Random thought I had about I-15 and Going Rogue...

So, I was mulling over the whole morality spectrum being introduced... and I remembered the branching dialog functionality that was used in Cimerora... and then I remembered that I-15 is said to include various upgrades to the MA system... then it hit me: perhaps one of the things we'll see added to MA is the ability to add branching missions... with "good" and "evil" paths... to help get us ready for what's to come.

This would not only give us a chance to start working on arcs that will shift our alignment, but also give the devs valuable data on how much individual actions should count towards the shift... before actually giving us anything that comes with a change in morality. Whether or not they'd actually let us see the value, they could add the data field to our characters that holds the morality score, and let AE creators perhaps choose 3 levels of good/bad value for specific objectives.

Whether or not this is actually their plan, who knows? But if one should happen to see this thread, consider how great it would be to head off the AE morality-farmers before Going Rogue is released?

Er... This actually isn't a bad idea, from a testing standpoint. However, I would only start testing this before the Going Rogue release. Although for some reason, I'm having bad feelings as to whether this would benefit anyone, having this hit live before Going Rogue even hits Beta, even with the Alignment Mechanic not yet implemented. It would ruin the air of mystery and anticipation.

On a positive note, while I'm not sure if I would include badges for such a feature, I wouldn't really see the point for them for a pre-Rogue Alignment Mechanic if it would only be used for data purposes upon initial release. It would be great for Mission Architect arcs in terms of providing new paths to provide story depth. This would have to require the developers to consider revisiting some existing arcs/creating new arcs in an attempt to cover a few more bases before the final decision process for the Going Rogue Expansion. The developers would no doubt need additional data from any sources that could be provided.

I'm still not sure whether to pass or fail this, but it's certainly a nice idea!
