WotC Reveal Exodus, a New Video Game from the Decelopers of Mass Effect and Neverwinter Nights

[Parmandur]

Where is the line between someone being a Changeling and someone being a Celestial?

Doing the breeding of new Human-derived species or being bred, it seems. Changeling in the novel are pretty diverse, but mostly seem to have been made for serving the Celwstial civilizations in various functions, being more flexible and intelligent than machines ("No General AI" seems to be one of the rules at play). I got the vibe of "these could be playable Species like Dwarves or Halflings" whereas the Celestials are more like Giants or Dragons compared to PCs.

I guess I'm just not used to American media going there. Now JRPGs? Sure, all day every day.

Yeah, that's a point. Not a lot of anime anesthetics goijg on in the art department, but I can see some old school Anine influences in the storytelling and action.

Look, I'm just saying, if something named after the Tree of Sephirot shows up, I'm running in the opposite direction

Make A Choice

In Exodus, every choice you make ripples across centuries. You get to see these changes because as The Traveler, you sail on the edge of lightspeed, where time moves differently. Today, you’ll experience a preview of just how profound these changes can be.

A couple of really cool lore videos on Daemons and Cataracts.

These seem to be Species of some sort I think, perhaps playable in both TTRPG and Video Game.

I'm still reading the novel . . . or listening to the audio book really . . . and I think the term "changeling" refers to severely genetically enhanced/altered animals, not humans. Although one of the Celestial characters dismissively refers to the Uranic humans as "mere changelings" . . .

We've got animals that are uplifted to near sentience and human-like intelligence, with weird abilities to serve specific purposes. Early on, a police character has two super-dogs as partners, highly intelligent, big, strong, and incredibly agile. Later our heroes discovers a race of centaur-like changelings who are designed to remember, to hold memory! And being exploited by having brain fluids drained to make a narcotic drug . . .

The Uranic humans are the humans put in charge of the human words by the Celestials . . . think noble families . . . and gifted with the same ability Celestials have to interface with computer networks. But other than that, seem to be normal humans.

This should probably have spoiler tags, but good to know thanks.

Changeling are modifies Human species, the modified animals are called Awakened. The first Changeling type shown is sort of Centaur-ish.

The Uranic I think was first shown.
