Are there plans for including major player driven events like Operation Pitchfork is attempting in the lore? If so can they impact the major story arcs you are writing or just news stories?asked by Sailor67
TL;DRThey hope to incorporate player-driven events into the lore and respond to what players do, but many questions remain about how this will work, and it is something they aspire to.
We're really hopeful that we'll be able to take player influenced events and incorporate it into the lore. That's one of the things we're really excited about that Chris has talked about before: that if you are the player that kills the Dread Pirate Roberts you'll be going down in history as that person who did that.And so if enough players get together and have a major impact or cut off resources and stuff we're hopefully going to be working to monitor the game to see what's happening and respond, with not only with not only our regular content updates that we're hoping to have, but as well in the Galactopedia and whatever news stories and lore posts we keep on going to be able to look at what's happening in real time in the game and have that influence us so that it will be a conversation almost between the developers and the players as they are playing. And that's really exciting.
The message boards are going to blow up anyway when the players start doing something or organising, so it's going to be pretty obvious what's going on in a lot of locations for us. I think it's going to be really awesome to tap into that and use the potential for that to maybe open up aspects of the story or the world that we didn't quite think of at first; or to do certain things. I think that will be a really fun part of the game: to be able to try to integrate what you guys are doing into some of the ideas we have and see how it manifests.
Yeah, it will just to come down to really streamlining the process and trying to focus on remaining agile on how we can create this content.
Yeah.
To make sure we do it. So a lot of questions remain on exactly how that's going to work but it's something that we're aspiring to. So hopefully!
Yeah, that's great.
