Starting Player Arabella Issue

Here is an interesting Arabella issue on the Isle of Storms.

Perhaps I am wrong.

But in my haste I decided to run off and not take the destiny (and virtue/principle) discussion with Arabella. Of course the lunar rift then does not function.

Realizing my mistake, I returned to her.

The problem is that on talking with her again, she offers NO underlined text.

She just says "Greetings Avatar, we have waited a long time for your return, I am Arabelle....."

A player new to SOTA making this mistake, not seeing any underlined text in chat, may not know what to do next.

 

One suggestion - which perhaps is not immersive - to 'idiot proof' this is to place a note on the ground with instructions for new players.

This could tell them to type in the chat box to Arabella.

Actually that kind of note would be more immersive than a pop up box with help hints.

 

She says "Greetings, avatar! We have waited far too long for your return. I am Arabella, and I am here to guide you."

It's the same thing she says on first greeting - her greeting only changes after you take the T/L/C test.
