My Adventures in The Secret World

[pixelcurious]

I did the free demo for The Secret World. It's free, how can you lose?

There are three factions, the Illuminati, the Dragons, and the Templars. My character is a Templar. Her name is Amber Blue, code name Fidelitas (Latin meaning loyalty, fidelity - I thought it would be an excellent Templar name).

Is it odd that I like hearing about these types of games but have zero interest in playing?

[pixelcurious]

It's not odd, nope. There are lots of games (and other activities) I'm not drawn to myself, but it's still interesting to hear about them.

Is Something Wicked the main arc that runs through Kingsmouth

[pixelcurious]

It's not the main arc, at least I don't think it is. I picked it up from Norma Creed (had to look up her name). There was a suggestion at the end that there is more to it, but I'm not sure about that.

I'm also not sure what the main arc is. I felt like I was just chipping away at the mystery from several sides.

I should have a look at that Champions guide, if I return to that game (though I just resubscribed to WoW, at least temporarily). I had no idea what to do for my skills in Champions. I'm glad your friends are settling on a choice. :)

AH! okay. I was looking at that briefly but didn't take the quest because I wanted to focus on the other... which is weird for me, usually I'm a very "Take ALL the quetss!" sort of person.

The main arc is labeled 'main arc'. It's the one that starts with you getting the zombies by jumping on the cars and such then go out to talk to Norma about the Lady Margaret, etc etc. I haven't finished it, yet.

I'm likely going to just re-up my subscription for TSW when my 'free month' runs out since NCSoft 'kindly' (heavily loose on that kindly) refunded my money for CoH -.- I can play full card on Champions any ways. I enjoyed it. And i'm going to keep an eye on the Origin sales for the half off. I have a sneaking suspicion we'll see another on Black Friday stuff.

That huge pile of Champions guides has made Champions a LOT more enjoyable for me to play now that I'm not spending 3/4 of my time dead.

Re: the main arc -- oh yeah! I remember that now (about it being labeled).

I wasn't taking all the side quests either, but I usually picked another one up whenever I finished one. Just to have choices.

"...a LOT more enjoyable for me to play now that I'm not spending 3/4 of my time dead."

Heh! I can fully relate! That's why I avoided PvP for a long time. I could never keep myself alive.

The secret world seems something to be I could enjoy. I need to test that too, since I'm looking for alternatives for City of Heroes (not that there's something comparable, but still). The only thing what bothers me is that it's not available as a download.

WoW is still no option for me and never will.
