STELLARIS: New Paradox Game in SPAAAACE

[Martinus]

Incidentally, now I guess we will wait and see before passing the final judgement, but from what we have been shown so far, isn't it amazing how Paradox apparently has managed to pull off such a good game in an entirely new setting? God knows I was very sceptical when they first announced it.

OK, fanboi

I'm interested in seeing if the game has any "soul". Wiz and cKnoor have been putting a lot of effort into the roleplaying, without that effort it may be that is a fairly sterile experience?

We shall see, I hope not.

[Martinus]

The "anomalies" system is probably what will make it have the soul, I think.

The roleplaying is always what made CK for me, if they managed to translate some of that into an MOO kind of game, it will be my dream made true.

What's the difference between the three versions? Just bells and whistles?

cheap version it is then.

You can check out the actual details on steam. I went with the basic too since the music and extra spider character didn't move me much.

I'm going to be very disappointed if this game sucks.

I went that way too.

Thing is, if you have played CK and EU you already have a good idea what you are getting.  Add to that the fact they dont have to worry about achieving any historical accuracy and there is good reason to expect an excellent game experience.
