Stuff I'd like to hear your thoughts on:

1)
Who do you think you'll align to?
2)
What has lead you to that decision?
3)
How do you think you'll let that choice affect your story?

Let me know! ^_^



1. I'm not sure who I'm going to align with just yet, as I have yet to interview the candidates.
2. Whoever (if anyone) can persuade me that Gielinor will be better off under their guidance, then perhaps I will favo(u)r them.
3. They damn well better keep their word, or the GWD will seem like a Sunday picnic.

After some further clarification on point 3, and reading some opinions, I'll note that I like
DontdotheDew's persepective on the subject. I'd rather live in the world that produced ''The Song from Before the War'' than any world ruled by a god, however noble the cause. Gielinor doesn't need one cause, or even a handful; it needs as many causes as its mortal inhabitants can decide for it. [Graphics] Drivers Wanted.

1. I'll probably just be godless.

2. I'm an ex-roleplayer of 42. My character, Razia , followed Guthix loosely (she's sort of chaotic neutral) but considering what's happened over time with her story...well, godless suits her just fine :3

3. On the RP aspect, being that she'll be godless, I think she'll probably be able to do a lot more of what she wants unlike those that are aligned with a specific god. Being that she's so free, her story can vary. As a player I'm not even sure, I look forward to seeing how things go.

1) Saradomin or Armadyl. Probably Saradomin

2) They seem to have good agendas, I want to kill Bandos, Zamorak, and Sliske, I don't like Zaros' 'ends justify means' philosophy, Guthix is dead (and therefore I can't support him), and the godless faction sounds difficult, volatile, and anarchic. I haven't heard their case yet, but I don't think that getting rid of all the gods is a bad thing. When Bandos, Sliske, and Zamorak are dead, then I'll decide whether to get rid of Zaros, Armadyl, Saradomin and the rest.

Seren I don't know enough about, therefore I decided to go for something more familiar.


And Saradomin and Armadyl have the best color schemes. Period.

3) I intend to go for what is right, and support any god(s) trying to do likewise. If I go without a god's aid to do so, then so be it.



Oh, this is going to be fun.

Mod Drebin, 'Stuff I'd like to hear your thoughts on:'

1. Given the choice betwixt freedom or servitude, I choose the former.

2. Choosing sides (which god) will only led to endless war as each side vies for followers and dominance. We have already seen the fruits of that in the destruction of the lands in the north. I, for one, do not wish to see it repeated.

3. ''How do you think you'll let that choice affect your story?''

This is a sticky question. I hope you don't mind honesty.

Anyone with a bit of intelligence has discerned that there is only 1 character that populates the entire world of Gielinor, 'the adventurer'.

''Your story'' has no meaning since all the quests, skills, and experience, is exactly identical to everyone else's. ''The Adventurer'' is the only story given and the only character we are allowed to play.

This makes roleplay impossible.

A sprinkling of races/classes/professions/skills that we could pick from would truely allow us the diversity and liberty to pursue paths that represent our individual interests, tastes, and goals. Why does a hand-thrown water balloon have TWICE the range of my best bow?!?

1) Who do you think you'll align to?
Zaros


2) What has lead you to that decision?
Many things: He was defeated, yet still managed to survive, his followers are among the lower amounts of gods, yet have managed to keep Zarosian elements in existence to this day despite the joint efforts of Saradomin and Zamorak attempting to remove them, Azzanadra and many other Zarosians are described as beings of pure evil, yet are some of the kindest, most understanding beings i have come to meet in game. Plus Zaros is a thinker, and wont do anything without thinking each step of his plan through in detail. Oh and his main color is purple...
PURPLE!!!!!


3) How do you think you'll let that choice affect your story?
Hopefully it will stop Saradomin believing I will only live on under his ways, and it will make me feel as I'm not being pushed into a faction (when you start playing, Lumbridge people assume your Saradominist *vomits* and in The World Wakes we are Guthixian, fine i liked Guthix, was shame he got killed, but largely felt our religion was chosen for us for a bit) :D

@Ariel Arilon

I couldn't agree more. Although I enjoy playing the role of 'The Adventurer', the fact that every other player on the face of Gielinor is carrying out the same storyline takes a lot away from the experience.

Also, as an rper, I'm always pleased to see any variety added to the game. A choice of race and a few unique quests with unique endings here and there would certainly be a challenge for the development teams, but the end result would be well worth the effort.

1) Definitely Zaros

2) Why?

First off, I wouldn't have ancient magic or ancient prayers without him and the help of his followers :D . He also made a big impression on the other gods because of there attempt to remove any knowledge mortals might have of him, giving one of his names the God of Unknown Power.

3) I think my decision will lead me to have the other worshipers of other gods to hate me even though the majority of Gielinors residents forgotten about Zaros
