    Would be nice if there was an equivalent place for Virtuous folks.

    Nope - Virtue is its own reward - just like in real life - that's why there aint many go that route...

    To be honest, I wish they would add more for the Jack of Diamonds...

    Small update:
    @Sannio mentioned Jack of Diamonds today, and I submitted a !Question. Thanks Chris!

    Sannio has thought of this, with potentials for each of the 3 major SotA virtues (Truth, Love, Courage).

    Some more about this: I had a vague plan long ago to add 6 new virtue-related mini-scenes that players could only enter if they fit the proper virtuous criteria. Jack of Diamonds is one of them, which primarily allows you entry if you have negative Truth. Part of my vague plan included a wizard's tower for positive Truth, a hunting lodge for positive Courage, a temple of the Reverential Order of Altruists for positive Love, and I don't recall the rest at the moment. I'm still focused on Episode 2 content for the time being, but eventually I'd like to get back to these virtuous mini-scenes when I have some free time.

    @Sannio @Elgarion I saw in the release notes that there's a new quest for Jack of Diamonds: Captain Jack Price now gives a quest to obtain certain kobold weapons.
    Reminding you folks that a virtuous equivalent would be nice, since I can't do this quest, but would like to.

    Thanks!

    Here's an update on "virtuous venues": I'm currently working on the Manor of Mystery, the "positive Truth" venue. It's a floating island with a comfortably-sized building that includes a library, alchemist, and office of High Magus Calum. The High Magus leads the Mages of Mystery guild, whose members can be found at the entrances of control point scenes. He'll offer a quest like Captain Price's (to collect the kobold weapons), but his dialogue will have a "positive Truth" spin. Access to this upcoming scene is granted to those without negative (Truth) reputation by any Mage of Mystery.
