus's ideas are the best, but i do not plan to make you play they 'bad guy role', just ruthless, cruel, and unforgiving.
It shows like 45 seconds of a little village scene with people laughing and playing and working and such. Then the dragons start killing stuff and after a bit control goes to the players.
will this game be story driven with some cutscenes or just killing and such?
There will be 'cinematics'
When u find the first town..
Certain parts of the story..
It will have a solid storyline.
is the leader dragon goin to be named Trogdor?
Thats a scary name

Leader dragon?
I might make encouters with other dragons, but none of them are gonna be leaders, trogdors, or nice.
This is meant to be a tragedy rpg

ok i got it, the dragons are peaceful calm friendly draggons, untill onne day, a natural disaster occurs and everything the draggons ownd was destryoed. many draggon family members/friends were either killed or injured or lost by the disaster. the draggons face many hardships and they meet new allies and enimies.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
they are trying to rebuild there city and find the lost draggons and thingies and stuff. howsabout that

Just have all the dragons in an already dead village near a fire with a nice narrate about
the King doing evil deeds to dragons in the North, then all of a sudden some peasants or knights (w/e) sorrounding you and the other dragons saying they need to kill you (but more of a dramatic way of saying that) and then turn over the dragons to the players.
Many ways you can have a opening cinematics uh i post a few and see if ya like any if not ah well i did try.
[First]
As child you watch your family dragons being slayed be soldiers. So pretty much you see what happening dragons fighting humans and humans fight back. But dust rose from the battle scene once the dust settled all you could see was blood and bodies all over the place. One final dragon stood in fields a elemental guardian dragon. He saw the last children of dragon lineage gave them the gift of elements. But at a cost he would have put them in a deep sleep for a few years untill dere bodies were strong and tough to take on the humans. So pretty much you would show the fight scene, dragon giving the gift to the dragon cubs or w/e u call them. And then you watch them turn into eggs. As Last dragon guardian walks away he ambushed by dragon slayers and turns dark says Dragon Tale II. This one.
[Second]
You start out and play the role as a soldier marching up the hill about to lay waste to dragons in roost you go in attacking and fighting so little bit of fighting as soldier. Then a boss dragon comes you have fight that and beat it. But after battle you the soldier finds some eggs in a dark hole, so you cover up the eggs so rest of army cant find them so that dragons will still exist. But at what cost?
[Third]
King wanted Dragon gold but only way to get it is take the life from a dragon. So in a greedy outrage king marchs towards the Mountains where the dragons roost. But when king enters moutains he is ambushed by pissed off dragons which turns into bloody battle you are part of this battle but get badly hurt and flee to the inner mountains where no man can enter to rest up till your healed and to get full recovered. When you come back to ambush site you find what is left of you Dragons ashes and bones. Which unleashes your inner elemental powers.
That all i could think of for now but meh.

My mistake oops sorry. Let me retry.
[First]
King is aware of a weapon that lies within mountains where the dragons slumber. He sends his finest army to defeat these dragaons and claim the weapon to get rid of this pain in his side. So would show soldiers going up a cliff heading to mountain and army / dragons fighting while someone sneaks into cave to claim the weapon. Once someone got weapon he use's it on dragons which slayers them or w.e. The Etemental dragons (you) is away doing something. When you return home all you see is ashes and dust and bones of your family. Which then turns your kind heart into a forsakenal rage. Then your quest begins to slayer the humans in your area.
[Second]
The Elder dragon of your Tribe is dying, It is unknown why he is. When the Elder Dragon passes on you see a arrow in his side a posionous arrow man made. Which sends all the dragons in den on warpath to kings castle. Which doesnt go to well, all dragons who went on frontal assault to castle were slaughtered. King was waiting for this, but what he doesnt know is (You) are most powerful etemental dragons yet, just your powers not fully unlocked yet.
[Thrid]
Dust sweeps across your den floor as shadows enter from the darkness. A Human stands over your family with a huge smile then rasies his axe and slaughers your family, children and more while your chained to ground by other humans. He slowly walks over to you and whispers in your ear " The king sends his reguards of your families death dragon " then he turns around holds his axe in one hand swings at you knocking you out, he thought he killed you but didnt only badly injury your body. Which can be healed. You have a dream from a godly dragon telling you its your destiny to over throw this king and so forth.
Maybe these help i hope.
