    Honestly, I love the sheer amount of narrative detail put into this game. It's somewhat easy to create all these monsters and give them a gun, but what happens after the evil overlords are gone? Do the monsters adapt to society? How does a society with THIS much variety look like? how did they accomplish this? How has society adjusted? What makes life in this city for these different species of people?
    Soo much love went into creating this world and I really love how it comes together even in the small details

      It should be interesting. Not just human com agents, but the option to bring in some alien agents with specialised abilities. Also should be fun to see how this band of Xcom handles the situation of a new alien threat, as well as how the world has been shaped by the aftermath of the fall of advent. Maybe with multiple hostile factions ranging from the usual alien menace, to human-alien cult zealots, to anti-alien human fanatics, and maybe even aliens who are closer to domestic criminals. And with both land based threats, along with the terrors of the deep, and varying factions to face and keep on side, the handling of certain missions might require some careful management.
