Title: As I learn more about the factions
Post by: Rumze on November 23, 2013, 05:58:46 PM
I see more grey in them . The exile vs dominion really does become more chaotic vs civilized . I hope the exiles capital is nice and not too ramshackle

Random thought of the day

Not sure if I think 'Civilized' is the right word for the Dominion- I'd go for 'Ordered'. To me civilized implies a recognition and value for life.

The Dominion has spun into a fascist state. There's not to say there aren't good decent people living there still. After 300 years they've all been led to believe that Brightland was a madman and a failed usurper.

The Exiles are chaotic to an extent for sure. Life on the ragtag fleet would have been a lean, hard existence. And while the early Exiles were made up of honorable and decent military men, they were also joined by many low caste Cassians, some seeking a better life, and some of whom were pretty shady. A formidable criminal black market and gangs would have developed over the years in space, and those gangs/organizations will offload to the planet's surface like everyone else.

The Wild West is a pretty apt description for Exile society. The Exile's lawmen, the "Judges" are nomadic judge/jury/and executioners, and it's possible some of them are corrupt. There may also be 'Justices' which I am taking to be akin to a local Sheriff. The average Exile probably has as much to fear from some other Exiles as they do the Dominion.

I read that some RP guilds are setting up entire RP towns and are roleplaying 'Defiance' style. (Maybe they are a grouping of housing plots, or maybe this is just what people build in 'Settler' mode.) It would be cool to know the locations of these places and 'visit'. :)

Did you decide on a faction for Saga WS?

Exiles seems like the place to be . More chaotic and has more good overtones , with the info we have

Yea, I thought we had decided Exiles is the way to do. Although I would have fun playing a furry little psychopath I think I am for sure going Mordesh Spellslinger after the latest live stream.

EDIT: I was playing Diablo III with Daelgus while sorta watching the wildstream and I missed the part around 13:45 of the live stream where they talk about the different ranges and areas of effect. Definitely spellslinger I think.

Spellslingers don't have a lot of room for error in aiming, it seems, but I expect they pack more of a punch.

Yea, sounds about right. I think that decides me. Spellslinger it is. Watching the rest of this stream right now.
