While the Faction missions have been done away with, there were some plot points doled out in Season 4 that seemed wholly inconsistent with the faction and I'm curious as if these inconsistencies will ever be explained.

They involve Coulson Maldris and as Andoran players know, his faction missions are weird in Season 4. Spoilers abound below:

Paraphrasing this combo faction mission for comedic reasons:

You know what? Screw those guys! I'm making my own embassy. With Blackjack! And hookers! You know what? Forget the blackjack!

Another....strange one:

So, there's this guy who's kind of blackmailing me, so you gotta deal with it. How? Well, you know what they say about snitches! Seriously, stab him until you can't stab him anymore. This isn't even the only "Stab this random dude" mission in the season!

At least where I play, these faction missions and oddities were a source of a lot of discussion. Does anyone know if these missions will be explained, or will this just be Maldris's emo phase? :)

3/5

What likely happened is that the authors wrote the faction missions, meaning that the missions were written with a variety of viewpoints in mind about the ten factions. Thus the wild differences in flavor, and the inconsistencies.

In my head he's played by Bruce Campbell

4/5

What really happened was that Colson was ensorcelled by that Chelaxian she-devil Zarta... He didnt realize this until the compulsion effect wore off and Zarta made a few playful remarks about murder hobos in the employ of Andoran.

Spoiler:
Nothing says 'murder hobo' like shoving your country's flag in a troll's face so that it knows who killed it.
