Trek’s About More than Combat

by qa_in_vegas . Updated 16 years, 4 months ago

but from everything I’ve heard and seen, this is all about attack and move up, attack and move up. I was seriously hoping we’d hear about more diplomatic ways of resolving issues…”sabre rattling” as some of our esteemed TV series captains would call it.

Was there no thought to a more elevated approach to problem-solving and quests?

Even Disney’s Toontown Online has their “quests” (which they call “Toon Tasks”) do more than just beat up “cogs” (the bad guys). You have to collect things, find things, run errands…may sound childish, but below the surface there’s a philosophy that advancement doesn’t HAVE to come at the price of constantly killing someone else…a lesson you’d think STO would have deeply embraced.
