So I read a few pages of this and everyone seems to be missing the actual big issues of the myr war.
Firstly who started it doesn't matter at this point. Even if there were an AHA moment where you found out the golds started it and were bad guys all along you know what would change? Nothing. Why? Because the red myr greeted the offworlders like a normal species, with caution, respect, and a healthy level of suspicion. The gold myr on the other hand greeted them with open legs and orifices and played the role whor---I mean damsels in distress. Short of proving the golds guilty of warcrimes or something horrific the gold favoritism should be expected.....especially since all the ingame territory on myrellions surface so far is all gold myr land.(Hold on to your "but kressia--" statements I'm getting to that.)
We haven't actually seen the Red myr's home, or their leadership, we've seen the gold queens and the gold cities, but we have NO idea what's going on in the red's home turf or if there are offworlders living over there as well, right now there is only the embassy which is above gildenmere which is a gold city state, and kressia which is a gold city state under red occupation. Not a red territory but a red occupied territory. There's a big difference. So little is really known about what the reds do or how their normal daily life goes on or what their civilians do. You only interact with red military personnel. So you and the other offworlders you meet only have a skewed view of the myr based on the fact they're staying right above a gold myr city, whereas the nearest red controlled zone is a plane ride away, and it's worth noting that in said zone there are no other offworlders. Wheras gildenmere is littered with other aliens (Xanthe, and the shady guy who wants honey whose name I can't remember, Gene, the genemod guy, and the others in the embassy) but there are none in kressia. which means it's unlikely there are many if any who've traveled to the red homelands and seen what they're really like when not parked on the edge of a potential battleground or in enemy territory.
Second, nobody's mentioned the rebels, well....the two groups of rebels which may or may not be the same group. But there is a Unification movement among the myr which i would guess both sides are probably trying to clamp down on. A quest has you go to one of these unification ralleys to find an extremist and report(or not) them to get access to the gold queen. But there's no further interaction with the rebels, or so much as a peep out of the unification movement after that. There's also the still unifinished quest for kressia which involves rebels presumably resisting the red occupation.....annnnnd the completely un-touched subject of the orange myr gene treatment you can develop. Want to end the myr red/gold war? Make them all orange so no one knows who was red and gold anymore.This actually seems to be the sort of thing those seeking unification would really want to get their hands on....but before i get to into that this brings me to another subject not really touched on: Half-breeds. Myr attitudes towards halfbreeds is unmentioned, there's only one that can be found so far, and she's in the red army. The only mention of cross breeding by the golds is queen irelia shooing you off before the council accuses her of trying to make a new halfbreed species or some such thing. Leaving the question of whether half red half gold myr even exist. I assume a male being as rare as they are they'd take one when they can get one regardless of red or gold. So......what happens to the halfbreeds? I wouldn't be surprised if the unification rebels turned out to be comprised of half-bred myr. be it half nyrea or whatever else.(I wonder if there's a half wetraxxel myr? o.o....wait what does the wetraxxel do on myrellion anyway?)
Myrellion is thus far the most interesting planet in the game by far and I'm curious how much further content will be added to flesh it out.
