I personally have more of a feeling that The Pact and Avadon have a more Western (with the USA) feel. United, but still independant and troubles within. With multiple possible outside agressors, which currently don't do anything, but could at any moment. Coupled with a "the ends justify the means" mentality (torture, violence, military intervention ...). My first character stayed loyal to The Pact and Redbeard. As a citizen of the Pact she obviously doesn't want the pre-pact situation back. Trouble within and ever so often different Farlands invading. So the utmost goal for my character was to keep the Pact intact. Avadon itself is needed, though she believed that the behaviour should change a bit. She never took a "NY" item (no stealing), never demanded a discount/help and overall tried to treat everyone (except demons) with respect. That also meant she couldn't do some companion quests (i.e. Dedrik, though I had him in my party most of the time). Redbeard is a difficult topic. While clearly growing old, he has the experience and knows the most out of of any Pact citizen (at least about the enemies of the Pact). From what I know the Hearts by far don't know everything (or was that only changed after Miranda's betrayal?), so Redbeard knows a lot about secret outposts (like Fort Foresight) and other secret missions for Hands. Under this assumption my character would speculate that removing him would throw Avadon in a state of chaos until the new Keeper would be up to date. The time for that is not right, since the Farlands just wait for a weakness. If the assumption is untrue and most knowledge could be acquired within days, then removing him would be the better option. My 2nd character will kill Redbeard and have a more violent nature. The 3rd one will side with the rebels - maybe more. I have to see more how that route will go.
