The liberty to shape your personality to your preference is tempting in any type of RPG, yet it can come with the cost of a much deeper story.

In whose head do you put the camera?” 

He includes, “If the three of you are going to play as origins and you play together, you’re going to have a good time, [but] you might be in competing situations also, where your interests don’t align with one another’s speciality form your origins background, which is fun and works well. But you’ll discover all this for yourselves very soon.”

Importantly, there is one alternative that Vincke discourages selecting for your very first getaway: The Dark Urge.

“Because you get different versions of the story, and there’s a variety of things that are going to happen where you could have had something completely different if you weren’t Dark Urge.” According to the programmer, recognizing just how occasions generally play out “works better” as it provides you a “completely different perspective”.
