...which in the eyes of some of us, detracts from the setting as we'd rather not see every nation follow a similar trajectory. It's also completely viable for some people and nations to simply want to be left alone to do their own thing. For as much as the game has various characters screech to the high heavens about how a policy of isolation is supposedly a bad thing, I think the game would benefit from a greater range of potential ideals and world views being showcased.

It gets a bit boring when everything is pushed from the perspective of overly idealistic city dwellers and when everything is written in such a way as to mysteriously tie everything to the result that the Scions and their allies are gunning for.
