hi all, i wandered in here, slightly dazzled by the wtfness of the last flashpoint
much agreed about story driven games dying, this is the end of it - i, an old lady and veteran of Zaxxon, Commando and Commander Blood am honestly planning to complete all stories in swtor, complete the new Star Control (that i have to prefix it with 'new' alone tells a lot), complete c2077 and turn in my gamer card. I don't think it's all (or even mostly) corporate greed - i think it's ok and just generational, completely different people and different motives. We played to be imaginary characters and disconnect, now they do so to fit in and be social.
Still about Theron, i think he can come back. He's a spy. I can imagine a believable scenario where Theron is a double agent with a preferred side and had to go deep cover exactly this way - and in a critical moment off channels just asks you to place every bit of trust in him within two seconds based on your supposed ability to calculate which side he's on from his lack of true motive other than for a field agent very uncharacteristic 'world peace'. And if you don't - he still has credibility with the second best choice, the Order.
