Slightly spoilerish...

Aside from the Rapax Common and Rapax Templar, has anyone had other Rapax factions show up on their journal? The reason I ask is when I went through the Queens chambers and opened some doors I received a message saying my faction rating with the Rapax assassins had decreased. Later, after meeting/beating the Prince it said my rating with the Rapax army had decreased. Any ideas?

Yeah, I actually remember the Rapax Assasin faction rating decreasing. Maybe they were meant to be the Queens personal guards or something but Sir-Tech ran out of time before they could implement them into the story properly. Otherwise, I dunno?

That puzzled me too.

I still haven't ever found any of these assassins whose faction I'm losing (except for the one I killed for Z'Ant).

I have a lot of questions about the entire Rapax deal that I've yet to answer, mostly concerning the Queen. Given her responses once you "free" her (though she never actually leaves her prison, regardless of anything I've tried so far), it almost as seems as though there is supposed to be more involving her, the King, and the Prince, especially since you get a journal entry/quest to free her that I've never been able to complete/get rid of.

Apparently, there is a dialog that can occur with the Prince if you approach him in Ascension Peak and are still allied with the Templars (by the time I did this, I was back on their bad side [img]graemlins/evillaughter1.gif[/img] ), but I have no idea whether or not this has any affect. I'm going to try it this time around though and see if I can't figure this out.

Either this is just unfinished plotline, or I'm missing something major. Does anyone else have anything else to add to the mystery? [img]smile.gif[/img]
