I know my 'Warshade' is painting a big 'Shoot me' sign on his back when he reveals he never actually repented and is still Nictus (cue Rommy's 'I R Nictus!' shout 
)
More stuff? /signed

The new alignment system is interesting, has a lot of story content, and seems to fit each alignment very well.
However, as it is a way of not only switching alignment, but also earning Hero and Villain merits, I would like to suggest that there be a few more missions for each alignment at each level.
I'd like to go one step further and suggest that, if not all then at least some of the extra content be geared towards the Epic Archetypes. I'm not suggesting that they only be for player characters who are PBs/WSs/Soldiers/Widows, but that they reflect those storylines too.
I feel it would go some way to addressing how the Epic ATs fit into the game world, rather than just which side they decide to join. For instance, Soldiers and Widows who are defecting from Arachnos is a big thing.
Perhaps we could have some examples within this content of operatives who are doing such a thing?
So as a Hero you may be protecting a defector from Arachnos, a Vigilante may be bringing them to justice despite their wanting to become a Hero/join the side of Good (because of the wrongs they have already committed), a Rogue may be smuggling them for cash, a Villain would obviously be killing them or ensuring that they are forever imprisoned as an example.
Kheldians who 'defect' might actually be an oppotunity to explore the lore a bit (!). As my knowledge of Kheldian Lore is sketchy at best, I'm not sure what the content would be for this.
I think from a storyline point of view it could add a bit more depth and from a gameplay point of view would help to make the Tip system a little more varied, simply by having 5 (say) more tips for each alignment to undertake.
