I have recently been playing a good deal of Borderlands and Borderlands 2. In case any of you are unfamiliar with Borderlands, there are litttle robots called "claptraps" which guide you around the game and add a little humorous dialogue. This got me thinking about making a minecraft adventure map with turtles behaving as claptrap. Before I go crazy and spend a ton of time writing dialogue, plot, and programming turtles I wanted to get a general idea of what people think of the idea.
Some things Claptrap might be responsible for in this adventure map:
- Opening doors (he loves to do this in Borderlands)
- Acting as a guide for the player
- Telling the player what objectives he/she has or has not done
- Rewarding the player with items for completing objectives
Some elements that could be incorporated into the map:
- An actual storyline
- Boss fights (TNT cannons, 8000 skeletons, etc)
- Built-in programming missions (e.g. program a turtle you are given to execute the task given to you [such as build bridges])
- A reward system (using claptrap) which would give the user things like enchanted weapons
- A level system: the higher the level, the better rewards a player would get
Below are some extremely primitive and quickly done screenshots of what it might be like. Keep in mind that I am no builder and in fact I might ask somebody to help me out with the building part.

Give me some feedback! If you have a suggestion, or even if you think this is a terrible idea, don't be afraid to tell me. I want to know what people think :)/>/>
