It’s time to shed more light on the enigmatic Taint System we wrote about in our previous post :). Our main goal is to encourage role playing. We achieve it by granting character Taints, based on your choices. Every Taint is in fact a personality trait and unlock a mechanics specifically designed to encourage certain actions. For example: Being an alcoholic will reward you for getting drunk and penalize you every time you become sober. This, not a mindless XP grinding, will be the main source of your character’s strength. Surviving will depend on you learning how to harness that.


If you want to know what different Taints there’ll be in the Soulblight and how will they work - stay with us. We’ll be describing them on regular basis.
