Alternate Glitch Lifestyles

    After reading about some of the new environmental hazards that are being worked on it got me to thinking about the Glitch. I completely understand why they are a medieval civilization as it acts as a sort of contrast but also started thinking about other lifestyles they could have had. If they are robots it would have been cool if they lived in large factory styled settlements. This would work in addition to certain planets having acid rain as a result of vast pollution. Glitch would have to run these factories against their will seeing as the term "robot" actually means slave. This could go as far as just being a quest piece where it acts as a kind of liberation act you need to perform. I guess this kind of belongs in the suggestion forum but I also kind of want to know what others think of how the races belong to where they're living.

    Well the lore explains pretty clearly why both Glitch you find are always medieval, and why you are one of the rare Glitch that has progressed past that developmental period.

    yeah I'm not much on reading so I haven't read any lore, haha but I guess this idea would have to be more of a quest and not a base living idea.

    Well I guess the quest is finding the tombs that contain this lore. They're kind of interesting, though, I recommend reading them. Fleshes out the motives and backstories of the races.

    Alternate styles could work, but not to that extent. They aren't an advanced race, that's their whole point. They could maybe live in Reinassance styled settlements at best. And to be fair it could look pretty sick.
