The Lore Behind the Laws
Fontaine’s legal system mirrors its real-world French inspirations, but with a fantasy twist. The restrictions often stem from past disasters or cover-ups. For instance, the oceanid research ban likely relates to the region’s troubled history with these water creatures and their connection to the previous Hydro Archon.
The font regulation is particularly clever—it shows how Fontaine prioritizes perfection and consistency, even in seemingly minor details. This matches the nation’s focus on public image and orderly conduct.
How These Laws Affect Gameplay
While these rules might seem like background flavor, they actually influence Fontaine’s world in subtle ways:
- NPC dialogue references the laws, making the world feel alive
- Some world quests touch on the consequences of breaking these rules
- The restrictions help explain Fontaine’s technological limitations compared to other regions
