I've had some more ideas for the beginning cutscene...

It is quite like the idea of walking through the rainforest to a village, except there is no rainforest...

Here it is so far, with the little boat thing...

----------

After the current...events, the man is found outside the town by the night guards. They bring him in, and for the next week or so he is tended by a woman, who will later join his party etc. The basic storyline is they go travelling through the lands, looking for something or other. Whilst they are travelling, the party (more will be added later) finds an oracle of sorts, or something similar that offers to unlock the mans mind. He refuses. A couple of months or so later, the party run into the national army, who is at the time fighting their neighbours. They find the oracle again. His mind is unlocked blah blah blah, he turns out to be a weapon created for unimaginble destruction etc. You get the point.

When more is written, it will be updated...
