RE: Arx
@Third-Eye For what it’s worth, from what I’ve seen, this is basically all setting and premise, the stuff that’s just going to be on the website once the game opens. No real spoilers, since the non-Arx powers are open for player characters right off the bat.

RE: Arx
boo to the idea of any characters from the first game being player characters in the second. big boo
I’m not going to begrudge anyone if that’s the route they want to take, but probably not something I would do.
In this case, it probably might make it very clear from the jump that it’s not going to be an option for returning players.

RE: Arx
All this talk about connections between Arx 1 and Arx 2 makes me wonder if an archaeologist type character would work in Arx 2.

RE: Arx
Depends on the region. Arx doesn’t have nobility any longer, and hasn’t for quite a long time. Luxen is a republic, and recently overthrew their nobility as a counter-revolution to a coup attempt. One very significant NPC polity is a mercantile oligarchy. Arx 1 was the entire PC population underneath a single crown, which was held by a PC. This is very much not the case here, as the different regions are very much divided and separate states, and no PCs are in control of them. But even for the feudal other states, they each have some quirks that probably aren’t quite how people would think of feudal, like in terms of succession.
I like that no PCs are in charge of any of the states. Leave room for people to be movers and shakers, but don’t create a reliance on waiting for a PC to make a decision that impacts an entire nation. Big
from me here.
