Redside starting arc: Not So Badguy

[Replacement]

I'm sure a lot of villain enthusiasts will oppose this vehemently, but I would love to see a short, optional arc added to the list of Redside starting contacts.

 

Levels available: 1-5ish

Purpose: Add some player morality decisions right out the gate, to determine just how villain you are.

Ok, but why do we want this? 

1. My biggest blocker to redside is not enjoying being an ass. I am invariably 70% into an arc when my own character reveals their intent to betray someone. Frankly, I just want an in-world way to declare "I am actually a double agent/being manipulated and everything I do going forward is part of a master plan." Ideally, it would give you a Rogue alignment out the gate.
2. Very much in "wish" territory, but it would be excellent to have such a mechanism guide your future contacts. After a decision or 2, a relevant contact with a matching arc is introduced to you every 10 levels or so. E.g. selfish and greedy, world dominator, sadist, or the Vigilante grant.

 

I cannot speak for others, but this would greatly increase my redside participation beyond "just pretend you are a double agent" headcanon.

In an ideal world, Blue/Red would resemble Gold in choices / alignment options for missions throughout the game but that'd be insanely hard for people like the homecoming staff to achieve. So doing a single starting arc is the next best option for on the spot rogue/vigil status. A+ idea

I'm all about more choices.  I support this.  Stuff like this would be what makes me actually do more than street sweep and papers in redside.

Adding more plots adds to replayability.
