If you were to visit any fictional location?

Good evening everybody! This is Aifos coming to you alive from the Mirror Temple, currently curled up in a ball, hiding in a corner, because I’m absolutely terrified! But no worries! I’m sure Papika will be here any minute to save me! So, while I wait for my bodyguard, let’s talk about fictional locations! There are a lot of them, and they have the unique benefit of not necessarily following the rules of reality! This makes them pretty interesting vacation spots if you ask me! My question is simple; if you could visit one, where and why? [b][u]Tl;dr? Here’s my point![/u][/b] Visit a fictional location! Where and why? [b][u]The rules;[/u][/b] 1. You only get to visit for a few hours 2. You can’t take anything back with you, including spells or abilities 3. You can’t die or be physically harmed while there (i.e. you’re temporarily immortal) My answer; Spoilers for Celeste. [spoiler]I think I would visit the Mirror Temple from Celeste. For those who don’t know, the Mirror Temple amplifies the powers of Celeste Mountain, taking whatever’s inside your head, and transforming itself into a nightmarish hellscape that represents the darkest parts of your personality. For instance, it turned very hostile and dangerous for Madeline, as a representation of her very self-harming nature. I feel like it’d be an interesting way to learn a little bit about myself, and maybe improve myself from whatever I see.[/spoiler] My answer 2; [spoiler]If I were treating it like a normal vacation, though, I’d want to go to Jirga Para Lhao from Gravity Rush 2. Cool place.[/spoiler] But that’s all for now, folks! Jambuhbye!

    Valinor. The "Earthly Paradise" of Middle-Earth. If you are a Tolkein fan who is only familiar with The Lord of The Rings, Valinor is "The West" that the Elves are always being spoken of as "returning" to, and where Frodo, Bilbo and (ultimately) Gimli went to "rest" after their trials as Ringbearers (in the case of the first two) and as a companion for Legolas when he maid his trip. Valinor is a City created by the Valar the "Arch-Angels" who were charged with the (sub)-creation of Middle-Earth from Eru (God)....and home to the High-Elves (Calaquendi). Before the Noldor (The High-elves in the Lord of The Rings) left to go to war with the Dark Lords of Middle-earth. Valinor is----literally----a slice of Heaven on Earth, and chance to walk among angels and the Elves at their pinnacle of power. To give you some sense of that power..... The Balrog that Gandalf fought at the Bridge at Khazad-dun was a fire demon. A fallen angel of similar power to Gandalf....a Maiar. (Gandalf's true name is Olorin). He agreed to manifest in Middle-earth along with the rest of the Wizards (Istari) at only a portion of his power to assist the Free Peoples in their struggle to fight Sauron should he re-emerge after Isildur's failure to destroy the Ring of Power. It took all of Gandalf available strength to defeat that single Balrog. Feanor, OTOH, was the crown prince of the Noldorin Elves, and leader of the Elves that left Valinor to fight the First Dark Lord, Morgoth (Melkor). He was the most powerful Elf to ever step foot in Middle-earth. First off, deciding to go to war against Morgoth is like deciding you're going to wage war on Satan Himself. (It eventually took the entire host of Valinor to ultimately defeat Morgoth). Second, Feanor died in the first battle of that war (Battle Beneath The Stars). He died taking on the KING of the Balrogs AND his entire Royal Guard.....at the same time. Feanor died.....but he took the King of the Balrogs with him. Feanor's half-brother Fingolfin eventually challenged Morgoth to single combat. Fingolfin was also killed. But managed to leave Morgoth with a permanent limp to remember him by. If you saw the Lord of the Rings films then you saw the scenes of where Galadriel was able to take on a very weakend Sauron in the Hobbit (Sauron == Necromancer of Dol Guldor)....and the terror she transformed into briefly as she wrestled with the temptation to take the One Ring from Frodo In the Fellowship of The Ring. [i]Galadriel is Fingolfin's Niece (daughter to his brother Finarfin) , and so she was just one generation removed from the power of Feanor. [/i] Edited for a geneology mistake.

                Well... since I’m immortal I’d hijack the CSO supercarrier in Halo Reach and destroy the other invasion force as it came in! Now Noble Six doesn’t die!

                      • Can I choose the time period? I'd want to choose either Anor Londo (in the Age of Fire, i.e. before it died) or one of the worlds that the Dragon Quest franchise takes place in (but before all the world destroying demonic deities showed up.) But if I can't choose the time period, both might be pretty awful to live through even if I was immortal for a few hours...

                          Aw man there are way too many awesome places to visit for just a few hours. I'd probably want to visit Morrowind the most out of any location from The Elder Scrolls, even if every Dunmer there would hate my guts, even if I joined the temple and managed to complete all the pilgrimages of the Seven Graces. Would be fun to try though. Getting all the items required would be a pain in the ass though. I have no idea how some random schmuck who doesn't abide by video game mechanics and limitations is going to scrounge up the gold for one of the pilgrimage donations, let alone the potion of levitation, silver sword, dreugh wax, or soul gem for a few of the harder/more inconvenient ones. And taunting a Dremora into attacking, then subsequently beating it into submission or banishing it to oblivion through combat. Honestly that seems like the hardest one to accomplish besi- oh. Ohhhhh. You know that last stipulation actually invalidates completing the pilgrimage of Seven Graces. Damn. You see, for the Vivec Palace Puzzle Canal you have to drown yourself inside the innermost chamber before you can actually complete the pilgrimage, so that's impossible. Damn, oh well. ...At least i could go talk to Dagoth Ur if I could manage the trek up Red Mountain? Probably not, that place is a friggin' deathtrap at the best of times, let alone how impossibly sheer it's "paths" get. Hmmm. Oh, I know! I could rent a ride out to Sadrith Mora, rent a gondolier or somesuch out to Tel Fyr, and go talk to Yagrum Bagarn, the last living Dwarf! That'd be pretty cool. And I guess play a Guar-Skin drum for the inmates of the Corprusarium. Did I forget to mention that Corprus is an untreatable, uncurable, divinely produced disease that slowly drives it's victims mad while turning them into horrifically bloated and misshapen caricatures of themselves? No? It does! On the upside, you no longer age and gain extremely enhanced strength. That's a plus, right? No? Being turned into a pain-monster isn't worth it? Well I'm sure Divayth Fyr has something for you in that case!* *Divayth Fyr takes no responsibility for victims of corprus who agree to test experimental magical, alchemical, or mundane treatments that may or may not just outright kill them upon use/consumption. [spoiler]I might have gotten swept up in my love of Morrowind again. Whoops.[/spoiler]

That battle is one of my favorite scenes in the movie trilogy (or if we're talking books hexalogy), the way it was built is amazing, the visuals are incredible and the entire scale of the battle that takes place their is striking. Honorable mentions go to Destiny's version of Venus, Narnia, and Conneticuit
