[Discussion] Crestwood Please explain
A problem ive had since this game launched, why the hell is old crestwood IN THE DAM. Someone explain it to me, I cannot find any rational reason why other than maaaybe the locals were too stubborn to move to safety when the dam was built and when they got used to the water levels being consistent they just somehow forgot that the level could rise?
A quick run down for everyone who may have forgotten. Blight got into the town of crestwood. Mayor seperated the sick to the lower crestwood then flooded the town using the dam to stop the spread of the infection.
WHY [removed] would the town be there when the dam to the south of town FLOODS THE TOWN IF THE DAM FILLS UP. It isnt like the mayor commissioned for the dam to be made taller when he saw the blight arrived and the people were surprised it could fill that much, this dam would have had the capacity from the moment it was installed.
Wouldnt you design the dam to not flood the town at maximum capacity? or if the dam is so big that when filled it floods town, why wasnt the town relocated ahead of time knowing that when the dam was completed the town would be within the flooding range. and also because you dont really want a towns rotting remains to pollute the water that you are storing in the dam.....
I'm also confused because it was flowing nicely and when the dark spawn attacked the mayor just shut the dam so all water got trapped and it filled up and flooded and killed everone there. I'm struggling to picture the dam filling up so quickly that towns people didnt scream when their ankles got wet and evacuated before it trapped them in their homes. How does a large capacity damn just fill up that quickly that people couldnt make it to their boats, run up hill, or swim to the new shoreline, did it happen while they all slept?
It would make more sense if they were downstream of the dam and they didnt expect someone to open the flood gates and wash them all away with the sudden rush of water. But instead they were in the zone where the dam catches water and somehow no one saw it in time to escape.
Also. we go into the tunnels under the lake to close a rift..... HOW. How did this dam empty the tunnels BELOW the lake, water flowed up and out of the tunnels and then down through the dam? Or was the dam built so tall that it even controls water in the underground caves?
The only explanation ive got for that is that the tunnels have a natural way to drain sloooowly, and the water entered through the town. So when water was lowered by the inquisition the caves naturally drained themselves.
In short. Why was there a town IN A DAM? How did the caves drain?? and above all else, how the heck did they all drown in a filling dam?
I wonder why the town wasn't down stream instead.
Im so confused xD
