Patch 0.7.6 goes live today.
This patch focuses on replacing the Alignment of characters with Faction Houses.
Our early testing was showing us that some players were mistaking character Alignments (Lawful, Neutral, and Chaotic) as core personality markers that were driving character Personality Traits. In retrospect this is a totally valid assumption, as Alignment in most RPGs does drive character behavior. But is not how the game actually works.
In response to that we brainstormed a few ideas. Some of which centered around things like pop culture fandoms, and/or things like high school cliques. These all didn't quite solve the problem for assorted reasons. We did eventually hit upon the idea of Faction Houses, which solves the core problem of confusing character Personality Traits with any other character descriptors.
So please welcome to the game House Wolf, House Lion, and House Drake. Each in game character will be a member of one of the 3 Great Houses of Questr and will sometimes Like or Dislike characters of the other Houses.
We welcome any and all feedback, and as always we hope you enjoy the game.
