A wish for the future

I know the staff is overwhelmed these days with the conversion over to FailBetter's interface, so I have a wistful hope when they are less whelmed....
The only way I can describe this is to have different paths for different people.
For instance, myself, a dedicated lady who is very interested in the infernal influences in Fallen London, will likely wind up with mostly the same toys, the same stories, the same connections and the same everything as someone else, who is dedicated to the Church, or as another who is closer to the Urchins. We will all have gone through the same sets of stories, with the same ultimate outcomes.
It would be really REALLY nice if, at some point in the future, I being closest to Hell could have some paths be easier, with additional bonuses, and extras in being closer to Hell (like admittance into the Iron Republic) that would not have the same set of offerings to those who are connected to Constables (like all the detective stories) or those who are hanging on the Dutchess' every word. So that when I have played all that I can as an intimate of Hell, I have different things and aspects to my character that someone who is connected to Bohemians wouldn't have, and conversely the poet would have many many more things that I wouldn't have, and neither would a Rubbery intimate have. (One example, having to be closest to Rubbery to get the nub, and at this point it's only necessary to have the route and the Fate to get it and to have other story lines locked out if you have it, and so on.)
Now, I understand that this world is only a few years old, if that. But once all the hullabaloo is done to get the interfaces mated, one of the projects that should be on the big "to be done" whiteboard (other than continuing the various "to be continued" storylines) would be to make unique storylines and stories and opportunities available to those depending on their choices in the past. It would reflect a more realistic pathway. I can't see how someone who is involved in stealing souls and lifting money from people would be welcomed among the detectives. But currently that's how it is.
Just a thought.

I speak with Flipz on this one. I enjoy being to play all of the available content in Fallen London and would be unhappy if some of it became unavailable to me. Especially as an end-game character, I savor new content like a divine cuisine, being left with marginally more than grinding. I see the intrigue of your idea, Joy, bit I agree that for content like this to be implemented there'd have to be a way to change your alignment fairly easily and a minimum of negative effects to other aspects of the game
