Talk:LEGO Dimensions (video game)

Plot

What if the plot description is written in a way that only includes the information of the actions that makes progress in the game? I mean writing it from a point of view that only sticks to the main plot that leads into the next level...

Like in the "Harry Potter"-games, you get to explore all of Hogwarts and collect stuff and such, but the main plot is the only way to complete the games. --DCLM ☎ 07:13, October 10, 2015 (UTC)

DIFFERENT CHARACTERS

I have added links to Batman and Gandalf (LEGO Dimensions) on the basis that they are clearly 'real' and different to their fictional counterparts.--90.221.128.67^{talk to me} 09:44, October 10, 2015 (UTC)

While I can see where you're coming from, it's notable that that has not been our precedent on pages like Spock. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 20:59, October 14, 2015 (UTC)

John Leeson

Does anyone happen to know if John Leeson recorded new dialogue for the game or not?MystExplorer ☎ 23:16, November 15, 2015 (UTC)

Certainly not. The only characters with unique dialogue are the ones who are definitively in the narrative. Twelve is in the level definitively, K9 isn't, and K9 pretty much just has a few odd line3s from the series. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 18:02, November 16, 2015 (UTC)

I heard he did record new dialogue and that the only archive recordings used were for lines involving the other Doctors. Is there a definitive list of what DW cast members did record new dialogue. I know a few couldn't have recorded very much: apparently Jenna Coleman only has a few lines but they're newly recorded nonetheless. 68.146.52.234^{talk to me} 16:15, January 20, 2016 (UTC)

Additional info added

I've added some introduction to explain the plot of the overall game and to explain what is accessible without buying the add-on pack. I also added a section on the Adventure World levels which are also only unlocked if you place the Twelfth Doctor or one of the other DW characters on the game interface. It's not open otherwise. I haven't played it thoroughly but the first Adventure World visited gives you mini-missions from Missy and Vastra. 68.146.52.234^{talk to me} 16:13, January 20, 2016 (UTC)

In the current version of the article it says there is one level that takes place within the DWU. Which is this and should there be a separate page for it (since the invalid tag covers the whole page)? --90.197.241.198^{talk to me} 18:23, September 16, 2016 (UTC)

LEGO page

Since now LEGO is a publisher of DW content, wouldn't it be better to have a in-universe page and a separate page for the company itself? It seem quite weird to link "LEGO Dimensions was a video game released by LEGO in 2015" with a in-universe page on the middle of the sentence. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 19:24, December 8, 2016 (UTC)

So, any opinions on this? OncomingStorm12th ☎ 21:37, December 17, 2016 (UTC)

Eleventh Doctor outfit

Even discounting the green longcoat in Let's Kill Hitler, The Girl Who Waited, Closing Time and part of The Wedding of River Song, the Eleventh Doctor does not wear one uniform outfit (especially shirts and bow ties) between The Eleventh Hour and The Angels Take Manhattan (an era which includes three costume designers). Can this be amended to the specific stories that that's based on? -- Tybort (talk page) 01:27, January 27, 2017 (UTC)

DWU?

In the fourth paragraph of the article it says 'One level in the main game took place in the DWU'. The phrasing is unclear - does this mean one level in the game is Doctor Who-related or does this mean one level of the game is valid? --Borisashton ☎ 17:39, January 28, 2017 (UTC)

I think it simply means that the level is set in the universe of Doctor Who, just as others are set in the universes of Back to the Future and the Wizard of Oz. From what I understand, this game is about hopping between various popular fictional universes. CoT ? 18:22, January 28, 2017 (UTC)

The game has a main story mode which is where all the actual crossing over (narratively) happens, during which the Doctor plays a reoccuring role. Then you have all the individual “episode” packs for each franchise which are all completely self-contained from the main story. The Doctor Who episode could theoretically work as an in-DWU story as it doesn’t include any appearances, narrative-wise, from the other franchises iirc (the ability to use other characters in gameplay via the gamepad notwithstanding).

Dalek Extermination of Earth validity

I understand why the games main storyline with all of the crossovers can’t be classed as valid, but surely the same can’t be said for the Doctor’s self-contained mini episode? WaltK ☎ 20:46, October 3, 2019 (UTC)
