War Witch GR interview!

This one?

I find this interesting from that interview:

So, what does that mean? Influence doesn't translate to infamy perhaps?

If so, that might be another reason why we're getting the ability to mail Inf to alts in Issue 17.

... and the more I think about that, the more sense it makes. We can't mail Inf across the hero/villain divide, but we can send all our Inf to an alt before we make the transition.

Baby got BACK !!

Fixed.

EDITED to add: I think they need to make a GR movie... with Dita Von Teese as Desdemona.

Hey! Are you trying to derail my derailment?


Seriously though, the way it makes it sound is like there will be a set of "entryway" missions on both sides... and if you take enough of those "entryway" missions... then the rest of the missions from ALL sides will be opened to you. And if you are a hero and run too many villain missions, then you'll switch over and vice versa. At least, that's what it sounds like to me.

Sounds pretty cool if you ask me. I like the shades of gray aspect.

I thought it was worth a token futile effort.

To me it sounds like we'll actually get to make the key choices in the mission. War Witch says you can play the new GR content without using it to change alignments with, so from that I think there will be special 'choose your path' missions that you can wrap up in a heroic way or a villainous way.

For example, you're a hero retrieving some stolen cash. You could choose to pocket some of it for yourself. Nobody would be any the wiser. Or you're a villain who has a hostage to deliver to Arachnos, but you choose to let them go instead.

On a different note, from the second interview:

Ooh, first real hint of the endgame!

Considering that we will in fact be playing Praetorians in a few months time, adding in tech to have us fight Praetorian versions of ourselves doesn't seem feasible.
What the heck is the Praetorian version of a Praetorian?

A Paragonian?

Thats also in i17 due out in april though

Why am I the only one that thinks Desdemona was a chunkster as a teen? She looks like she could have done the truffle shuffle in her early years. XD

Oh no you didn't!

*lights the ShoNuff signal*

I can't help but picture a bloated 20 something year old Des'; spoon feeding herself ice-cream out of a tub of Ben N' Jerry's while crying over a guy that dumped her because she was fat.

No one else?


War Witch is awesome by the way.

1) She doesn't look much over 20 in the pics anyway
2) I've more of an image of her summoning a couple of screeching, gibbering abominations to rip that guy to bits before dragging his screaming soul back to the black pits from whence they came.

Don't give a damn about a City of movie (because chances are it'll suck) but props for the pic of Ms Von Teese. Of course I'm far to old and mature to use the "I'll be in my bunk" line... Wait, damn.

I'm curious about whether these missions are never-ending, in that you can kind of bounce back and forth between Hero and Villain (or at least Rogue and Vigilante) as many times as you want. Will there be a cap? Apart from the assumed disadvantages of switching over so many times (for instance, losing influence or infamy each round).

I originally thought that it was just one set of key missions, which determined your path from then on, no takebacks. But from the interviews, it seems like I was mistaken, so a character could conceivably travel all over the morality map at any time.

I can kind of see myself repeating the missions on a level 50, going from Hero to Villain to Hero to Villain and so on, just to try it out. (Because I am easily amused.)

Sorry, is this made in humour or not?
Because it sounds really quite nasty, if it is.

Yeah, de-rail of de-railing de-rail. But I have views about bloody size 0s and all that carp...

I've read it again and you may well be right. Here's what WW actually says:

So I guess that could mean 'doing all the missions that push your alignment towards Vigilante, just not taking the final step and becoming a Villain' and vice versa.

It may come across as nasty. But It's the picture I can't seem to shake from my head.

Anywho, I really like how War Witch has hit the ground running and has jumped into her role rather seemlessly.

The one thing that's bothering me is the Dev questionaire... perhaps she has been too busy to get around to it?
