For this week's Question of the Week, Community Manager Moll answers the question, "What are the multiple types of quest systems and how do they work?"
)
Moll explains that that each faction (such as Noir and Continoma) will have their own quests and storylines, but players will also have the ability to defect to the other faction and experience the opposing side's story as well. Of course, they want players to have to weigh such a decision and so there will be prohibitive consequences that players will have to consider when doing so. Players will also earn contribution scores with their faction, which will allow them to claim special rewards from faction NPC's.
Aside from the main story quests, Earthrise will also offer exploration quests, smaller one off or repeatable (daily, weekly, etc) side quests, though all quests will tie into the game's reputation system. You will earn favor points doing these quests and they, unlike your contribution score, are the actual currency that is spent on rewards. Favor points are specific to their respective organizations, so gaining favor points for one faction may result in a loss of favor with an opposing faction.
