Story Question
🕑 Added 2018-02-16 15:48:18 +0000 UTC So I've been working on some particular content and had a thought.If you've read the Cypher path, specifically where you return to the Meridian and meet your body's old crew, you may have gotten the impression that Cypher is, well, pretty much a dick.
Basically the character is (somewhat posthumously) meant to be a parody/mockery of badly-written "stoic badass" characters. He's passionless and uncaring, pretty much existing only to dive through the air while firing two guns. He has no self-awareness and takes himself 100% seriously, and is thus pretty much a humorless jerk.
Originally I'd planned any path (pretty much just one) where Eric turns back into Cypher fully to be an automatic game over... a bad end, and not a particularly fun one. However, I'm also capable of recognizing that there are reasons why people might actually want to play as that character type. So I thought I'd take a poll, just to get a judge of your opinion and see what thoughts it provokes for writing.

I personally don't mind either way. However if you do intend to allow players to play it. Would be fun to read some degradation and humiliation of such a 'badass' character lol.

It seems less fun to read the perspective of a guy 100% committed to being a parody when he doesn't even know what a joke he is. Compared to the usual fish out of water stories at least. Heck after he disappears it takes the crew all of five minutes to start making fun of him now that he is gone. I feel way to sorry for the guy to see him get any really bad ends. I would be happy with a normal game over like the ones Layla got last update the kind that show how things turn out but don't go to far into the future.

To be perfectly honest, I don't mind what you do. I would prefer less bad ends, but I certainly don't mind them when they aren't 'bad' if you know what I mean!
