To unlock the full rig options is extremely difficult.

You need a team of at least 20.
You have to have Constantine as part of your team.
Constantine needs to have a positive relationship with every member of the team as well as a positive standing with at least 50% of the current Justice League.

The team size/standing is the hardest part. After disbanding the JL for the Roanoke incident, the JL requirement goes away.
 
I can't believe there are so many players still playing this game. I know this isn't something that gets complained about often, but in my opinion With This Ring has too much content. I think I played for over a year and still no end to the first campaign in sight. The developers keep adding story packs at a bonkers rate, and I hear they might even add on to the Without This Ring "what-if" scenario side campaign where there is no OL. No, I gave up on finishing this game forever ago. I'll just content myself to watch these two playthroughs here.

What can I say? I'm a sucker for games with a lot of content. It was either this or Skyrim.

Psh, modding in a power ring to Skyrim can't be that hard.

That'd be overpowered, boring, and most importantly, a lot of work to make the game into something its creators never wanted it to be in the first place. Besides, why would I need to mod a power ring into Skyrim? That's what the With This Ring game is for, isn't it?

WTR Just started as a user mod too. You think the devs planned to give the players assimilation? I've caused 3 different extinction events. A tip? Don't screw with your moral settings. When your character gets hit with confusion/anger, they like to build an army.

Somebody added fuckmothering tanks to Skyrim; put together entirely new models and animations for them, even.

The modder community can be like Phyrexia. The original game didn't support X? Well, it will once they're done with it.

"Extremely difficult"? That sounds outright impossible. I mean, unless you engineer things so that the entire Justice League dies. 50% of 0 is still 0, so that would mean he would only have to have a positive relationship with twenty people.

...admittedly, with Constantine, that's still a terribly uphill battle, but it's not as bad as having to do that and 50% of the League.

You forget that with Constantine you can get access to any missions related to a heroes tormented past as long as you complete a certain quest.
That pretty much gives you the chance to increase your reputation with certain heroes as long as you resolve their backstory.
The extremely difficult part is that you have to do all the missions on a row because of Constantine's From Bad to Worse trait and failing even one can lead to your characters being permanently nerfed or a game over. And you can't save in between.

It's also the only way you can see certain game over animation. Like Invasion from heaven or Earth falls into eldritch portal.

    "Ready?!"

    Lynne nods uncertainly at the other end of the string as I hold the kite aloft. After breakfast we came to the area of grassland abutting Beachy Head, which unlike my home village is more or less the same on Earth 16 as it was on Earth Prime. The weather is perfect for kites, overcast and windy with little sun to attract other people. There are a few hardy souls walking the paths around here, mostly retired people with dogs. I've been on the receiving end of a few odd looks, but seeing me with Lynne must be convincing them that I'm not about to start anything.

    "Okay… Now!"

    I release the kite and she pulls on the strings as it turns to face the wind and rises up into the sky. I watch it go with a smile on my face. Haven't done this since I was… I don't even remember. Not very old. Maybe… Fourteen? Not sure.

    Lynne gives one of the strings a tug and the kite obediently tacks to the right before resuming its normal flight posture. "Okay, now try paying out the string a little!"

    She twists her left wrist, rotating the plastic handle to unwind the string. That causes the kite to suddenly have more slack on one side and begin moving through the air. Lynne spots what's happening, works out why and tries to rotate her right handle to compensate but loses her grip. The handle goes sailing out of her hand straight into my construct hand as she rapidly switches her attention from kite to handle and back again.

    "Yeah, bit tricky, aren't they?" I walk around behind her and pass the handle back to her. "You've really never flown a kite before?"

    "No, I… I think… Before my grandparents gave me to the army, I think I remember playing ball with my-" Her eyes flick back to me for a second. "-dad in a park, but after everything that happened, it's.. hard. Remembering that."

    Hm. "I know a few telepaths who might be able to help. If you want to recover those memories."

    "I don't know." She gives the strings a tug, watching the kite dance on the wind. "I don't think.. going inside my head-."

    "If you're not comfortable with it, that's fine. I'm usually not either."

    "It's not that. People who touch my mind… That's how my birth parents died, but when the army were testing me, they.. exposed me to other telepaths. They died too."

    !!!

    "Lynne, I'm so sorry. H-how old were you?"

    "I think… Six?" I kneel down, wrapping my arms around her torso and pressing my right cheek against hers. "They stopped after a while. I never really knew what they were trying to do."

    "Okay. No telepaths. Do you..? Do you know how long you were there for?"

    "No. Not really. It mighta been… Five years? Maybe longer. I don't know. Then I got taken to the SHADE base."

    I briefly consider going back and.. remonstrating with America 50's military. No, no, everyone involved is going to be in hiding or in prison from the… From either the Lords' or Stormwatch's follow up investigation. "How old are you now?"

    "Eleven. I'll be twelve in two months."

    "The first of June?"

    "No, April sixteenth. Why would you think it's in June?"

    "Ah, yes, of course. I noticed during my visit to Earth Fifty -your Earth- that the calendars don't quite line up. You've come forwards about seven years and one and a half months."

    "That's.. weird."

    "Do you want to.. celebrate it on the sixteenth of April, ooooor move it backwards a month and a half to when you'll actually be twelve? I kept mine on the same date when I came here from Earth Prime, but it's up to you."

    "I think I'll… Keep it the same. That means.. it's only two weeks away, right?"

    "That's right." I suppose I could just invite all the local children. Might be a bit of a hassle getting anything in place to host them… Maybe we could use the ruins of Challengerville? Some sort of.. adventure themed thing? Wait, would some of them have been living in the area when the place got wrecked? Note to self: check before sending out the invitations.

    "So… I'm a goddess now, right?"

    "Technically, a New Goddess, yes."

    "Do I get any cool powers?"

    "In addition to telepathy? Yes, you will. Slowly. You're already stronger and tougher than a normal girl your age, and you'll heal faster as well."

    "Will I get as strong as you?"

    "As physically strong as me? Probably not. On the other hand, I'm as telepathic as a brick. The other people I've done this to-."

    She stiffens. "Other people?"

    "Oh, um… You're the only one upon whom I've bestowed a part of my soul,-" She relaxes. "-but I have invoked a divine awakening in some of my f-. My allies. They gained thematically appropriate abilities based on what they could do already. Based on what happened to Wallace, I imagine that the first thing you'll find is that it will be easier for you to control your abilities precisely."

    "I hope so."

    "Development beyond that will be based on how rapidly you absorb ambient arcane energy. I've got Zatanna-. She's a magic user, I'll introduce you later. I've got her working on a mana siphon which should speed up the process." Hm "I'm going to test it thoroughly before giving one to you. If you don't want one, you don't have to have one."

    "Um. Maybe?"

    "Hey, that kite's gone pretty high, huh?"

    "Yeah." She looks up. "It really has. Do we just.. keep doing-?"

    "Sorry to interrupt, Corpsman, but there is a matter which requires your attention."

    "Who was-? Was that your ring?"

    "Yes. The.. AI is patterned after the mind of its former wielder, a man named Thaal Sinestro. He's… He has his uses."

    "One of which is monitoring Lantern Grayven's system wide sensor network so that I can notify him if -for example- an alien probe of unknown origin is hurtling towards the Earth at extinction event velocity. Of course, if you would rather continue with your kite-flying, I'm sure that the population will quite understand."

    "Sinestro, was the Universe Fifty version of you ever married to Arin Sur?"

    "No. She was a… Remarkable woman, but with my political work... Things never came together. Why do you ask?"

    "Just wondering if you knew anything about child rearing. Lynne, do you want to go and see an alien space probe?"

    "What happens if we don't? Will it really destroy the planet?"

    "No, I'll just tell the Justice League to sort it. There's got to be at least one Greenie in the neighbourhood. On the other hand, alien space probe, probably unknown to the Human species. Could be interesting."

    "Um. Yeah does sound more interesting-. I mean, the kite's nice-."

    "It's fine. Kites aren't for everyone."

    "Right." She starts turning the handle to reel in the kite. "Do I need a spacesuit?"

    I release my hold on her, stand and step back. "Yep. One moment." Yellow light flares along her body as her clothes are replaced with Apokoliptian body armour. Half-remembered Justice League Animated images result in her suit being black and white with an Ace of Clubs tron line design on the chest. It also includes an enclosed helmet and aero discs. If something goes wrong she'll be able to get back to Earth safely. "Grayven to control. Are you there, Doctor?"

    "Robbins here. What's going on?"

    "Alien probe. Lynne and I are going to have a look. Are the electronics complete enough for you to provide monitoring?"

    "Just about. Okay, got you. Mission is go."
