Selecting Villain patron


Chad Gulzow-Man

 

Posted

Really basic question; once you've decided what patron arc you want to do, how do you go about actually getting the patron as a contact?

I've done this once before, but can't for the life of me remember what I did! Arbiter Rein is saying that he's told me what I need to know, and the patrons themselves aren't speaking to me.

Any help would be appreciated!

42. I've spoken to Arbiter Rein, and he gave me the patron lecture, so I thought I was good to go. This character is a Rogue, but I didn't think that made a difference.

Have you spoken to the Patron of your choice?


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

It shouldn't. Rogues are treated as Villains when redside. (If you were a Vigilante, it'd be a different story.)

Okay, from memory here, since I don't have any 35+ villains who haven't already chosen a patron:

1) Talk to Arbiter Rein, get his mission
2) Go inside the building, read all the plaques below the patron statues... maybe talk to Arbiter Daos in the center of the room?
3) Return to Arbiter Rein to complete mission
4) Go downstairs and talk to the patron of your choosing.





Hrm... Are you perchance a Kheldian? They don't get to have Patrons as I recall...

Well, damn. I must have picked Ghost Widow somehow, though I don't remember doing it! She's the only patron who will talk to me, all the others tell me to get lost. This stinks because I've already done her arc before and I wanted to try something new.

I suppose there's no way to reset the choice...it's very aggravating because I don't remember picking her with this character.

Daos is not part of the Arc. And Khelds can still select a Patron and earn the badges, they just can't select Patron Powers. Preventing them from taking a Patron would lock them out of two badges, including the one necessary to start the Lord Recluse Strike Force.

No, you can't change it. As with any other contact, once you've selected them, they're on your list for good. And in the case of the Patrons, there is no other way to unlock them.
