Makes sense what you are saying. I’m starting to read 2nd edition and think I’m going to buy 6th edition just so I can read through it. Would like to compare to really see the differences. So will keep all posted as I do this. I like to read so hoping at least if the 6th rules are drek then at least down good background or information on the 2080 world.
I got an insert with the crossfire game that we bought which has a very condensed summary over from the beginning to 2080. I saw something about personalities changes completely and suddenly potentially linked to a lab-driven virus or similar. This seemed interesting so am curious what this is and hopefully a little detail explained in the new book.
Would be nice to sort of build a history from the past to the current to connect this if I ever get an actual game going.
