Having recently started on this scenario and finding it hard to choose a side (I'm exploring the map, biding my time instead), I decided to search for old posts to see what others before me thought about the choices. And from what I've read, the general opinion mirrors my own: there's no easy decision, because both side are "evil". On one hand, the empire's feudal system is being abused by Lord Volpe, but on the other hand, the rebels seem to be bloodthirsty terrorist extremists. I noticed a mention of how it's possible to kill both groups' leaders, and I was wondering, is this an "official" scenario path? Or is it simply a matter of siding with one group, then just killing the leader of the other later? -------------------- "Take time to listen to what is said without words, to obey the law too subtle to be written, to worship the unnameable and to embrace the unformed." -- Lao Tzu Posts: 124 | Registered: Monday, September 26 2005 07:00 |

Ultimately, you can only work for one side, and you just wind up killing the other's leader in the end. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion. Posts: 4130 | Registered: Friday, March 26 2004 08:00 |

I see, pity. It would be nice to have a third official option where you go on a rampage, clean out the island of corruption and end up the Almighty And Powerful Ruler of Morrow Isle. Alright, then, so morals put aside... are there major differences between the two sides insofar as xp gained (does one side or the other give you more xp-giving quests? More monsters to fight?) or items gained (are there certain treasures that can only be accessed through following a specific storyline that are particularly worth it)? -------------------- "Take time to listen to what is said without words, to obey the law too subtle to be written, to worship the unnameable and to embrace the unformed." -- Lao Tzu Posts: 124 | Registered: Monday, September 26 2005 07:00 |

Okay, I'm at the point where I have to choose a side. To get the chance of killing both leaders (Stalker & Jaen), do I have to follow one side in particular, or can I do that following either storyline? -------------------- "Take time to listen to what is said without words, to obey the law too subtle to be written, to worship the unnameable and to embrace the unformed." -- Lao Tzu Posts: 124 | Registered: Monday, September 26 2005 07:00 |

No, you can do it either way. It's probably easier to work for the Empire and kill Jaen at the end than to work for the rebels and kill Stalker at the end, though. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Okay, thanks. :) I guess I'll just keep a save file just before I choose, and try both. -------------------- "Take time to listen to what is said without words, to obey the law too subtle to be written, to worship the unnameable and to embrace the unformed." -- Lao Tzu Posts: 124 | Registered: Monday, September 26 2005 07:00 |

Yeah the Empire is a much better way to go. The rebels are just too pitiful. -------------------- The Knight Between Posts. Posts: 2395 | Registered: Friday, November 2 2001 08:00 |

The empire side is easier, you get better rewards, and yes, you can kill Jaen (the empire leader)at the end fairly easily. Plus Stalker is an ungrateful jerk, as are all the rebels. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot?
