I played a Phantom Liberty gig about SovOil and a Brazilian spy yesterday.

ME1 Renegade in particular feels like trying to pick fights with everyone, including your allies.

Strange prejudices indeed— I see some putting-down of “drums & trumpets”, even in pro-MilHist parts of that thread. I may be missing their point, but even if you’re leaning hard into war-&-society I suspect it’s important to know how the campaigning was done.

If you eventually do want to go into that, I would be curious to see some of the infantry small arms discourse.

Unsecured Zoom call, screen share, Rule 34.

The Didact plot might have sufficed, except that it relies on new information conveyed entirely by a new character talking at you for five minutes over a moving PowerPoint.

The Created have a similar issue, besides the poor execution in H5. Sapient AI rights and rampancy are an interesting question. Answering it does not lend itself to FPS gameplay.

Hey, mortars showed up for one chapter in Last Light. They, uh, they were just offscreen for the past twelve games.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my legs, they disgusted me. I longed for the strength and certainty of tracks.

I’m just happy to hear that you plan to do Halo at all.

Very curious to hear your thoughts on how much EU stuff Halo has. We’ve all heard of tie-in novels for shooter games, but how many shooters have over 30 tie-in novels and counting?

I so dislike Leontus’ presence as a tabletop character. Commanding your company+ in a 2000pt game is so astronomically not his job.

The impression I get is it’s not even like Vahl where it’s acknowledged that she’s not doing her job; this is the actual Segmentum-level CO taking a captain’s job.

Ace Combat has the right idea.

Lowkey that screwed the whole sequel era. Everything else now had to sell a world in which the New Republic vanished overnight and the small revanchist First Order had a bigger superweapon than the Empire at its height.

Thanks!

Who/what is that “to dissolve the people and elect another” quote from? It’s a pretty fire quote and I’d like to have a source in my back pocket.

I’d read it. Now if only we got to see a damn battle for once…
