(Almost) Everything from AP and TC !

Post by Klord » Tue, 6. Apr 21, 19:30

So what are we going to miss?

I’m wondering whether this will disable the core campaigns if it’s gonna be a very different kind of start.

I never finished AP campaign as I usually loose interest in open world games once the story is beaten. I kept exploring/ building for 100s of hours hoping to beat the campaign at the end when I get bored of it. Somehow it never happened.

Would love to have a go at everything once again!!!

The main story plots from X3TC and X3AP are indeed the main things that are not in X3FL.

I imagine fewer sectors since from the description, it takes place years after Albion prelude and at the near height of the great shutdown. I would love to be wrong, and we have more sectors though.

Ouch. That hurts. :cry:

But I’ll take this expansion with whole my heart. Love Egosoft for not abandoning its faithful vets.

Do you happen to have any more updates? Like will there be new side plots?

I sure hope not! Then it will not be “almost” everything at all!

Not sure its years after AP because trailer suggests terrans made a new gate the first time after the terraformers war. Then they went into deep space, but found no intelligent life. So in my opinion, this is the story, possibly of them coming into the x universe and establishing the first humans there i.e argons. So this is the story maybe of how the argons got setup and eventually meets other races as they explore hence the empty space your in at the start and the whole explore stuff?

Set in the years after X3: Albion Prelude, as the chaos caused by the gate shutdown really takes hold, X3: Farnham's Legacy starts very differently to previous games in the X3 series.

This excites and makes me cautious about this game. I love the size of the world, and even use the LOCO expansion mod for albion prelude. I can only think that if they are more sectors then it would be new unexplored systems that have been reshuffled by the gate network onto the playing field. Unless we get to see some of the sectors from the sequel games that never made it into X3 :o :o :o :o :o

X3FL is during the gate SHUTDOWN period. Though there are some ways to get access to some locations, but not everyone will have the same ones.

Love this premises. But less likely to happen as the information we have points towards other direction.

Does this mean that there will be less playable sectors? :roll:

Once you'll have most insights into X3FL you will truly realize how much of an understatement that is. :D

So from this, I'm assuming some of the systems are procedurally generated like the UFJD? Also, the thought of not having to deal with ships being lost in sectors that were once at war by the AI is just... another level.
