>You could also imagine entirely new, synthetic, imagined social/religious/philosophical apparatuses.
This is precisely what I'm working on. To cite the most worked example, the society of the Novel's MC is one that is aimed at maximizing purity, in the sense of refinement, among the elite as a religious project started as a schism and the political consolidation of the state in question. This makes it so the MC has a completely fucked sense of self, and coupled with the imperialistic models of his nations, ends up having to face things beyond what all the preparation he had could have been engineered for. It's a sort of Nietzschean-Confucian thing, coupled with other anthropological and historical stuff. Of course this is one of at least five I need to have, the others are less developed inside my. I still have to imagine much, much more furniture, clothing, ecosystems, myths, phenotypes, cultural exchanges and son on, let alone all the actual sci fi and religious/historical shit that goes down as a result. Well, the hardest part always is breaking new ground.

3 was okay because as a whole it's a game put together very well, but 4 felt like something that didn't want to exist. After that the series is a clusterfuck. Revengeance at least sort of tried, it could have ended up scrapped altogether. V could have been good, could have been that sweetspot between 2 and 3 but Kojima just couldn't take Konami's shit anymore. But that first Phantom Pain trailer though... that was Kojima at his finest. I'd really like to check PT one of these days, maybe in a couple decades when the emulators are available.

I'll never forgive 4 for what it did to Raiden though. Fuck the fandom for being incapable of playing a game without self-inserting.
