As a long-time RP video game lover, and an avid tabletop RP gamer, I enjoy see the world as it applies to me affected by my behavior. To what degree will the game respond to my acts?
If I decide I want to play Samuel Puppy-slayer, he who commits the foulest of acts, leaving no tavern wench unbeaten and no street orphan un-murdered, will Samuel be hated? Will he be subject to outrageous merchant prices? Will mercenaries or assassins be sent after Samuel every time he kicks a nun? Will his home be robbed and burned for that time he insulted Madoc's personal hygiene?
On the other hand, if I play Jonathan the Ever-so-Kind, a man who donates the money he gains from adventuring to the homeless and helpless and refuses to kill, even in self defense, how will I gain a positive reputation? Will Jonathan be the go-to hero for the town? Will he be the one hired to bring Samuel Puppy-slayer to justice? Surely he'd be a prime target for bandits and necromancers across the land, but would taking it in stride and living up to the hero's name bring Jonathan the renown he deserves for being such a damn goody-two-shoes?
It's been a dream of mine to see a game that truly responds to what I do, and from what the devs have told us, it seems that this awesome project could well be the one to deliver. Bare Mettle devs: Will Sui Generis be the game that punishes me for my idiotic behavior, lets me survive solely on grit and determination, and revere me when I bring justice?
P.S. This is such an amazing project you have, and I'm glad I can be here to support it (here with input as well as with funding on Kickstarter). Best of luck to the team!
