Devblog - Reputation System (Revamped)
Hello, Adventurers! Are you excited to test the Reputation System?! During the pre-Alpha 5 period, our team decided to update this System in order to improve your experience while exploring the world of Ravendawn!
We are happy to share the new Reputation System coming to Ravendawn in this Alpha 5!
As you already know, Ravendawn offers countless paths of customization for your character, however, few are as impactful on your experience as the Reputation System.
In Ravendawn, the choices you make during Quests, Dynamic Events and NPC interactions will shape your character in one of three paths: Order, Criminal, or Mercenary. Will you fight for justice, spread chaos, or simply focus on your own profits? Whatever you decide, is up to you, but your decisions will carry on your character forever!
The Reputation System was created to give the players even more options for customization, especially those who understand that Honor isn’t always black and white, but has shades to it. To some eyes, you might be an honorable Hero of the Dawn, but others may know you for the Assassin you really are. What that really means is your character may evolve into more than one path of reputation, if you have acquired enough Reputation and if you chose to do so!
No person is simply good or simply evil. Everyone is a complex being and this is reflected in our Reputation System. You are not locked into simply one reputation path, and will likely progress your character through each path to some degree, while you may indeed focus more on whichever path you choose with your actions.
Your Reputation will not only change how you interact with certain NPC's around the world, but it will also change how you interact with certain locations and environments.
Progression
We’ve also slightly updated how the progression through each one of the Reputation paths works. Each one of the paths (Order, Mercenary, and Criminal) has a very characteristic but also general start, leading the players to choose a more specific route inside Order, Mercenary and Criminal as they progress through those paths.
How to gain Reputation Exp?
Gain 20 Order Reputation by killing a Murderer.
Gain 5 Mercenary Reputation when turning in your own Tradepack.
Gain 25 Criminal Reputation when you turn in the Tradepack of someone you killed.
Quests Choices and Responses ー every quest in the world of Ravendawn has tough choices. How you handle these decisions will progress one of your Reputation paths.
Random NPC Interactions ー many NPCs in the world of Ravendawn offer additional small dialogues and discussions which will also progress certain reputation paths.
Order
Uphold the justice of this new world through Order. Defending the weak from the wolves and fighting for the welfare of all, your honorable reputation precedes you. Though this path may not always yield the largest immediate reward, the respect you earn affords other perks that are surely worth their weight in gold. Those drawn to the way of Order seek a life of virtue, gaining valor through their actions and bringing light to Ravendawn’s darkest corners. Choose Order, and watch wickedness flee before you.
As you first progress, you will experience the core personality of your Reputation path, but as you get more and more recognition, those characteristics might delve into more specific traits.
