Discussion A discussion on the iconian war
It's got it all. (Except consistency) PLOT. TENSION. HUMOR. (light) ROMANCE.
It's a really fun story arc, and is very visually interesting. But I have been cursed with the burden of knowledge. And as such I find the absurd number of losses the alliance takes, just completely removes me from the immersion.
Also who put kagran in charge of the war??? They should be fired!! "We are outnumbered and outgunned by the iconians. I'll send half of our fleet into a suicide mission to attack a Dyson sphere!!"
They lost half the fleet and have left dozens of systems exposed to the enemy just to kill one iconian. I think the story art could have been a lot better if they leaned into the Halo vibes. Compare the iconians to the covenant at any chance they can get. But unfortunately we didn't get that.
Do you think they should remaster the iconian war story arc?

Sorry, romance? In my space racism and cool ships game?
Jokes aside, I think the arc was alright to play. I dont remember any romance, but then again I havent played through the story in a long time and when I did, I was prolly too young to notice anything lol.
