TF 2 and BF 1 are surprises to me , but the remakes I expected . I still paid full price for Skyrim , but I ' ve put over 100 hours in already , so . <| sep |> RedskinsDallas is doing a throwback day so they have Hanson . <| sep |> You return to find a strange , greenish creature with a broom , standing right where you were fighting that giant blob dude . He seems to be doing his best to sweep away all the footprints and explosionmarks , leaving pristine untouched snow in their place . It hasn ' t noticed you . <| sep |> Until they use American Alpha better , it ' s good but not great . Let ' s not go overboard with our adjectives here . <| sep |> A gradual shift would be nice . Every 5 years or so there could be a chance that an Ethos shifts one step on its axis so from Fanatic to Normal or vice versa , or from Normal to None or vice versa , with the likelihood depending on how much influence the respective faction has . Which in turn is affected by the actions taken by the player . e . g . play a Pacifist empire that keeps kicking off liberation wars and you ' ll see a militant faction rise to prominence , and sooner or later you ' ll drop the Pacifist Ethos . Keep it up and the government will ultimately switch to Militarism .
