Ragitsu Posted August 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 You do realize that alternative universes may be entirely different, right? Maybe in another universe during ancient history the Roman Empire never fell and The United States were colonized by the Italians or the UK (instead of Germany) had a brief stint of Nazism. Perhaps Africa became the United States of Africa while North America was broken up into pieces and exploited for resources, experiencing apartheid, et cetera, et cetera. There's nothing inherently exploratory in Americans by default...and based on the fact that less than a third have passports, I'm not sure where you got that idea.

Going along with this concept, I have played with the idea that some native tribe from the Americas were able to develop a real power during the colonial era. As a result, today the U.S.A. is divided into the eastern portion that is European and the western portion that is the native country. Both have a kind of cold war that actually works into both of their benefit. Ragitsu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragitsu Posted August 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 There's a time and place for sensitivity; if someone is trying to KILL YOU, then any and all insults are fair game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragitsu Posted August 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 One need only look at the ruleset (rules inform difficulty and difficulty influences the final experience), the graphics, the voice acting (specifically, the style), the writing (in particular, this developer's brand of humor) and the zeitgeist (i.e., going with the flow instead of trying to craft the game so that it evokes the atmosphere of another age) to realize that their attempt is clearly not faithful to the series. Plus - and I'll keep harping on about this - they couldn't even swing a day/night cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragitsu Posted August 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 Frank, I need a Noah's boy in a blanket, two hen fruit wrecked on a shingle with a mystery in the alley, a warm Eve with a moldy lid and two checkerboards, alright? Oh yeah, hold the pig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
