What happened to the Garen buffs ? Are those coming back ? <| sep |> Oh com ' on . of course it applies on turn 1 . However , not having a 1 drop isn ' t the biggest leak of information . Yes , it ' s giving up some information , but I wouldn ' t call it even close to a deal breaker to even bother mentioning it . Later in the game though , you can wait until your last action to hero power , and wait as long as you want but then , as I mentioned you ' re still giving up the info that you definitely don ' t have anything else to do , rather than opting not to . <| sep |> Great summary from uvey 323 , and a great reply too . On this pointEverything here is twentieth century . It doesn ' t represent 24 th century culture at all really . This may be an obvious point to make , but I think we can interpret this one of two different ways . 1 . The writers are deliberately trying to suggest that human culture has stagnated to some extent by the 24 th century , and that an inordinate fondness for historical literature and music has therefore developed which eclipses contemporary culture . 2 . The writers are wisely cautious about trying to predict artistic developments centuries into the future . They have more confidence when making projections about the development of technology and some social trends , for which some consistent inspiration is available from contemporary science , but forecasting artistic trends is a fool ' s errand and they shy away from it . This doesn ' t mean that the 24 th century does not have a vibrant human cultural scene , but depicting it explicitly would be little more than a throw of the dice in most cases , so it ' s avoided . In my view , the second interpretation has more merit . We do occasionally see glimpses of 24 th century art , music , and other forms of culture , but it ' s often either a bit of a mess or not intended to be taken too seriously Klingon music for instance is deliberately almost unbearable to listen to , mainly to make a point about Klingons rather than 24 th century culture . Star Trek ' s writers could look to academia for inspiration on many subjects relevant to a show about exploring the universe in a technologically advanced future , but creating plausible new genres of music from scratch , or entirely novel artforms , is a very tall order even for the most inventive people , and the effort would be almost bound to fall short of creating something truly convincing . If they genuinely succeeded in creating plausible new cultural trends for the future , then whatever they came up with would end up proliferating outside the show and would become popular in our own time , so in a sense it ' d be a selfdefeating exercise .
