  • If the sequels were successful, it likely would mean there weren’t a bunch of mediocre to terrible star wars shows dumped on Disney plus. That would mean there’s less blatant culture war bullshit out in the universe, which would reduce the backlash which Trump leveraged to win.

    If the sequels were successful there would be less corporate shills calling people to stupid, sexist, racist, or bigoted to understand it. That leads to less people spiraling into the extreme right.

    If the sequels were successful, it may have helped movie and theaters remain more relevant through Covid. This could lead to more of the social contract remaining intact post 2020. Trump wouldn’t be as able to effectively weaponize the loss of the social contract preventing a 2024 reelection.

    If the sequels were successful, Disney would have more money and goodwill. That could lead to more effective lobbying for non trump candidates.

    If the sequels were successful, we could have gotten a grnf story of the old heroes transferring the reigns to the young new heroes to lead the next generation. This could have had a substantial effect on the psyche of elderly leaders who bow out of races to support younger candidates that are far more appealing than Trump vs Hillary.

    Maybe there is a point to this.















  • Palworld comes close to what you want. There’s not a ton of story and you can skip all of it if you want, there’s not much gated behind what the main quests are. There’s several different types of random events, you can configure the frequency of some of them as well. It is third person and the tech is more gun focused though.

    If you give up the single player part, FF 14 is basically what you want.

    There’s not a ton of options because it’s a tough type of game to make, and you have to be better than someone’s experience of yet another Skyrim run.
