Will we be able to play "Flashbacks" of historical Missions in the single player mission packs as other characters perhaps through the eyes of an ancestor (ala Assassin's Creed) or famous military hero, like we play games that feature The Battle of Britain or Midway today in our sims? I would love to be there furing the Last Tevarin War watching the suicide run or even first contact with the Banu.asked by Cyberwolf
TL;DRHistorical flashbacks aren't promised; they call it an interesting idea, suggest sim pods could host such experiences, and say they've talked about it and hope it can happen.
[Impersonating jaded military veteran] Man... you wouldn't have wanted to be there at the Tevarin war. That stuff was messed up.
It's definitely an interesting idea and it's something that, I think, is kind of built into the way the game is so far. We do have sim pods, we do have ways that - even in the context of this world - you could get in a sim pod and maybe there's a company in the 'verse that creates a game like that which we may then be able to have you step out and go back to. So, it's definitely an interesting idea and I think there's a lot of fertile ground for us to be able to explore stuff that has already happened, that's for sure.
Yeah, I mean Dave has established so much great history of these 900 years and there's all of these awesome, big, epic battles between all of these species and it would be really pretty neat to be able to go and have full out wars and experience those historical moments. So, I am hoping that it will be something to do and it's definitely something we've talked about that could be really fun. Maybe one of them is a simulation of you being Messer and having to give a speech, like 'Having to give a Speech Simulator'... rile up everyone....
It's like Guitar Hero but for Imperators.
Yeah... and then it's just you taking a batch as him for awhile. The ultimate Messer simulation.
