The Secret World


Recommended Posts

Some thoughts...

 

Funcom has a bad record of quality MMO releases. AoC is JUST now getting to what was expected on release over a year ago. And I heard Anarchy Online took about as long as well to get to a full content, stable, playable condition. So while I love the concept I certainly wouldn't jump in head first without looking. I'd deff wait a month or two after release and see what kind of feedback it gets.

 

Speaking of content... this seems like a very poorly veiled rip off of the Witchcraft RPG setting.. and I mean poorly veiled. Which in of itself is a great and interesting setting/game but just seems to me they robbed the concept of that RPG blind with this MMORPG.

I am not informed beyond generic tidbits but it seems this will be an "Supernatural & Urban" setting. I hope it will be somewhat akin to "World of Darkness" instead of Twilight / Buffy'esque settings.

 

I don't have much info on the factions beyond what I read about them in the test (a pharagraph or two worth of text for each faction)

Don't even put Buffy in the same post with Twilight, you risk unleashing forces that are unfathomable to the likes of you and I.

 

Maybe it will be the same Twin World scenario, but the barrier is so weak that bits are leaking through?

Templars? Illuminati?

Well if they used some total fictitious groups you'd be all moaning how its supposed to be a parallel world to our own but can't make any associations with them. Bottom line its supposed to me a darker mirror to our own (WoD anyone?) thus makes sense to use existing places, groups and people either present or from the past.

That reminds me - I really should replay Dreamfall.

 

That reminds me, the hot dragon chick was a potentially interesting character,

too bad she just randomly died

.

That, like the rest of the game, was quite unclear. People are still speculating about it on the official DF-forums.
