Thematic issues. Why all the sci fi.

[Valence]

Because sci-fi is cool and has always been part of the franchise. I'm happy if we have a bit of everything, and I'm always sad when people that don't like sci-fi always come to scream at me for enjoying it. The sci-fi plots (origenics/everkeep) is one of the things I liked with Danwtrail.

My secret wish for 7.0 before we got Danwtrail announced was to get to another planet now that we seem to travel through space, and restart a new storyline and arc there with brand new things, but I knew it was just a pipe dream for me, and it would piss all the usual complainers about sci-fi, even though it's always been there since 1.0 with Garlemald and Allag...

Edit: actually I was envisioning finding one/new colonies from Etheirys, likely descendants from Allagan spaceships, since Allag was a spacefaring civilization after all. We would have had the leeway of a full, brand new world to discover, fresh new things, and not be burdened by trying to one up everything that came before in the previous arc...
