Turn the "pyramid" into an hourglass
I’d be down with that. I’d love to see a refocusing on the Orders we’ve chosen.
It would be a hell of a lot of new content to add, but I think it’d be amazing and totally worth it.
It’d be interesting, for sure, but I don’t think it’ll really do much to solve the problem of choices not mattering.
The problem really starts to come clear when you join, or right after you join, the orders, and characters simply don’t react to you or acknowledge your prior actions or decisions or what not.
For example, despite spending the whole first arc of your charr character rebuilding your warband, many of the characters don’t show up ever again, to the point when you’re trying to retake Claw island, you kind of wonder why you’re not calling up your warband for help.
