Dawn of the Morninglight Now Available

trust is something you need too earn, happy too see something new but but but many questions

Okay, those perfect shrubberies are deliciously unsettling. A great visual indicator of their enforced conformity. I shuddered when I saw them.

The sun made of people and familiars (or implied smaller bits sewn together due to accidentally splitting limbs while harvesting) is my favorite part. And the hyena cackling.

I wanna see Betty! Sweetling number nine, the first to tell us we are stars in the tenth. It’d be neat if the sun was her mural. Or if she has wall-mounted ones!

I feel like the fancy mansion is Marquard’s place. I…am afraid. Scriv mentioned knowing what goes on in there, and it creeped him out.

I wonder if Berihun will make an appearance. Like Cassie, he always felt like a character that would make an appearance later in the story.

Almost certain he will (I thought I remembered being able to run into him in Egypt during one of the repeatable missions there (walking away during The Traitor)… but haven’t seen him around lately). I doubt we’ll bump into Cassie though. I don’t think she really wants to be visiting with the ML right now, and seems to be quite capable of taking care of herself.

Yep, Cassie! Cassandra King. She was rumored to have headed to Scotland…so it’s fairly unlikely we’ll run into her in person. However, given how closely the Morninglight was tracking her, there’s greater potential to find further information they’ve gathered.

Definitely want to see Berihun again, yeah. (He shows up on the cameras in Angels and Demons…and was it a repeatable or story mission where you follow him to a building? And I remember him threatening Tanis, while the story had him threatening Saiid…)

He is part of repeatable missions, yeah. But like Cassie, he doesn’t seem to hang around on the map and give you missions/ chatter like, say, Ché does. (Hence why I don’t think we’ll meet him again. Unless it’s like a flashback like in Tokyo.)

Just replayed The Pachinko Model onstream tonight, shuddering seems like a very appropriate response.

I posted a pic of some dialogue from The Pick Up over on Twitter that makes me wonder very much about seeing Cassie. Though suppose she wasn’t the one who said the line, so maybe I’m reaching. I’m just not sure if I should post it here…it’s an early mission, and in the opening cutscene for it, but not sure if still spoilery? Can I spoiler tag pics? O_o

That is the best looking part of the zone that we’ve seen so far. Tho I also like the Agartha enterance and the gate. Can’t wait to explore the entire thing though.

There’s a pretty good chance we’ll see Berihun again. From Angels and Demons…

You sure can! Here’s some things I learned:

[Not relevant after more science, but for the sake of education, I’m leaving this point in:]

There’s more of what I learned about posting images in that post, but those are the two most relevant points for using the spoiler tags with images.

EDIT: additional thing I learned: for quotes, you can click on the expand/dropdown arrow within the quote box on the top right. That will expand the quote to show the entire post, with the quoted section highlighted. :smiley:
EDIT2: quotes appear to preserve the text as-is. While opening the dropdown does result in seeing the proper post (since it is generated on click), the copied text displayed in the truncated quote is not automagically edited by the forum.

You are AMAZING, Mel! :smiley:

Ok, so this is the pic I was talking about, from a Kingsmouth mission, that got me so excited when seen after the trailer for Season 2. Complete with me in the middle of raising my hand to gesture wildly at the screen bc I had myself muted at the time. xD

Only hit enter once after opening a tag. Twice breaks it on this forum. (So remove the paragraph space after the link.)

It also generally takes a few seconds to auto-edit overlarge images into links if they’re over 3mb. (Hi, live editing! XD)

Woot, success! Thank you. <3

No problem! :heart: I suspect most folks haven’t used this type of forum before, so we’re all learning together. XD

RIGHT DUH also NICE SCREENSHOT. I think I remember dismissing that when I first heard him say it, and then (despite cluing into the horror of the ML and agreeing with Cassini’s “red flag!”), didn’t pay it any mind on alts. FOR SHAME

Undercover? Infiltration? Man, this finally sounds like some real agent action! Hope there’s lots of traps (deadly preferred if one is not careful enough and doesn’t take things seriously), investigation, sabotage, dark humor. I sure as hel don’t wanna be able to go full force and simply blast my way out.
I want something to make me think! Hope there’s an option to rig the whole place before I sneak out, grab popcorn (or a taco) and watch it go BOOM from a distance with a fat smile on my face :smiling_imp:

Keep your pokerfaces in front of these scumbags while blasting the whole place up inside your head sounds like a challenge. Let’s help them embrace the light :sparkling_heart:

Edit: Didn’t get the “boar” in Kaidan subway and don’t get the fancy hyenas either. That little “not my thing” aside: I’m hyped!

I’ve run through that mission on multiple characters at different times, too. Never thought anything much of it until last night, after the trailer. :smiley: It was kinda hilarious on stream, you could see the moment my brain registered the words I was hearing and I jumped in my chair. <3 I love that the folks who work on this game pay so much attention to what they’re doing with things like that.

Mm-hm, I love the attention to detail in the story and environment here, too. :smiley: Remember that time we go to the underground ruins in All Roads Lead to Rome? Sure, there’s the Sol Invictus mural on the floor…but there are Morninglight pamphlets sitting on the crates in the dug-out tunnel area before you enter the ruins themselves, too. :wink:
