...and are you prepared to sign up for the course?
In games where this doesn't make sense, I mean the character's class or occupation. So people in Dlrow fo Tfarcraw would have a chance to learn to be a Mage or a Cleric or whatever. Those who favour Assassin's Creed would be recruited from the street by shadowy figures and learn by doing, sent all over the place performing tasks for the Brotherhood. Indiana Jones and Lara Croft fans would be shipped out to ruins, Halo & Gears fans to the outer reaches of the galaxy.
ET CETERA.
I have two scenarios for you:
1: Imagine a world where Jedi, space marines, sorcerers and mutants fight alongside each other. Marcus Fenix lookalikes are on the frontline in Afghanistan, chainsawing people down, while about a billion N7 commanders absolutely obliterate a sentient robot menace far out in space. The Jedi and clerics are swapping notes on meditation, 1950s police officers are interrogating costumed vigilantes, a theoretical physicist with a crowbar is helping an Italian plumber rescue a princess, and Yahtzee is out there somewhere mashing the quicksave key (LOL JK, there is no quicksave key and no respawning.)
Are there any normal people left in the world? Who are you and what are you doing?
2: Now imagine our world, our boring normal world, filled with these characters of epic proportions. Commander Shepard has to fill in paperwork for every enemy downed. Mages and Jedi spend an entire decade learning how to shoot fireballs or lightning from their hands, and control the power so it doesn't tear them to pieces. Clerics disconnect themselves from all worldly possessions, Jedi have anger management classes, Rogues are petitioning the government for a change in theft laws. Everything is as boring and bureaucratic as our current system of society - some qualified space marines even having to hold down office jobs until they're shipped out for the next war.
Do you still want to be a part of this advanced society? If so, why, and who do you become?
