LEGO Dimensions (video game): Difference between revisions

[[Peter Capaldi]] recorded extensive new dialogue as the [[Twelfth Doctor]] for the game; for preceding [[The Doctor|Doctors]], archival audio was used, with American voice actor [[Chris Cox]] providing additional vocal effects. A number of other ''Doctor Who'' actors recorded new dialogue, including [[Jenna Coleman]], [[Neve McIntosh]], [[John Barrowman]], [[Dan Starkey]], and [[Michelle Gomez]], with [[Nicholas Briggs]] providing the alien voices. Elements of [[Murray Gold]]'s score for the television series was used, most notably "A Good Man," the Twelfth Doctor's theme from Series 8 and 9. Most televised arrangements of the [[Doctor Who theme]] from 1963 onwards were also used on the soundtrack.

Two expansion packs were released. The first, a "Level Pack", released on [[3 November (releases)|3 November]] 2015,<ref>https://nintendoeverything.com/lego-dimensions-wave-2-expansion-packs-now-available/</ref> included the Twelfth Doctor, [[K9]], and [[the Doctor's TARDIS]], as well as an exclusive bonus level, ''The Dalek Extermination of Earth''. With the first pack, the player had the ability to play as the different incarnations of the Doctor and access the ''Doctor Who'' World area, as well as accessing several secret ''Doctor Who''-themed levels within the main game. The second pack, a "Fun Pack", released on [[19 January (releases)|19 January]] [[2016 (releases)|2016]],<ref>https://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-dimensions-wave-3-expansion-packs-now-available/</ref> featured a [[Cyberman]] and a Dalek. The Doctor and Cyberman were actual playable characters; K9, the TARDIS and the Dalek were considered vehicles. Unique of all other vehicles available for the game, the TARDIS was the only one with an explorable interior in which studs (the game's main currency equivalent, needed to complete certain tasks and to call upon characters not owned by the player to solve puzzles) could be collected.

Once the TARDIS reappears itself in the [[Cyber-ship]], the Doctor escorts the group outside. Before leaving, the Doctor gives Wyldstyle his phone number in case of emergency. He does wish to join in their quest to save the LEGO multiverse, but said that him joining them at this point can mess up the ''Doctor Who'' World's timeline so badly that any damage 'so large you could drive [Batman's] ego through it'. As the TARDIS disappears, Gandalf, being confused, asks what is going on; Wyldstyle, however, said she couldn't explain it either, but theorised that another Keystone (Scale) is hidden in this world.

The trio then fall down into what appears to be a [[Dalek]] hub deep beneath the surface of the planet with dormant Daleks. Wyldstyle asks curiously what the Daleks are. Gandalf responds in relief that at least they aren't the Weeping Angels. Suddenly the Daleks reactivate and warn the group to stay still, but Wyldstyle foolishly says they were friends of The Doctor. Upon hearing this the Daleks go berserk and demand to know where the Doctor is. At which time the enormous Dalek emperor towers above them and orders his Daleks to exterminate them. The Dalek emperor uses the shift keystone to enlarge two ordinary Daleks and one special weapons Dalek to destroy the group. A long battle ensues, during which the group must use pieces of destroyed Daleks to construct a giant telephone to contact the Doctor, who arrives to save the day. After defeating the Emperor, they discover that this is actually a Doctor from the past who hasn't met them yet and Batman gives the Doctor his grapple gun.

=== ''The Dalek Extermination of Earth'' ===

In the future Earth, the Daleks are attacking [[London]] and converting humans into new Daleks under [[Davros]]' command. The Doctor and his friends have to shut down a series of Dalek generators and travel to Trenzalore and [[Skaro]] to put an end to Davros' schemes. Along the way, Clara Oswald can be optionally rescued again.

* This is not the first time the Doctor has found himself encountering characters from myriad franchises.
