Patron Polls: Occultist Encounters (Patreon)
Content
Hello patrons, and welcome to another series of patron polls!
First off, a quick announcement regarding the patron polls - they will no longer be monthly polls, but instead, we will poll on a more ad-hoc basis whenever we want to gather feedback from patrons regarding content and development!
This is because forcing a monthly poll has started to make less and less sense as we've already gathered a lot of worthwhile feedback and data and need time to implement what we already gauged!
That being said, we now have something in mind to poll for!
Quite a few people have mentioned that the risk, or the threat facing Claire, diminishes substantially as soon as she escapes the Continent and gets to the Isles. Given the Main Questline is now established, and the great enemy responsible for the invasion, the Occultists, have started to take shape and form, we were wondering if players would like to see, in the future, more of a threat from them - even on the Isles?
The idea being that Claire Emmelaine, being the daughter of a hero, Chase Emmelaine, would have a target on her back by virtue of just being her father's daughter. Perhaps some would see her as a potential threat, or maybe old enemies of her father would love nothing more than to bring his daughter on his knees and at their every debauched whim.
This be enough reason for Occultist agents and spies, who would be on the Isles gathering data and trying to undermine support for the Continent, to keep an eye out for her, and the further she progresses in the Main Questline, the more their efforts to take down Claire would ramp up. Lurking in the shadows of grimy alleys, behind a veneer of nobility or seemingly-innocuous faces, or even in the dark of the woods where sinister forces of nature lie, you will feel a constant threat snatching at Claire's heels as she moves around.
This would bring the foreboding, dangerous feeling of the Prologue to the Isles, with Claire's enemies dogging her every move and her needing to keep her attributes, resources, and items, all well-stocked and prepared in case the Occultist agents and their dark allies are encountered.
What would you all think of such an addition? Vote now and be heard!
