    I'd say the United Empire is pretty close to what the Emperor wanted for the Imperium, a society based on industry and science, but still highly authoritarian with xenophobic overtones. Especially if you go down down the Mezari route.

    • @TheGameDomeGuy
      @TheGameDomeGuy 2 роки тому +32

      I don't quite agree with that since the emperor only emphasized the xenophobia because all xenos races were destructive towards humanity, the united empire is not Xenophobic exactly they have a bit of a superiority complex over them but they are not above becoming friends or allies with them (depending on the route), unless is the cravers or Horatio, also they do have a democracy, the United empire is a federation with a figure head akin to a constitutional monarchy

      Not to mention they (Zelevas and the UE) succeeded in their goals without a godlike super being emperor (until the end :P).
      Big E got dunked on by an out-of-control rebellious tool (to the emperor).
      Zelevas and the UE (if you win your game) have survived against pirate hordes, nanite augmented crackheads, relics of ancient civilizations, murderous cybernetic bugs, an ecofascist eugenicist, and also managed to prevent the return of the old gods/become powerful enough that they aren't that scared of the old gods.
      Big E was the most powerful psyker guy with golden armor and amazing tech and still died.

    You missed one, the Penumbra prologue video which covers the Nakalim. Also yeah I always have had a funny back and forth with the concept of free will and how creatures that can surpass that change or alter the meaning and depth of the concept. If you really think about it, like REALLY think about it, "freedom" is its own form of slavery. It's more of a matter of WHAT you want to be a slave to, someone else or you, both can have positive and negative affects and can be good or bad for you more then if you WANT to be a slave.
    You know I was about to say that idk why you reacted to this instead of the Seth review but then saw you've already reacted to that. My bad, in that case could you check out Seth's Amazing Cultivation Simulator review?
