I'm just curious how people could be fans of the third SL
I can't speak for anyone else, but I'll give you my reasons for liking it: it's the culmination of not only the Dark Age storyline, which I've followed in realtime since MWDA launched and is the era that I'm most invested it, but of the larger metaplot of the Clans themselves, which I'm primarily a fan of over non-Clan factions. After decades of narrative stagnation both in and out of universe, the Clans have finally been given the opportunity to realize their dream of conquering Terra and create a Star League based on their own (albeit twisted I'm sure, but that's half the fun IMO) vision, and that's very exciting to me. Plus there's the fact that my favorite surviving BattleTech character is the Commanding General of the new SLDF, which will see Wolves, Falcons, Ravens, and even the resurrected Jaguars fighting alongside each other in a way that the Clans have not generally done before.
Liao who outside of the WoB almost killing off Sun-Tzu and a few RotS hiccups has been essentially on a winning spree since the 4th SW unlike every other major faction which have all faced existential issues.
Sure, if you ignore the Jihad, the
first war with the Republic, the Victoria War
and the Capellan Crusades. Throw some of that salt over at the Combine or the Scorpion Empire where it actually belongs.
i'm going with gross overanalysis of a one-off comment on stage by tired devs
Would it even be BattleTech if we didn't have multi-page threads of nitpicking and pearl-clutching?
