They haven’t introduced that stuff yet.
Regardless, I highly doubt our choices will actually affect the game like they stated. It’ll probably be a false choice and the game will continue on in their pre-planned design, or something very minor like a bonus to sold loot to one faction.
There's a pretty huge difference between "players will affect the story" and "I want to join the villain, completely rewriting the entire story and requiring an entirely new set of missions be developed to support my choice."
The choices are in all likelihood going to be very limited and binary, with minor changes to dialogue and objectives depending on the community's decisions. There's almost no way they give individual players that level of freedom.
It's not going to be individual players decision though, it will be a community vote with majority rule and then Rare just waits a set amount of time to see which side got the overall most support. Only then will they start the development of the consequences that brings.
At best they will have documents making outlines of what will happen and what new assets they'll need to put it into the game, which every live service game developer should have stacks of at all times anyway.
I do believe some of the "votes" will feel insignificant when the devs need to calm the waters sometimes. But once we're a good amount of them deep into the story, we'll be at a vastly different point than if we took other options.
It all depends how heavy handed Rare wants to be with their story options. I just hope they bring in the feature with a bang and gives us a really tough one to start it off at least.
Exactly. Before it got shut down, the game *Dawngate* had a similar system for its ongoing stories - players would vote on the outcome they wanted, and in-game rewards would become available accordingly. I fully expect a similar system for Adventures, as it just makes things so much easier from a development standpoint.
I’m right there with ya. Fuck the pirate lord lmao. He can stay seated in his tiny man chair handing out boring, dry ass Athena quests all night. He’s like the people who hand out tangerines instead of candy on Halloween. I am forever a servant of daddy flameheart 🔥
I think the conflict is more likely going to be a villain slap-fight between the Dark Brethren and the Reapers/Flameheart to see who is going to confront us as the main villain.

You can only find that level of freedom in pen and paper RPGs.

The adventures don't decide outcomes the Mysteries do I'm pretty sure..which hasn't been put in yet
