Should you choose Order or Faith for New London in Frostpunk 2?

Frostpunk 2 throws several choices at the player that have long-lasting consequences. One of those happens during the prologue, so let me answer the question: Should you choose Order or Faith for New London in Frostpunk 2?

Frostpunk 2 A Mysterious Symbol: What should you choose?

During the prologue mission, you will trigger an event that states that your Frostbreaking crew uncovered the frozen body of a man in uniform. The shoulder patch is of great interest to your people, and you can declare what it symbolizes.

It Symbolizes Order

New London is a city of discipline that follows strong leadership. If you choose this path, it creates a continuity where New London embraces Order to survive.

It Symbolizes Faith

New London is a city of devotion instead of discipline, complete with a new religion and clergy. This path creates a continuity where New London embraces Faith.

While we’ve not played enough to say exactly what your decision changes, we know it impacts the whole campaign. I picked Faith, and my people were blessing the generator in the first mission, so your choices in the prologue really matter.

According to Game and Design Director Jacob Stokalski, this choice “sets you up with a unique set of factions for the whole playthrough.” There’s no right or wrong answer, and several other parts of the story offer similar choices.

The campaign is challenging regardless of your decision and is designed to be replayable. Regardless of your pick, I daresay you will want to start again with the other choice on future playthroughs.

Many games present low-impact choices that determine the outcome of a single quest or conversation. These decisions are far more impactful in Frostpunk 2.

Can I change my decisions in Frostpunk 2?

Choices are final in Frostpunk 2, and you can’t bring back the dialogue window once you’ve picked a side. That said, the game does have an autosave feature. A fresh save point is generated at the start of each chapter, so you can restart there and pick the other choice.

Your previous decisions still count, but it’s a great way to revisit key moments in your playthrough without starting from scratch.

Frostpunk is a tough game to crack, and it’s important you play on a suitable difficulty setting if you want to enjoy the experience.
