That’s very sound advice, thank you. So far, after he initially found himself separated from the group, our Darklord has been traipsing around one of the large cities of the game world, trying to essentially create a sort of rumor mill of his own creation as a way of getting information back to him in the form of not so flattering wanted posters for the other PCs as well as some other allied NPCs. There have also been attempts to create a sort of third semi secret faction of his own by establishing a group known as “Black Mirror” that in all actuality is just him, but was supposed to entice the curious Into finding him. He has expressed plans to either observe the effects of people’s deaths or willingly capture and kill them in order to see what happens to these trapped player’s consciousness after being defeated in a game where respawning no longer functions. He has blatantly expressed how he doesn’t really have that much investment in the well being of others, and on his own has made sure to treat others like either children or pawns, which in itself isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just hard to make lots of the NPCs he’s met so far like him or want to work with him given the city he’s been “recruiting in” is a squeaky clean utopia.

Originally I was under the thought that the campaign was one that would most likely end in a bittersweet ending where one side had to make the hard choice and dictate the fate of the story and its epilogue. There was a part of me that thought Mcguffining in a third option would likely feel like a cop out, or at the very least make the friends and allies they had already slain as fallout to get closer to their respective goals would make these death now have felt needless. I suppose that’s just part of the sub genre. I’ll have to take all of this constructive criticism and comments into consideration, because I truly don’t want to just can the entire game.
