General News
Things have been a bit hectic since our last update, but fortunately I'm just in time to bring you an update on what we've been working on. So, without any further delay, let's get right in to it.
Fallout
As you're all aware, the Automatron DLC came out soon, and has brought with it some new information. We've almost come to a conclusion on where to take this, and progress has been started on guides to help you make use of the new robot mechanics. In addition to this, due to popular demand, we've finally broken down and decided to add a new set of canon to our site lore as well.
As I'm sure many of you that have requested it are aware, Fallout: Equestria is a popular crossover fanfiction. For those of you that aren't aware, here's a link to everything you'll need to know about the changes that will come to our own personal canon. While some of you may be dissapointed by the change, it's become abundantly clear that this is what the majority of you desire.
Halo
We're finally getting around to updating our canon for this, and based on the path the games are taking, it's going to be a big one. Due to the events of Halo 5 and the upcoming plot of Halo 6, we'll be altering our current canon to reflect these events. This means that A.I. are no longer going to be available, and more importantly that their counterpart - the SPARTANS themselves - will also need to be removed for the future play. From this point onward, only human civilian or marine characters will be allowed, to offset the inherent power presented by all the alien races and ensure fair, balanced roleplay between members. While this may seem restrictive, it's a necessary change to stay adherent to the canon set forth by 343 industries.
Star Wars
In addition to what major factions we already have, we've decided to spice things up a bit. From here on out, we'll be adding to more major factions into the fray. First, the return of the Eternal Empire, a force using faction to rival both the Sith and the Jedi, so as to give everyone a third option for their force using characters. Second, will be the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong. The initial invasion will play out similarly to how it occurred in the star wars legacy canon, but after. . . well, who knows?
Elder Scrolls
Due to Elder Scrolls popularity, this is the perfect time to begin trying something new. Starting in a few weeks, we'll be removing the IC boards for Elder Scrolls, and creating a game-based RP section. This means, that from that point onward, all RP for Elder Scrolls will need to take place inside the Elder Scrolls: Online game. During such a session, please copy and paste the logs ito the game-based section here on the site so everyone else will be able to view what happened during your RP.
That's all for this week, but we'll have more details popping up around the site soon, so keep your eyes open.
This is Immortal, signing off.
Happy April Fools!
