Perhaps they may add in a story about how a nation ruled by a theocracy can lead to endless bloodshed due to blind hatred? Horrible, that would be!
    No what I am trying to say is that folks are pushing current IRL politics into the game to force there ideology. It's a game I just want to relax and enjoy and not deal with what's going on IRL.

    But what 'type' of agenda are you afraid of? How would it stop you from enjoying the game in any way? You are not really giving any specifics, because what is and is not 'political' differs from person to person. To me fantasy is my favorite genre because it can explore and examin almost every issues in interesting ways. Plus no piece of art is apolitical. Our biases will always shade our creations.
