[Poll] Storytellers, Personal Characters, Moral Integrity

[kotyafffsky]

I think that you will have to approach it carefully, so it looks and feels not like just pushing your own roleplay.

Looking at the characters mentioned - honestly, they feel really powerful and/or influential in terms of the in-game world. And playing as a such character often looks powergame-ish by itself while the only solution to make it look good is to make this powerful characters generate content for the characters around. To make them quest givers, to put it simple.

And it's only good to reinforce this concept with an actual ability to organise these given quests (turned into events, perhaps) with the storyteller's position and abilities. To make it similar to having the same exact interaction with any other player, but somewhat elevated at the same time, be it through well-introduced PvE, PvP with some special ships, some more purely RP-oriented activities with you as a dungeon master of sorts, and, of course, rewards.

If you manage to get it right, giving players the ability to decide what to do, no matter on which side of the event they are (if it is destined to result in rivalry between players). Maybe they will side with your character, maybe they will come up with a plan to cleverly screw them over, who knows? If players will end up making your character even stronger by their own doings - it's their decision, after all.

So yeah, I say go for it.
