My feelings on the subject of Star Citizen are shrouded in more shades of grey than the murkiest Seattle skyline.

Much of The Secret World is the same no matter which faction you chose to go with. The open world where nearly all of the game takes place is identical no matter which group you pick.

So the question becomes, if most of the game is the same no matter which side you join, does it really matter? I would say that yes, it very much matters and not for the reason you might be thinking.

Finally, through the archway the heroes march and all cast their weary gazes upon the Fahrmann’s Peak; home to the beloved character Ara and to Elsword’s horrifying new Raid Boss, Drabaki.
