Assumptions you're making: A species with advanced technology that has decided to become nomadic in "big empty space". Said species has no home planet, or no intent to return given the time-scales involved here. Species is either extremely long-lived, or treats endeavors measured in...

Broadly speaking there are two kinds of people: People who grow to feel that something is terribly wrong with the world, and they're going to be the one to fix it. People who grow to feel that something is terribly wrong with the world, and that puts history, and the future in perspective...

I was pretty chuffed when I got to the "refund" screen, but nothing prepared me for the excitement of the "pre-ordering Deus Ex" event.

If they're smart, and by "smart" I mean have a brain at all, 'Project Greenheart' is their new engine. Fallout 4 really proved that Gamebryo is just too old, and too kludged, and I think a lot of people bought into it, modded it, and they won't do it yet again. The Witcher 3 really must have...
