We’ve been working hard this summer, and Dustgrave now includes several new features that will be playable in the next demo release! One of those features, is the [b]Disguise System[/b], allowing your main character to use any faction’s armors and clothes to disguise as a member of such faction. Doing that, your identity will be concealed and NPCs will treat you as a member of that faction. As long as your deception holds.

This won’t help you increase your relationship with them, but money is money! [*] When disguising yourself as an enemy during quests, [b]new diplomatic paths are available[/b], but it’s also possible to simply use your guise to launch a surprise assault on your enemies. [*] Are you interested in criminal activities but also care about your reputation? Just put a faction outfit on and the [b]NPCs won’t blame you but the faction you’re disguised as[/b]. Provided you don’t get exposed. [*] A group of bandits ambushed you while traveling? Not a problem, you can try to pass as one of them, and get away without fighting! [*] On top of that, we also added [b]hundreds of new dialogue lines[/b] to allow NPCs to react to disguises. Just be careful while reporting back after doing a quest: they will remember if you took the job while pretending to be a priest.

With disguises, sabotaging the enemy's side while pretending to work for them will also be possible! [*] Since NPCs won’t blame you for what you do while using disguises, it will soon be possible to use them to [b]alter existing relationships between two factions[/b]. This goes both ways, and doing quests or helping people while disguised may appease hostilities between the two parties. [/list] The next demo build is nearly ready, with only a few issues left to address, and you’ll soon be able to fool NPCs by cosplaying different factions! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2393370/Dustgrave_A_Sandbox_RPG/
