Pai Pai Master said: Really, really hope they are taking some inspiration (from themselves) from this kinda stuff when writing the story for Shadowfall. I think the fact that we have Helghans and Vektans living right next door to eachother lends itself better to a more personal story that goes into the histories and cultures of these two factions.



The player character in Shadowfall appears to be a lot higher up than Rico and Sev, so hopefully the story does get more involved than just the exploits of a bunch of military grunts. Click to expand...

I think Shadow Fall is the first big shakeup as far as story goes. It's not just a war (Helghast invading Vekta, ISA invading Helghan, etc), it's an entirely new dynamic.Read the 'Early Helghan Era' section for example; "Helghast" (which is a term that wasn't coined till waaaay later by Vasari) are indeed Vektans. Vekta, which is now more of a UCN/ISA home world than anything, was actually populated by the the population of the Helghan Corporation. They named the planet "Vekta" after their CEO ffs.So just as they slowly left Vekta to Helghan due to the crack downs, after KZ3's ending they more or less had to come back to Vekta (and ofc there were probably Helghast on Vekta all along as well, in small numbers). I think SF will HAVE to dive into the story more, if we are to realize that Vekta actually belongs to the Helghast. Now that they have no where to really go due to the ISA pretty much destroying Helghan (with that radiation release), the Helghast have nothing left to do BUT take over Vekta.Can't wait to see how they tackle the story, really hope despite the action focus we've seen thus far, that the story is deeper and the world more open.
