Why are we so obsessed with "what-ifs" rather than improving on "what was" to perfection.
Really depends on the what-ifs. I like the believable ones, especially the ones that
almost were. In this case, it's almost certainly fictional, or at best horrendously impractical... but man, it looks interesting.
I may be in the minority with loving the what-ifs, but it's one of the main features of the base game as well, so the fact that it's being expanded on with BAT and such is simply marvelous.
