Whilst its nice living in the E10 second century or whatever, imagine what would happen if Bethesda set this game in 2012. For example all the skullduggery, lying and cheating could take place in Miami, or LA -- . Bethesda has the framework of the game, just re-skin the characters, change Skyrim to Florida etc. add some challenging quests. Problem is magic, that doesn,t transduce.
Races could be gangsters, football or ice hockey team supporters, political parties;.and so on. Weapons are weapons. Quests are bank heists, election campaigns, infrastructure projects and........assassinations.
Perks make you underworld bosses, Mayors, chairman of a baseball team or even Pres.
Ho Ho, who,d be a turkey at Xmas.
