Hello,
I discovered PFO just four months ago, and catching up on info from old blogs, gobbocasts and forum is a bit messy. Hoping for some answers from the veterans around here!
I’m currently in a PvP focused guild playing Elder Scrolls Online. Unfortunately ESO PvP has turned out to be a huge disappointment. I’m hoping to convince my guild members to have a go at PFO, and that we can form a company and join a settlement later in EE.
I have some concerns when it comes to alignments, and which settlement to join.
Is there some form of built in minor disadvantage for Good aligned companies who would like to PvP a lot? Is it possible for a Good aligned settlement/nation to be expansionists and aggressive without taking alignment hits or suffer any other penalties that would not apply to an Evil settlement?
I think I’ve read somewhere that those who PvP a lot, would slide towards evil, even if following the rules for “sanctioned PvP”?
I guess I find the whole alignment system and its possible restrictions the most confusing part of PFO at this stage. I’ve never played the tabletop, and have no preference on alignment to begin with, but I’m reluctant to be Good if there might be any extra hinders for Good players who like to PvP and expand through warfare.
