The fact that its called a B-storyline worries me. Seems like Bioware sees it as side content and isn't really putting much effort into them/ All content should be treated the same imo. That was my first thought, too, but then I remembered there is something called "b-roll" in filmmaking, which contains additional shots from a different perspective. It isn't a perfect match in regard to storytelling, but it could mean the Archon-questline complements the mainquest by giving us the Kett's view of things versus ours. Or at least I hope this is the case, might be wishful thinking, who knows. |

If anyone remembers Witcher 3's Baron quest, didn't the tree spirit quest, which is a separate quest turn out to be connected to the Baron's, which in turn was connected to the main quest? |

Every sidequest could potentially influence the mainquest in some way. I just thought, because Walters said these b-quests follow you throughout the course of the game, they might be more relevant to the mainquest than minor sidequests. |

Well we know not all the Kett are bad, so maybe we will run into a few who tell us how they feel or even give us a quest and the info we gather helps us understand The Archon's intentions? Maybe if we gather enough info that proves he's not really bad, we can spare him or something. |

I mainly guess at the religious angle from There was a picture of Kett enemies named "Chosen" and "Anointed" afraid to post, cause not sure if codes within the spoiler tag breaks things. Also, Archon has some religious use, but not exclusive well crap. I vaguely recall hearing about this, now that you mention it. I still really hope it's not gonna be the chantry in space though.  Prolly closer to the protoss, IMO. |

Yes but in tw3's case, the dev's explicitly said that when they created quests, there was no such thing as a bstory, the writing for all quests had to be of the same quality, think a serial with different monsters of the week with an overarching myth arc going through it. From the way that bioware likes to talk about compromise and allocating resources where they are due I doubt they have the same passion or standards for their games. |

CDPR is really a one-of-a-kind developer team, its hard to argue against that. |

CDPR is really a one-of-a-kind developer team, its hard to argue against that. I just wish that more companies would put just that bit more effort and thought into their product. I love rpgs but it seems that aside from tw3 and pillars of eternity (terrible combat ai scripting though, luckily deadfire is going to allow me to create my own custom scripts) i've been disappointed time and again |

That and the screens of the Kett with the gun holsters on the back similar to Ryder's. Unless all of the Kett's armor have the same holsters/lights on their back for guns. I'm already quite certain the last squadmate is either an angoloria-alorian-angoraian (what were they called again?) but it could be a Kett too. Fraternizing with the enemy -- UNEASY ALLIANCE! |

Inb4 Archon is a joke-villain that imitates Tom Slattery from Iron Man 3 and Andromeda becomes an action-comedy like Guardians of the Galaxy. |

Also, Archon has some religious use, but not exclusive I wonder if there will be a third enemy type called SELECTED. cqtm. Anyway, yeah, I'd be really disappointed if the Kett are just an enemy faction and we don't ever get to try and make nice with them or meet some friendly ones. |
