Well, this thread got unpleasant fast. To answer the original question, not really. I don't expect them to be able to portray a nuenced society very well. Stormbloodhad problems with its MSQ that still irk me. Why is a single legion in charge of such wildly separate provinces? Why does no reinforcements show up? Why does the Emperor allow Xenos to make a game out of two entire provinces? Sure, you can explain it away, but "because xenos wanted a BFF" reduced an interesting Empire to clicheness. Still liked SB but felt lit it really failed to display the strength of the Empire.
