*spoilers* A proper LORE at last (Werewolves GP) *spoilers*

I rarely post anything appreciating EA team work, but I feel this time it would be only right.
Of course there are still plenty of bugs, though nothing game-breaking. But a true gamer can live with some bugs if they see some real efforts behind the content.

*spoilers*
And this time I was amazed at all the details, which not only give us some insights on werewolves, but also brings together the whole picture!
It all started with the sorcerers, which are now depicted as a primal power behind everything. They have even discovered the Sixam with their telescopes (an actual item added to the game) :) Their mutated clones (an actual spell inside the game) rebelled, killed their masters, drank their blood and this way gained their powers becoming the first vampires. Other sorcerers were so fond of their familiars-wolves that decided to merge with their power which resulted in the first werewolves. And at last even the destruction that we can observe in the Magic realm is explained - sorceress tried to destroy/cure all vampires at once with one single spell. It didn't go well :)
*spoilers*

Of course, there are more and even deeper details in game, I've only simplified the whole story. But let's just admit and appreciate EA efforts this time - and wait for more :)
  • Now this is the type of lore I'm here for. ??

    ETA: Time to get my handy dandy notebook so I can keep track of everything. ?
  • Cool, that's about the level of sanity defying my own lore is, too ;)

    I'm not a fan of lore in The Sims and never will be. Fortunately so far the Maxis lore was easy to ignore, the only detail I was "forced" to work into my chronicle was the ring Greg is wearing. Greg himself, well, there's a feral werewolf, but why he is there and what his agenda is can be up to the player.
  • I absolutely love reading lore, and I can get why people don't really want lore in a sandboxy game but for me it's fun seeing how others interpret the game and the worlds and the premades. Also I like having a framework to build on for writing as well. This is all stuff I can use and change a little bit for an upcoming project as well...Thanks for writing about it, I spent some time looking for it in-game then I got impatient because I was too distracted fighting Greg :D

    Well, Greg is explained, including his real name and story :) It's not so direct explanation, so you can still ignore it, like everything else ;)
