2) Sherwood Forest
Robin Hood and Drake have a heck of a lot in common. Both come off as “prince of thieves types,” con artists who are more complex than their greedy, dictator counterparts. Neither are necessarily evil, and both have their own merry band of thieving comrades they surrounded themselves with throughout the years.
I love the idea of contrasting Drake with other people in history, and Drake hunting for stashed treasure in Sherwood Forrest would be a great contrast, as we examine the different, and maybe not so different, ways Drake and Hood lived their lives. Better yet, why not switch back and forth between the two to create some dramatic irony? Imagine the set up. Drake spent the last of his treasure he found during Among Thieves. He needs some cash for a wedding. What happens? Him and Sully catch wind of Robin Hood’s Sherwood Forrest that actually has some gold left, and we explore the mythology of 10th century England. You reach a moment in the story, as Drake and Sully find some journal entry related to Robin Hood. Then the game switches to Robin Hood, as you take on an adventure pertaining to the treasure Drake and company are hunting down.
